I don't really mind if people say this to me, or even if they say "God bless". I mean these days, I meet so many petulant shits, someone being nice to me is kind of refreshing.

I only mind when someone decides to go on some sort of religious rant with me unprovoked, which lately seems to happen all the time as my face must convey "please, unload all of your baggage on me" to people.

they'd shake their heads sadly and maybe even put a dagger in with "bless his heart"

the modern usage of #blessed is just "i'm lucky" so i guess it's you, the putative blessee, get to choose in your own mind how to divvy up what percent of it is "may destiny smile upon you" and what proportion constitutes the remaining, residual jeezo-speak

'Bless your heart' was, I always thought, Southern-lady code for 'fuck you'.

In the UK, when someone is inept or a child does something childlike, there's 'aw, bless!' where nobody using or hearing it assigns religious intent.

"bless your eyes" is the most sickly variant I've come across

I hear this a lot but I feel like this aspect of it has been way overblown

it's often like "oh that unfortunate person, how could they have known" but in any case it can sound v condescending v easily
