No problem, no worries and my bad absolutely drive me nuts.
I always say that’s my job. Or no it’s my job
I cannot say no problem. I always keep in mind my company is paying me.
This reply goes back to the early 20th century, but since that time

but this says the english.
How about just being gracious instead of being offended at everything. I always say “sure no problem” as a way of acknowledging the “thanks.” If this is offensive I might as well just say “screw you old coot” instead.”
I don’t use it at work, but in my personal life I use it quite often. “You’re welcome” seems to imply that you can depend on me to always do this favor for you, which may not actually be true. “No problem” doesn’t carry that same connotation. Basically instead of saying “you’re welcome to ask this of me anytime”, I am saying “it’s not a problem that you asked this of me THIS time”.
in today’s world you never know who you’re dealing with...
people nowadays have a tendency to throw a temper tantrum about anything and everything that offends them...
this article is a prime example...
Many years ago I read about this and decided to train myself so I put a sticky note on my monitor that said “You’re Welcome.” It was funny when people would ask me “Why do you have that on your monitor?”
Better question: why do some people get wound up about it?
It’s not a sleight of hand, it’s not a double negative. It’s saying it wasn’t a problem for them. Some folks just wanna get mad.
That has bugged me for years, usually is followed by ‘dude’, ‘pal’, buddy’, ‘boss’ or ‘chief’.
I prefer ‘I’d be happy to, sir.’
just say, Excuse me?
I hate that. Glad to hear that doing your job was “no problem.”
I just stare at people with ,y cold, dead eyes until they go away🤣🤣🤣
You’re welcome->no problem->no prob->np->meh
I may say it, but only when it is not done as part of a job or me being paid anything.
So people make fun of snowflakes all the time and then folks get wound up over “no problem”? LOL
It doesn’t tick me off, but it does rub me slightly the wrong way. Especially if it is always the response to a ‘thank you’. Then there’s Chick-fil-A employees who always respond with “my pleasure”. I realize that it is trained and not really sincere, but what they’re saying is they’re glad to have helped rather than it was not problem for them to help.
“It is the least I could do.”
If I could do less, I would.
really? this is not a big deal.
Ya. The language is goin’ to the dogs I tell ya. Ever since Zogg popularized shortening the name “big-fanged cat demon bone cruncher” to “Ahhhrgh-crunch!” the language has been going downhill.
