- The day will be more exciting if we succeed together.
35. Tell me when you’re done
A clever response used to halt blabbing and an unnecessary conversation whenever a person wishes you a ‘Happy Tuesday ‘is the statement ‘Tell me when you are done.’ This statement tells your speaker that you don’t have the luxury of time to listen to whatever it is they have to say.
The statement ‘Happy Tuesday’ alone does not warrant the suggested response, but when accompanied by small talk and frivolities, responding to the compliment with the response given becomes ideal.
For example:
- I’m in a haste at the moment. Could you go get over your compliment?
- You’ve been talking non-stop after you wished me a ‘Happy Tuesday’. Tell me when you are done, I have got a lot to do.
36. Can you go straight to the point?
Fear, timidity, and uncertainty of your reaction will make a person compliment you with a ‘Happy Tuesday’ non-stop to gather momentum before presenting their case. Now, if you are short on time and want to get on with your schedule, then responding to their compliment with ‘Can you go straight to the point’ will save you the delay.
By responding with the statement, you make it clear to your speaker that you are in haste and will want to go on with your activities, hence the need for them to collate their thoughts and save you precious time.
For example,
- You have said that a hundred times. Can you go straight to the point?
- I am running out of time. Can you go straight to the point and stop your blabbing?
37. Are you trying to win my approval?
It calls for suspicion when a person keeps hitting you with a ‘Happy Tuesday’ even when they have said it at an earlier time. When this happens, they want to get you to do something for them and not compliment you for the sake of compliment.
If you are superior in an organization, a parent, or a friend to someone who needs help from you, these people will devise a way to get you to attend to their needs including wishing you a ‘Happy Tuesday’ countlessly, you can respond by asking them if they are trying to win your approval.
For example:
- Interesting how you think I won’t know what the greeting is about. Are you trying to win my approval??
- Come clean and let me know what you want. Are you trying to win my approval?
38. How is it going with you?
A placatory and well-meaning way to know how a person is faring after wishing you a ‘Happy Tuesday’ is to ask them how everything is going. This response registers in the mind of your well-wisher that you are caring.

For example,
- Thank you, dear, Happy Tuesday as well, how is it going with you?
- Greetings to you my darling, how is it going with you?
39. Are you talking to me?
Sometimes it’s quite difficult to determine if a person is addressing you or someone else, especially in a public place. Even when complimented, you’d want to confirm that they are addressing you to avoid responding to the wrong greeting. Therefore, to respond to the compliment ‘Happy Tuesday’,’ you should ask if the pleasantry was for you.
For example,
- I’m sorry to ask, but are you talking to me?
- Excuse me, sir, sorry for interrupting you, but were you referring to me when you made the pleasantries?
40. My Tuesdays have always been good
This is you reminding the person that your Tuesdays have always been good and hardly will you find any day where you had a bad Tuesday. Your Tuesdays are usually good because it is your off day. When you are on off days, you always relax and have the most fun.
Look at this:
- You should have known by now that Tuesdays are my off days, my Tuesdays have always been good.
