Have a Blessed day

[glatt]

There's a guy who sells newspapers at the metro station by my office. He makes eye contact with everyone who gets off the escalator each morning and says "have a blessed day' at first it didn't bug me, but after a while it became incredibly annoying. I actually used to get pissed off as I started to approach the escalator and knew what was coming.

It seems to me that if you routinely bless everyone you come across each day, it ceases to have any meaning. It's a holier than thou, almost hypocritical, move. Insincere. You shouldn't bless anyone unless they want to be blessed. Feel free to pray for them to yourself if you want, but don't try to get credit for it by telling them about it unless you know they would want to hear it.
