There was a guy in the building that always said that. That didn't irritate me nearly as much as finding out he was selling heroin to an undercover officer in the parking lot.

Some do in these parts (Dakota) I find it annoying.

Yes, it's popular here in Florida as well

I get that a lot here in rural Virginia. It makes me irrationally angry and I usually give them a look and say Ramen. Last time it happened at the store when I got cigarettes and I was extremely hangry so I blurted out “blessed by who and why are you assuming we share a belief system” and stalked out. The look on her face was total shock and I now drive an extra couple miles to avoid that store.

I don’t hear it too much yet here in my part of Florida. It is annoying but what really has me grinding my teeth are the jesus is the answer signs. It seems every street in my town has a number of them planted. The first time I saw one I thought it was a jeopardy answer/question. Lol

They say that a lot around here in rural Illinois, too. And yeah, it annoys the hell out of me, pun intended.

..too many churches in my neck of the woods… but I rarely if ever hear that.. Ick

some do. i don't hang out with them. they work in shops. that's where i might see and hear them. they are not harming me. i have no reason to pick fights with them.

That social pablum is annoying; fortunately, I'm not around people at this time that say it. But, there are many here in Texas that do.

I don't think it's made it to NW GA, or I've just been lucky. Start responding with the Wiccan "blessed be." Bwahaha

I've never heard anyone say that on the West Coast and I lived in Juneau, Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, Bay Area / Silicon Valley, I've spent a bunch of time around LA. I never heard that anywhere in Canada.

Only in the Southern US have I ever heard such a thing. It makes me cringe depending on who says it and in what context.

Yeah, I hear you. It bugs me too. Probably not as much as it bugs you, but it's one of my "cringe" words.
