You're in luck because I usually get confused and just say "thank you" in return.

lol, I do that, too.


also, is "no worries!" more acceptable?

I recently listened to Fresh Air's resident grammar curmudgeon (a local, Berkeley prof) ranting about the use of "no problem." Did OP hear a re-airing of this topic today?

also is it OK to say, "prof?"
 
My kids say Thanks and then Welks back to each other. Annoying, but that's what kids are for. For all I know that's what all the with-it kids are saying nowadays.

Do you reply "No problem!"?

The proper response is "You're Welcome!"

:whiste:

Seems like all the young ins do this...

Had to call Dell today for someone's pc problem, the rep kept saying "i apologize" upon every item i mentioned that needed fixing.

I got go fed up and said, stop apologizing and just send me a replacement board.
 
i've always wondered if you should reply to their "thank you" emails. Seems necessary, but not.
 
Depends on the situation that statement was given. I've always answered back "You're welcome", not sure why "No problem" is being used by some people. :hmm:

Of course "It's been a pleasure" would be right after having sex. ()🙂
 
Different meanings--

"No problem" - I recognize you are saying 'thank you' to be polite, maybe to not sound like you're giving me an order, but no thanks is necessary

"You're welcome" - I rightly deserve thanks, you have shown me it, and I recognize that
 
my responses vary depending on the situation. I'll use welcome, You're welcome, no problem, NP in chat/IM, my pleasure, or whatever if I'm somewhat annoyed.
 
Every once in a long while I'll say "No problem." but I was taught to use 'You're welcome." and it's well entrenched into me. Plus it's a defining part of being Canadian, like opening doors for ladies and not cutting into lines.^_^

I once was told that "No problemo." is racist.😀
