I do that for most cases. Occasionally I’ll change it to “I’m out of the country and will not have phone or email access.”
Naturally, she had to take the day off — and couldn't let folks know with any old generic auto-response. Instead, she made a guessing game of it in her out-of-office email, which you can use for yourself, below.

My biggest pet peeve is the opposite – people who NEVER turn on their OOO! I’m not saying for a day but when they’re out for an extended period of time and I’m reaching out to get a deliverable.
Yeah this sort of chain is why we got an out of office address for each department. It went to the managers who were never all off at the same time.

The majority of your out-of-office emails will go to recipients with whom you communicate regularly.
