subtle ways to say "fuck you"

[strictlymomdancing]

I just got an email from someone I'm having a bit of a disagreement with (won't go into details, but work related) and it is signed 'take care'.

And it just makes me think she's telling me to fuck off.

What do other MNetters think?

It just got me thinking, what other ways are there to say "fuck you" in a subtle way?

My sister lives in the states and its common over there to say "bless your heart"

And we know Mrs Brown - "that's nice".

Anything else?

I’ve been thinking about our situation and think the best thing would be if you go screw yourself slowly that should get a reaction XN

Several years ago and I’m still not over it. —Arsehole— man sat at a meeting with me and several others and agreed a plan, a few weeks later I discovered he’d done something we all agreed he wouldn’t, I queried it over email and he replied all saying ‘Dear xxxx, I apologise if you took away the wrong messaging from our meeting’
—lying fucker—. Incidentally he addressed all his points in the room to my male colleague

warmest wishes

always annoying.

“have a great weekend!” on any emails after about 3 on Thursday = piss off and leave me alone! The subject is now closed!

The biggest F you is when people cc in someone senior in an email (or cc in half the team). Have a colleague who does this constantly and it is the most irritating thing.

I once had a text reading,
“sorry I won’t be doing your hair tomorrow. I can’t be around you at the moment. Peace ‘n love” 😆
I guess at least she made her feelings clear!!!

Hi why don't you say basket instead of swearing the f word

@Daftodil this isn't an FU at... People do this for a number of reasons, you're being too sensitive

I think "have a good weekend/break" can have a more positive meaning too though. It can just be genuine but also means "I won't bother you with this any more right now, you're free to stop thinking about it". I think I and my colleagues use it this way.

I tend to go a bit patronising,

Sort of "thanks for this, that's really helpful. but as per the email below, I was asking x, let's chat it through Monday, so you fully understand"

"Thanks." with a full stop rather than "Thanks!"

today:

"thank you for taking the time to share this with me. It is very much appreciated"

Just signing it with your name
Regards
using 'as per my last email' + signing off with 'thanks' is always a killer

I also often use ‘Regards’. I had no idea . I wonder how many people I’ve inadvertently told to fuck off.
