Coronavirus email sign offs

Stop wishing me well/good luck etc

Didn't find your answer?

Every year I have a rant about the extra effort involved in complying with the social niceties of adding Xmas and NY wishes to the bottom of emails/responded to queries about how my Xmas and NY went. 

Since Saturday, when the public finally woke up to what was going on, every email I have had today (ok only 3) has been wishing me well or luck during these "current times" - or similar wording.  I'm really hoping it doesn't go on for months or this will drive me nuts.  Staying at home and not meeting people, I am fine with.

Hopefully, once the new series of Love Island starts, the public will go onto that as the novelty of buying toilet rolls and posting photos of them on Instagram will have worn off by then.

I think I might go and lie down..............

They might wish you well in emails but watch what happens when you pick up the last 4 toilet rolls or packet of dried pasta in the supermarket. Carnage.
Still, I doubt you should respond with "F#$* Off , liar". So maybe just take the proposed lie down.

Don't lie down. Do what I do - go to the pub, while you still can

(and I'm not even 75....)

It was the first paragraph of the email from the QuickBooks CEO that wound me up. I really don’t think or want their hearts and thoughts to be with me - I’d rather they were busy sorting out the annoying software issues I experience with them.
And the sign-off says to ‘stay healthy’! Makes me feel like taking up bad habits just to spite them.

Good luck until it all dies down, then.

Exceptionally condescending. You must have skin as thin as the off brand one ply I horded if that's something that's actually going to bother you.
