Also hate the “no problem” when responding to thank you. It’s YOU ARE WELCOME!!

Yes. Thanks for getting the thread back on track. An answer to "No problem" might be, "Forgive me. Did I say there was a problem?"

Eh, no. You’re welcome seems haughty, as if you EXPECTED to be thanked, whereas no problem is humbler, less arrogant, indicating you see being thanked as a gift rather than an entitlement just for existing and complying.
