During quarantine, many students find themselves searching for ways to stay in touch, whether through Zoom, texts, or even radio waves. However, no method is as tried and true as the email. Often, you may find yourself using the same few classic email signatures in all your correspondence. Reliable sign-offs include: “Thank you,” “Best,” “Warm regards,” as well as the ever-formal and always reassuring “Get Outlook for iOS.” Now, it’s time for a change. Here’s a list of the funniest, funkiest, and spiciest email sign-offs to keep your outbox fresh.
For when you’re feeling cheerful: “Cheers, [your name]” This sign-off is subtle enough not to raise any eyebrows, but it will surely put a smile on someone’s face.
For when you’re being passive-aggressive: “Let me know if you have any questions, [your name]” We’ve all sent that email where we needed to seem stern and annoyed. Be sure to let the source of your ire know that they better not have any questions.
For after a Harry Potter binge session: “Mischief managed, [your name]” This quirky sign- off is great for spreading the Hogwarts magic. Use it ironically after a serious extra help email and to create some great email message juxtaposition.
For when you’re desperate and not afraid to show it: “PLEASE, [your name]” An email sign-off that’s both assertive and groveling. The impassioned begging can show that you are at the recipient’s mercy, but you’re like… cool about it. This one’s perfect for pleading with the registrar after the add/drop class deadline to take you out of that sociology class that’s guaranteed to axe your GPA.
While these email sign-offs may not be a true substitute for a term together, they can at least bring a smile to the receiver. Oh, you want a few more? Use at your own peril:
– From the toilet, [your name]
– Sent from my Samsung Smart Fridge, [your name]
– Tag, you’re it, [your name]
– Hakuna Matata, [your name]
