> When I say, Thank you, and told, Thats okay. That is a pet peeve.
I first encountered this when I emigrated to New Zealand. In Canada, “you’re welcome” was the only correct and polite response to “thankyou” and was always expected. “That’s alright” or “that’s ok” would have been the correct response to “excuse me” or “I’m sorry”.
It felt really weird expressing gratitude and getting a resonse for having done something wrong...
Even today, 14 years on, it still grates!
"No problem"
