"No Problem"
I'd love another beer when you have time. No problem.
Do you have these in a 9? No problem. Let me check. May I have more ketchup please? Sure, no problem Thanks--can I have a bag? No problem. Can you please check to see if you have a window seat? Sure, no problem. I WOULD HOPE IT WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. I'M THE DAMN CUSTOMER...IT SHOULD NEVER BE A PROBLEM. I HATE THAT RESPONSE TO MY QUESTIONS. What happened to ... You got it Let me check Sure You bet Sure, let's see... Can you tell I deal with clients all day? Rant over. If you don't agree with me, no problem. Christian.

I think I'm ok now. The in-laws are gone, I have the the next four days off. I'm going out to lunch tomorrow with my 3 year old, I'll be totally relaxed. When I ask if she can have milk and the server says "No problem", I'll smile and give them a 20% tip.

What?

I agree, it drives me crazy too! We were out to eat tonight and the waiter took our order and said "Not a problem." Then he messed up our order and I asked for the correct order and he said "Not a problem". He said it 6-7 times during the evening. It should not be a problem because it is what he gets paid for. What is wrong with "Thank you" or "You are welcome"?

You're right. I sound like an old man. Farmer is my rock. She'd play fetch all day if it were up to her. What a lug!
 Terrible gas after the Godivas. Other than that, she's great.

The "No problem" thing is one of my pet peeves too. Drives me nuts.

Semper drive!

There was a thread here recently referring to the over-usage of the term, "How's it going?" ARGHHHHHH, I hate that! I feel your pain with "No problem".
A local radio host had a great comeback to a caller that asked him, "How's it going??" He replied with, "Pretty good! How's it coming back?" It was a classic!!! Randy

After the last thread about using these terms I caught myself saying"no problem" in response to a customer. Egads!!!! I am one of those people!!!
Great, now I have something else to be self-conscious about.

How about this? How many times a day do you hear some kid talking to their mother or father that would at the least landed a bar of soap in your mouth.
or, when was the last time you were anywhere, asked an employee a question and the response was either, "Yes, sir" or "No, sir" Try living in the South(anywhere in the South) for a while and then move to California, it is astounding how rude Californians have become
