Told someone “Godd day” as a farewell after hearing someone tell me “Good day” as a greeting. This made start thinking why why wishing someone good fortunes depending on the time of day is either a greeting or a farewell.
I’ve never heard some tell me good morning as a farewell not telling me good night as a greeting.

I’ve heard plenty of people use good day as a farewell (“Have a good day!” or if you’re British offering an indignant farewell, “Good DAY to you!”). Good night is less common as a greeting for sure, but Good Evening is very common as a greeting. I don’t know how many times I’ve met up with people for drinks late and night and greeted them with a hearty Good Evening.
