5 of the Best and Hilarious Out-Of-Office Emails to Ever Exist!

Written by Lucas Meadowcroft | Dec 19, 2017 6:03:35 AM

Before you go on a holiday don’t forget to setup your Out-Of-Office messages and lighten up the mood with these highly creative and funny OOO messages. Creating fun, friendly messages can give your business an accessible human face and a great glimpse into your company culture.

Snow Day

This Canadian guy is headed home for the holidays and the forecast looks chilly.  

Know that I would probably rather be responding to your email; instead I’ll be reliving my childhood “character building” experiences of shoveling the driveway 2-3 times a day (that’s me in Kitimat 1989).

If you can’t wait for my return, at least feel sorry for me. I’ll get back to your email on the 28th, or after I’ve thawed out.

Regards, Stevan

Preciseness 

I couldn’t think of any other thing as precise than this.  

Using the Twitter Method 

If you tend to use social media during vacation then this is probably the best way to get your attention.

I’m not in the office right now but if it’s important, tweet me using #YOUAREINTERRUPTINGMYVACATION pic.twitter.com/SgL97nof8L

Spruce a little envy!

Oh well, who doesn’t want to go and have some fun in Japan?

The Blunt Approach

Because honesty is a helpful device ? A perfect OOO message to make the reader feel guilty but still has rumor surrounding it.

That's it! Go out there and enjoy yourself. Nothing feels as good as hitting that Out-Of-Office button.  This little moment means you're finally leaving on that hard-earned vacation! ?

P.S If you need help setting this up in Microsoft Office Outlook or Gmail, just hit us up with a message and we'll help you out.
