A literary agent I follow told the story of a long argument her autoreply had with a would-be author.

Her autoreply sent back another automated message, which he then in increasing anger kept responding to.

When one of my colleagues went on vacation, he sent an out-of-office message that was both clever and smart. First, he sent the recipient on an imaginary scavenger hunt to "the highest peak of the tallest mountain." He used humorous absurdity to make it clear that he would not be checking email while he was away.
Yep, tech worker here and I didn’t even bat an eye at this when I saw it on TikTok.
It's August, so it's the time of the year when many workers' holidays come around and the time of year when setting up an out of office automatic reply is vital to ensuring you can enjoy your summer break in peace.
