There are some types of work or office cultures where I think this makes sense. Sometimes enough people use OOO messages for work travel, conferences, and similar that getting the OOO doesn’t really mean you won’t get a response until the date specified. It can help to clarify.

When you’re out for the holidays, how can you express your thrill for the season without sounding, well, cheesy?
Thank you for your email. I’m currently out of the office, returning on [return date].
Yes! I would roll my eyes *a*lot* at that message – it comes across as someone taking themselves way too seriously.
For immediate assistance, please contact me on my cell phone at 0912345678 or [email protected].
I just say out of the office. It helps that I have a room that, among other things, functions as an office, but I don’t think that would change my reply. Whether its a real or metaphorical office, you’re still not at work, so it counts.
Unfortunately, literally every single thing in the world is an emergency in my office :(
Q. Before I leave my office for winter break, are there things I should do to safeguard my work area?

Unfortunately I didn’t save it, but I once received of office reply that included a synopsis of the “comedic novel” they were working on during their time off.
i am 100 percent in favor of using email signatures and out of office messages to be more blunt about how you want other people to use/respect your time. from this: politico.com/newsletters/we…
I set my OoO for individual public holidays, because I know they’re not global, and I get emails from lots of different countries.
