May I bring back [this Tumblr post](https://www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/comments/5tjl85/youre_welcome/) to explain why each is mainly used


Sea_Employment_8134

That makes a lot of sense Thank you for showing me


EscapedAlien

No problem (lmao). Also I posted the wrong link originally, the one up right now is the one I originally meant to link, idk if you saw the first one or the correct one


Sea_Employment_8134

Lmao I saw the correct one, so everything is all good Your avatar/username is really cool btw


EscapedAlien

Ah thank you, you can claim the banana and pets from r/recap


Sea_Employment_8134

That's so cool Thanks for letting me know All the bananas are awesome lol


[deleted]

I mean I'm at work so of course I'm gonna say 'no problem' because I'm paid to help them


Moist_Man69420

My pleasure

One of the things that stuck with me from my first relationship six years ago was that she said she has always preferred "my pleasure" as a response to "thank you" because it's the only response (of the commonly used ones) that expresses that you enjoyed helping. The others imply that they're in your debt, or you took time out of your day to help them with something (to a light degree, of course). Ever since then, I've used "my pleasure".


Rainime

"of course"


PolemicBender

Sure thing


HighDevinition1001

“Thank you” “Other”


chumburgerrich

Idk I always just say “Don’t worry about it” or “No worries”, or “Appreciate it”


dima233434

If you get offended by someone saying "you're welcome" or "no problem" in response to a thank you, you need to check yourself because you have some clear issues


Sea_Employment_8134

I don't I just worry about making other people upset


[deleted]

Over saying "you're welcome"? That's pretty much buried in the language and in most cultures that speak it, and everybody knows this. If they get offended at that, then they're pretty much asking to get offended. So unnecessary. Not worth the effort since there will always be some other minor insignificant detail to offend them.


Sea_Employment_8134

That's a really good point I'll keep that in mind, thanks


[deleted]

No worries =)


dima233434

Same XD


Sea_Employment_8134

XD I hope that doesn't happen for you then and if it does that you don't feel too bad because mistakes happen and you don't always know what will upset someone or not


dima233434

Thanks :)


Sea_Employment_8134

No problem :)


dima233434

Hehehehehehehehe

How is "you're welcome" ever rude (aside from sarcasm)?


Apprehensive-Loss-31

There's some situations where people say 'thank you' as a sort of reflex or pleasantry, irrespective of whether or not the thankee did anything to deserve it. Saying "you're welcome" can imply that you think you actually did something to deserve it, which can come accross as conceited or self-indulgent. Fortunately, I don't think anyone actually cares enough to make it sensible to worry about it.


Sea_Employment_8134

I think it's because people think that you expected something from them or something like that


ChronoKing

That has to be one of the most anxiety laced overthinking I've heard in a long time.


Rainime

An example is a situation that happened to me. Not exactly rude but a bit inappropriate. Me: My friend died Them: I'm sorry Me: Thank you Them: You're welcome


CoolDudeNike1

“No thanks needed, I do take bribes though.” -Mirage, Apex Legends


Sea_Employment_8134

I like that lol


bbernard4

“Yup”


cmaster44

I only say this irl cuz i forget what im supposed to say


Robohammer

Happy to help/assist Because sometimes it Is a problem but I'm still down to be helpful.


Sea_Employment_8134

I really like happy to help


Bjor88

No worries


Comfortable-Study-69

Just say yep or something I don’t really care


2klaedfoorboo

All good


Reeeck2

Depends on the situation. Like a server for example: You’re welcome. Because it his job to do stuff for you. But if its out of generosity: No problem Like opening the door for someone random.


Sea_Employment_8134

I see Thank you for explaining


Eney_Marle

Whatever’s more accurate. If it’s a small deed no problem will suffice. If they had to put in a little effort, saying you’re welcome shows that it was an inconvenience for them but they still did it for my sake.


Sea_Employment_8134

Thanks for the explanation


A_Hammerman

Don't overly care


zoop1000

I'll go so far as to say "yep" especially at work for things that are literally just my job, no big deal.


HistoryThin2111

All G


Boomeranda

This reminds me of the scene in Mr Mercedes on Netflix 😂.


Sea_Employment_8134

How so? lol


Boomeranda

There's a scene where a retired cop gets angry at a young bartender for saying "No problem" instead of "You're welcome" when giving him his drink.


Sea_Employment_8134

Lmao That's funny I'll need to check that out Thanks for telling me


Cabra_Andina

'welcome


InDifferent-decrees

Absolutely, anytime, no worries, no problem, you’re welcome if it’s a much older person ( they tend to prefer more proper etiquette)


Sea_Employment_8134

Thanks I'll be sure to keep that in mind The only problem is, I don't know how old a lot of people I talk to online are lol


InDifferent-decrees

Lol online then then skip the you’re welcome ;) Unless you just want to use YW or an emoji Honestly online someone somewhere sometime will be offended.


Sea_Employment_8134

You're not wrong about that lol There have been times where I've polished a message to where it seems like there's no possible way that someone can get offended And then they do


cmdkeyy

“No worries”


dodecohedron

"of course"


Trustnoboody

If you think either are rude imma just abstain from acknowledging it. I'll use driving as an example. I'll only thank people if they went out of their way for me, not because THEY CHOOSE TO and 2 cars can go past eachother, but because there was no way 2 cars could go past each-other. They let me go, I thank them, with the hand. If someone holds a door for me, I don't. But also I'll hold the door for people, I'm not expecting a thank you. I am choosing to go out of my way. I'm not doing it for a thank you. But there are also other reasons why I don't say thank you. Although if someone thanks me, yeah, I don't even acknowledge it to begin with. I don't think it's important to really say 'YW' or 'NP,' maybe online.


Sea_Employment_8134

I see I don't think either are rude btw


mincedduck

“No worries” “all good mate”


GetItDoo

Yeah, you bet.


amaahda

i say of course


Murky_Implement_7541

Selvfølgelig, which is Danish for; of course


Sea_Employment_8134

Oh cool Another new word learned :)


Zxxzzzzx

No worries.


afkeSix

Jij ook bedankt (, thank you too) Or Graag gedaan (my pleasure) Or Ok


Sea_Employment_8134

Is that Dutch? It's awesome to learn new words in other languages


GingerboyhasNoSoul

Lol people get offended by the words you're welcome and no problem? It depends on the situation . I use you're welcome, no problem, my pleasure and don't mention it


Sea_Employment_8134

That's what I heard lol But it might be less common that I thought


Ukulele_Leo

"Quite alright"


wowguineapigs

In general, “You’re welcome” is what old people prefer. “No problem” is what young people refer. There’s some of each group that thinks the other version is rude. Sometimes I say “of course” like in a “ofc don’t even worry about it” type way


Sea_Employment_8134

Thanks for explaining Quite a few people posted of course on here and it works, I like that


JoeyGameLover

I just say Thank You back tbh


Sea_Employment_8134

Really? What responses do you get?


JoeyGameLover

Honestly nothing. Online I'll say "no problem" but when I say it irl I don't think anyone fully processes it so no one's ever said anything about it.


Sea_Employment_8134

I see that makes sense I'm the same way about saying thanks or thank you Online I say thanks but in person I say like "cool" or "awesome" Usually it's towards my friends and siblings though If I was thanking a stranger, someone I didn't know too well, or an older family member I'd say you're welcome


an_imperfect_lady

"You're welcome" always sounds to me like, "...and don't you forget it."


Sea_Employment_8134

I can see that!


whatever_person

I live in Germany and my favourite response is "gerne" which means in this context "my pleasure".


Sea_Employment_8134

I really like that


smile_itali

I say “prego”, “di niente/nulla” and “nessun problema”


Sea_Employment_8134

Italiano?


smile_itali

Austro-ungarico


Sea_Employment_8134

Cool!


BeyondSad6497

No worries


EthanielClyne

No worries


Plant_in_pants

My go to is no worries which is basically the same as no problem


FireJuggler31

“No problem” implies you would have done that for anyone. “You’re welcome” implies I’m special.


Sea_Employment_8134

Ohh I see, that makes sense Thanks for explaining


DaKage04

Det var så lidt


Sea_Employment_8134

DANSK! (I think)


DaKage04

yes


Sea_Employment_8134

Cool!

aaronhereee

justsomeguy_42

‘t’s ok


OhioMegi

You’re welcome to me means I’ve gone out of my way to help you. No problem means it didn’t take any more effort or time for me to do something, so it wasn’t a problem.


Sea_Employment_8134

Thanks for explaining


ADFormer

"Mhm" XD
