Gen Z out-of-office messages are absolutely brutal!
On vacation. Hoping to win the lottery and never return.
The bad news is that I'm out of office. the good news is that I'm out of office.
Do not contact me while I'm on leave or I'll report you to HR.
ERROR 404: Employee not found
Please enjoy your break from me!
If you need me... too bad!
I'm unsure why you're emailing me given that I put this on my calendar months ago.
Contact someone other than me.
Get somebody else to do it.
Knock knock. Who's there? Not me.
On holiday. Do I have access to the internet? Yes. Am I going to use it to respond to your email? No.
Contact literally anyone else but me.
Enjoying life! Will be back when I run out of money.
Right email. Wrong timing.
I'm busy drinking cocktails [cocktail emoji] Catch ya later (or not)
I'm not really out of the office. I'm just ignoring you [painting nails emoji]

What's the most common response you hear when you say something: "Yes" . . . "no" . . . "I don't know" . . . or "What did you say?"
According to new research, the average person says "What did you say?" to someone else THREE times a day. That's about 21 times a week . . . 91 times a month . . . and 1,095 times per year.
Obviously, there are several reasons why we ask people to repeat themselves: hearing issues . . . we didn't follow what was said . . . we weren't listening . . . or we're buying time to come up with an answer.
If they couldn't hear, the average person will ask for it to be repeated TWICE before giving up on understanding and just pretending to have heard.

Researchers at Penn State University have discovered a "disastrous link" between dips and caloric intake: Snackers consume 77% more calories when eating chips served with dip than just chips alone, without dip.
This seems obvious . . . but the researchers "assumed that adding dip to the snack would cause people to eat fewer chips."
And . . . they don't.
They did a study where a group of participants made two visits to the testing center. The first time they were given three small bags of chips. The second time, they were given three small bags of chips . . . and also ranch.
They told them to eat as much as they wanted . . . so the people just ate everything both times. So, people will eat roughly the same amount of chips in a snacking session whether or not there's dip.
Also, they found that people would eat the chips FASTER if there's dip involved.
