Have A Nice Life

I heard someone say "have a nice life," and as positive as it may sound when dissecting it, it is always a negative statement.

Always

Why it sounds positive:

1. The word "nice." That's a pretty good start for a positive phrase right? Most sentences containing the word "nice" are usually referring to enjoyable weather, or people, or anything. Unless the sentence is something like "nice shirt, dipshit." Which, in that case, isn't too positive.

2. Adding the word "life" to "nice." Ok so now the person using this phrase is not only hoping for you to have some niceness in your life, but now they want your entire life to be nice. That is a lot of niceness. How could anyone take this comment in a negative way when it is such a positive statement?

Why it sounds negative:

1. Im numbering this one for consistency, but it only needs one reason. Through all of the gumdrops and rainbows of words in this phrase, the bottom line is that the person saying it, is also saying "I hope I never see your bitch face again, so get out of my life. Hope yours is swell, but I really don't." Normally people would say "have a nice day," "have a good one(just one)," or "have a great [insert time period less than a lifetime]." This would imply that the user of the phrase actually intends to see the receiver on another occasion.

So what could end up being the nicest statement ever said, is turned completely negative by whiney recipients who assume that the "nice-life-wisher" only wishes to never see them again, completely ruining any chance of a genuine "nice-life-wisher" of getting their positive reinforcement across to their down and out friend.

Have a nice life.
