I'd wear a hat on a day like that

A cautionary platitude expressing the frustrations and/or ambivalence towards a situation; an exclamation of humanity's futility in the face of insurmountable insanity, stupidity, or all-around wretchedness.

- Do you ever have one of those days when you can't begin to justify having gotten out of bed?
- I'd wear a hat on a day like that!

- Kevin's coming back from vacation on Monday, and he will be pissed!
- Wow, I'd wear a hat on a day like that!

- Hey Jerry, how's it going?
- Ugh, I had an 8:30 meeting with Bill yesterday.
- Ooof, I'd wear a hat on a day like that!

Had a day/weekend

A sarcastic response for when you've had a bad time and someone asks about your day or weekend.

Probably originates from Britain where the typical response is often "Yeah it was good, you?" or something equally dismissive because every weekend is the same.

Said in a wholly sarcastic tone, with emphasis on the day/weekend.

Optional to add "alright" to after the day/weekend to be more direct.

"Did you have a good day at work honey?"
"I certainly had a day!"

"Hope you're doing well, did you have a nice weekend?"
"I had a weekend alright"

"How's it going?"
"I had a day/weekend"
