If I don't see you...

If I don't see you...

"Hey, if I don't see you, have a great weekend."

_____

Do we imply with this that if you do see me that my weekend will automatically be awful?

Who has this power? Am I the only one who works with the walking cursed? If you see me later, your weekend will be bad...

I have now realized that if someone says that to me I must avoid them at all costs. I want to have a great weekend. I do not want it spoiled just because I passed you in the hallway at work again.

_____

Do we imply with this that if you do see me that you hope my weekend is awful?

Is this guy just a jerk?

_____

Or do we maybe imply that his weekend will be so great that if he does see me that I am guaranteed to have a good time?

That way he hopes that if we don't cross paths that he hopes I can come up with some way to have fun other than in his presence. That is rather nice of him, but I think I will not put him in that position and I will hunt him down instead to get me some of this rockstar weekend. "I have glorious ends to my week without fail, if our fates do not intertwine over the next few days, please find in your heart to go on without me in search of enjoyment."

_____

Or mayhap he is so conceited that he does not see it as possible that you could have a good weekend without seeing him, but he wishes you well regardless?

Screw you, pal.

_____

The important thing is that I do not over analyze anything.

It's definitely the conceited view (if you HAVE to spin such a comment) along the lines of "If you're not with me, good luck trying to have a good weekend...but you'll probably fail miserably.

Of course you could also consider the "If I don't see" to mean "If I don't see you walking out the door on Friday at 4:59pm so that the last thing you hear while at work is my 'Have a good weekend' comment."

Whenever I use such a phrase, I intend it to mean, "If I don't see you before the weekend begins, I would like to let you know that I wish for you to enjoy your weekend."

But that's cool that you blew it way out of proportion too.
