[Shannon-C28077]

Whether it’s the ‘default phrase’ probably depends on where you are… I don’t hear it very much here in North Florida. I tend to use it when saying ‘goodbye’ to multiple people — that way I don’t have to say ‘have a good evening’ to the guy I’m going to see again tomorrow, ‘have a good afternoon’ to someone I’m going to see later tonight, ‘have a good long weekend’ to the girl who’s taking tomorrow off and won’t be back ’til Monday, ‘have a good vacation’ to the guy who’s taking next week off, etc. One-on-one, I still tend to use ‘night’, ‘weekend’, etc. However, there are times when I don’t know when the next time I’m going to see someone is, and I start to say, ‘have a good…’ then realize that I don’t know what to say, and finish ‘one’. Also, when chatting with people on the ‘net, I may not know what time zone they’re in, and not want to tell them ‘have a good evening’, when it might be 7am there. As for why it annoys you… never met you, so I couldn’t say.
