What’s funny to me is that no problem, no worries, etc. are form of humility to the person saying them and yet people get insulted.

They are saying, I wasn’t put out, or troubled, or feeling stressed by doing you a favor. I was good with doing this.

Speaking of which, my neighbor is about to come in from a 10 day work/play stint out of town. I have a 12 pack of cold Modelo waiting for him as thanks for him helping me with an electric breaker for my trailer just before he left. I hope he doesn’t say it was “no problem”, OMG I’ll be crushed!

Who said anything about being insulted? My original question was, in essence, why am I getting all of this superfluous info about YOU, from YOU? I don't really need to know or even give a damn if what you did for me was a problem for you, or not. You just needed to do it. That's the part y'all just don't get.
