I find it rude because if I emailed them, it might be an FYI but requiring no action. If they just delete it, they might then be confused about project status later. I would be annoyed to have to re-send a message after the fact because they don’t think ANY email during their time off has value.
I usually go with “Hickory, dickory, dock, I’m off the clock. When the clock strikes Tuesday, I’ll be back.”
.
Another (also memorialized via a TikTok) is not exactly an OOO responder but it’s a great example of unapologetic bluntness. “Baby, I’m not even here,” the woman in the says while preparing a margarita and talking about not responding to calls or emails during approved time off. “PTO? Prepare The Others. I’m a ghost.”
Note: If you are using an older version of Outlook, such as Outlook 2007, go to Tools > Out of Office Assistant.
I agree. I think this one is way too long and comes off as trying to be too cute.

This is the perfect way to reduce the sheer email volume that you’ll return to, with a little anarchy involved…
7.) Herzlich willkommen bei der Rechtsanwaltskanzlei Mustermann. Leider können wir Ihren Anruf derzeit nicht persönlich entgegen nehmen, da Sie während unserer Betriebsferien anrufen. Gerne können Sie uns eine E-Mail senden an [email protected] - Wir werden uns dann nach unserer Rückkehr umgehend bei Ihnen melden. In dringenden Fällen wenden Sie sich bitte an unsere Kanzleivertretung. Diese finden Sie auf unserer Homepage unter www.kanzlei-mustermann.de . Vielen Dank für Ihren Anruf. Auf Wiederhören!
Thank you for you message. Our offices are closed until [insert date] and I am out of the office. Our entire staff is reflecting on a wonderful year, resetting, and recharging for 2018. We will respond promptly after the holidays, but in the meantime we will be busy doing the following:
It doesn’t say you have to grovel to get what you need. It says you have to ask again when they are in the office to get what you need, which is perfectly reasonable.
If it’s anything less than a business day, it just becomes this extra beacon of our completely toxic and out of whack work culture that insists we be reachable every second.
