No Problem Vs You're Welcome

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP

One for the linguists but I've just learned that they can't be used interchangeably.

Apparently "You’re welcome” works best when someone has asked us to do something that might cause a bit of a problem. For instance, if we’re busy working, but we stop to help them. “No problem” works best when no problem was caused due to our choice to help someone else.

I've always used "no worries" almost as a catch all term but do you think it makes a difference or do you use one or the other?

You’re over thinking this.

I use no worries also, I think it adds an element of friendliness, rather than being too formal

What about the passive aggressive "you're welcome" when you hold the door for someone and they don't acknowledge you?

A friendly "off you fuck" solves this.

I throw in the odd “No dramas” to mix it up a bit.

So for example …

Them: sorry, we’re not interested

Me: no dramas

I am very sorry to say but I have done this a couple of times if they are particularly 'ignorant'. Oops

Oh God. Another thing for me to overthink now.

I just hope that I've never got it wrong!

I use no problem when someone asks something from me. I save the you're welcome for when someone hasn't actually said thank you.

At work my default is "2 sugars"

Outside of work it's "you are welcome". If they don't say thanks I walk off muttering "cunt" under my breath....

When someone thanks me for doing something for them I just say, ‘That’s ok, I’ll itemise it all in the bill ’.

I use ‘You’re welcome’, ‘coolio’ and ‘as you wish’ depending how well I know the person I’m interacting with.

That's an interesting post OP.

I baulk at the "no worries" remark and never use it myself. It has no substance and carries no meaning. At least, I don't understand it.

When I hear "no worries" it's reminiscent of an antipodean throwaway comment.

I always say you're welcome if I done something that someone asked help with. I say no worries if the person said they can't do something for me.
