Sometime after sunrise.

It's been a thing for a very long time, like even back in the 90s I remember it.

The difference was it was mostly between people who were both working. At least blue collar, and usually people who had a blurry line on when they were done with work on any given day for various reasons like having a very small business or side hustle

Like, there was an understood "work" in front of the "day". Basically "I hope you get through this without much extra bullshit".

That's still how I hear it, but probably not how most mean it.

I didn't really notice it spreading, but pandemic and zoom may have made it more common as people worked where they lived and needed to delinerate free time from work time.

I have been saying that for about 40 years, can't be the only one.

Never heard anyone say that.

I had to make the switch to saying that because I work nights and I got tired of switching between "have a good morning" and "have a good night" lol

I’ve been using that phrase with people I’m talking to in a different time zone for years.

I say it because I talk to people all over the world.

This is the first I'm hearing it, and I feel like I'll always be just a little bit sadder now that I know its a thing.

Are "enjoy the rest of your day" and "have a good rest of your day" different enough that one sounds odd but not the other?

"Have a good day" sounds too cliche to me, at least when I'm at work. It's like saying "we apologize for the inconvenience" where it feels like an insincere, canned phrase.

No idea.

I've been saying it for a few years. I just think it sounds nice.

I think I first noticed that phrase about 10 years ago. Not sure where it came from.

I feel like it changes the meaning of "day". In some contexts, day is the daylight hours... but in this context it is from when you woke up to when you went to sleep. So it feels a bit more timezone agnostic. But only a tiny bit. This would be more ture if you were comparing have a good afternoon to have a good day.

But the real answer. Someone just didn't like saying the same thing over and over, so threw in some variation. Someone else who wanted to suck up to them started using it. Others just happened to follow.

I'm almost 60 and I have heard that from as long as I can remember. "Have a good one" though...I first heard that in the early 2000's and it sounded stupid then. And it sounds stupid now.

I don't know, but I wish people would stop telling me what to do.

that sounds clunky. Have a good one, have a good day, and enjoy the rest of your day all sound normal to me. Don't think I have heard "have a good rest of your day" but it sounds like a smashing together of "have a good day" and "enjoy the rest of your day"

I thought ppl said it when they didn't know what time zone the person they were speaking with was in, or they were speaking with multiple people in multiple time zones.

"Morning"

"Have a day"

"Night"

Usually after 4 PM.

Nothing I wish for you is going to affect anything that's already happened in your day

I think it's an influencer thing. It really irks me. Also, the phrase, "Your guys'es", as in, "Let me know what your guys'es experience is in the comments" .
