Funny ways to say I'm on my way

"On my way" is the most hopeful text anyone sends. Here are 15 funny ways to say I'm on my way, for texts and friends, a few dramatic declarations, mock-official ones from the Department of Doubt, and simple kind ones that always work.

For texts and friends

• "On my way. Well, my coat is on. The rest is following shortly." Progress is progress.
• "Leaving now. Real leaving, not the kind where I am still looking for my phone." The difference matters.
• "On my way! Please describe the snacks so I know how fast to walk." Motivation, by snack.
• "Just set off. Arriving in ten minutes, or eleven if there is a nice dog." Honest about the dog.

Dramatic declarations

• "The journey has begun. Songs will be written about it. Short songs." An epic, roughly twenty minutes long.
• "I am on my way, and nothing can stop me. Except a red light. I respect red lights." Brave, but law-abiding.
• "I have left the house. The house will be fine without me. Probably." A tearful farewell.
• "I am coming to you at a gentle but determined pace." Steady, like a confident tortoise.

Mock official

• "The Department of Doubt confirms that you are on your way. Arrival time is under review." An official update.
• "Notice: departure has been completed. Arrival is now pending." Sounds like a form. Reads like a text.
• "Form 118 certifies that the traveller is moving, upright, and heading in the correct direction." Correct direction confirmed.

Simple and kind

• "On my way, see you soon." Always works.
• "Just left, see you in about twenty minutes." Clear and useful.
• "Heading over now." Short and friendly.
• "On my way! Thanks for waiting." Polite and warm.

Keep it light

1. Send it before you set off. Never text while driving or cycling. Send it at the door, or let a passenger type it.
2. Only say it when it is true. "On my way" from the sofa is how trust gets lost.
3. Add a rough time. "About twenty minutes" helps more than any joke.
