Funny email sign offs for work
Best regards is fine. It is also the sign off equivalent of beige. If you write to the same coworkers every day, a funny sign off is an easy way to sound like a person. Here are options sorted by how safe they are, plus a translation of the passive aggressive classics.
Safe for almost anyone
- Caffeinated regards,
- Yours in back to back meetings,
- Sent from my desk, which is also my kitchen,
- Have a great rest of your week (it is only Tuesday),
- Cheers, and may your inbox be small,
For coworkers you know well
- Running on coffee and calendar invites,
- Living the dream, apparently,
- Sent with the confidence of someone who has not read the reply all,
- Signing off before someone schedules a sync,
For the job hunt era (personal emails only)
- Still under review,
- Warmly, and available immediately,
- Thank you for your interest in this email,
- Kept on file,
The passive aggressive classics, translated
- Per my last email: you did not read my last email.
- As previously stated: I am saying this for the third time.
- Just circling back: I need this today.
- Thanks in advance: you are doing this whether you like it or not.
- Happy to hop on a call: this email thread has gone too far.

Frequently asked questions
Is it unprofessional to use a funny email sign off?
With coworkers you know, usually not. With clients, executives you have not met, or anything formal, stick to a simple Thanks or Best.
What does "per my last email" really mean?
Usually that the answer was already in a previous email. It reads as mildly annoyed, so use it sparingly.
What is the safest email sign off?
Thanks, Best, or Best regards. They are neutral in almost every workplace.
