So at what point do you stop wishing people happy new year?

    So its only the third today, some people who I work with, or encounter regularly, I seen today for the first time since before or around xmas.

    But feels a little weird, even today, to have wished them a happy New Year. So at what point do you stop, or does it become unacceptable, to deliver the phrase?

    Ive stopped already. Usually would only say it to people in the 1st day or 2

    Ah, I'd stop saying it on the 02nd Jan, some people take the piss and go as far as the 05th.

    It depends...you wish a person happy new year and then you don't wish them happy new year any more... I'll meet people in two weeks and we'll both wish each other happy new year because we haven't seen each other since Christmas. I think until the end of January is fine because the year is very fresh like.

    I've only ever said 'happy new year' as a response to someone who has said it to me first :o

    Just seems like such a cringeworthy reason to be wishing someone good luck.. fcuk sake, you may as well wish them a prosperous Tuesday every so often.

    Depends if I want to get a kiss off them or not.

    I keep it up to the 15th August - Feast of the Immaculate Contraception. Then it's time to start saying that you hope people will have a Happy Christmas.

    By the way, Happy New Year to everybody.

    I stop saying happy new year around Jan 10th, then it becomes happy old year until the new year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 723 ✭✭✭Daqster


    I only say it so people will let go of my fcuking hand.

    To me a first world problem is when someone complains that they have to get out of bed, leaving their iPhone while they go to the kitchen for a drink of water.

    I must say she left it a bit late to announce that, er, she didn't allow Joseph to, well you know! That was two inns that refused Joseph :)
