    my mom just told me that most people find saying "no problem" instead of "you're welcome" to be rude/sound assholish
    apparently it connotes dismissal of the other person and, like, denies their thanks


    i legitimately had no idea of this, i thought it was just a synonym of "you're welcome" with the benefit of not sounding as formal


    oh god i've been saying it for 2+ years both as a wcrpg geneticist and irl


    i apologize to anyone i may have unwittingly offended.


    (mods if this is in the wrong board please move it, i just put it the first place i could think of)

    like most of my social skills come from over here so I learned from example and ,most people around me say no problem or something

    Marshy!

    I do the exact opposite. I only say you're welcome when the task was annoying, and/or I didn't want to do it.

    I know, this is what I've been doing since forever. And to find out now that people have probably been interpreting me backwards...

    [justify]I think I only ever say no problem to those that don't find it rude and/or understand the slang definition behind it.


    Like, I have said no problem to my friends and sometimes my parents, but never would I say it to my grandparents or people I don't know very well. I just kind of assumed they would take that offensively, so I always tried to avoid using it with those specific groups.[/justify]

    I always say "No prob", but no one seemed to take it rudely.
    i'll continue saying it, though
