You're welcome, no problem, or my pleasure?

'Sure', or 'No problem.'

I also use 'you're welcome' SUPER passive aggressively when people don't say 'thank you.' If I hold the door open for a stranger, and you don't say 'thanks' or something equivalent, expect me to hurl the hardest, most bitter 'You're welcome' that I can muster at the back of your head. And then when you turn around, expect it again to your face.
 
huhn, guess I'm a bit weird.

I usually say "word", "yup, definitely", or the more standard "sure"... or "mmm" if I'm bitter about it.

"Word" is sort of meant to sound silly though.

For apologies I usually say, "you're good".
 
I generally go with "no problem" or "no prob".

"You're welcome" for more formal occasions or little kids.

I don't ever go with "my pleasure".

S'alrigh'
I'll be sure never to say anything that could be construed as requiring such a response if we ever meet.

I feel like I'm mentally scratching fingernails against a chalk board when I sound that out in my head.

I'm imagining an increase in pitch when the igh' comes. I think that's the worst part.
 
any time.

I tend to say 'Safe', which is a British synonym for cool.

I should probably stop saying that.

I'm afraid to inform you that 'Safe' has not been used for a good 6 years anywhere South of London. It's just plain chavvy to be honest.

I tend to say one of:

"No problem"
"No worries"
"That's ok"
"That's alright"
"Don't worry about it"

And a bunch of others I tend to use as well that I can't quite remember right now. I like to change my responses around at times, using the same responses each time can get quite tedious and boring.
 
No problem the vast majority of the time, you're welcome in more formal situations or if I wanna be nice, and never my pleasure. never.

Others:

yeah, sure
don't worry about it
yeah/yep
*silence*
 
I use them all in rotation. My cheery and helpful disposition is a full spectrum assault of politeness and platitudes.
 
"my pleasure" to me denotes me doing something really really good to someone and genuinely getting enjoyment out of it. Like going out of my way to give someone nice a ride to where they need to go, and we have a good conversation on the way.
 
Depends on a few variables such as setting, what actually occurred, sex of person, and their age. But usually I default to a cheerful "no problem".
 
Usually respond with "No worries" or "No problem"

If they are thanking me for something I really didn't want to do I'll generally say "Yep" or "OK"
 
"You bet." It makes no sense now that I think about it. Usually use "no problem" Or "yup" in less formal situations. "My pleasure" and "glad to help" seem the most universally friendly.
 
"Yup" is one I often use, just to downplay the need for gratitude

"Sure thing"

"You're very welcome"

"No prob" makes me look kewl

Yeah this. Sounds like it should be said with a wink.

"My pleasure!"



I mostly say np, as in "Doing this was not a problem for me but I would not have done it if you hadn't ask me to. Dickhead."
 
I usually just say "no problem" or "sure". When I say "you're welcome", it seems to come out sarcastically (even though I don't mean it to).
 
When in public and speaking with people I don't know, I Nod.

When in the presence of family I use "You're Welcome."

When nervous and speaking with one I don't know I reply "Yep." Then attempt to close conversation and move away as soon as possible.

Mostly, "You're welcome," if it's a female and, "No problem," if it's a male.
Just curious, why would you distinguish like this? You're female yourself, aren't you...? I'm curious to know what you would say the difference in tone of the two terms is.
 
I had a teacher my senior year tell us how saying "no problem" is offensive as it insinuates saying that it could have been a problem.

I say You're welcome and no problem though.
 
You're not welcome, it was a problem, and it definitely was not my pleasure.
