No problem instead of you're welcome annoys me. There wasn't a problem in the first place and if there was it wasn't my problem.

I say no problem. The reason is because the other person acts like something may have been an issue or they've put me out in some way and I don't feel they have so I say "no problem" because it wasn't an issue. I suppose to reassure them it was fine to ask and in the hope that they won't feel bad asking again in the future.

"You're welcome" can be taken as you're just being polite but maybe didn't really want to do it or that this one time is fine, but don't ask again. Course, it may be that you feel that way in which case "you're welcome" is a much better response lol.

In which case, I would probably say "you're welcome, any time "

Anyone over the age of about 12 that says 'bff' annoys me so much. And the whole 'date night' thing for again, anyone over an age that should know better, or had been in a serious relationship for a good amount of time.

I've replied with "no problem" and I'm sure I've replied with "anytime". Not sure I've ever said "you're welcome, any time", although I might have done. It takes longer to write though

I often feel rather awkward in them situations though, especially if people keep thanking me over and over. I guess just saying "no problem" is also my way of saying "stop thanking me, I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't happy to, it's fine. Moving on!" rather than "you're welcome, glad I could help out, anytime, I know it meant a lot to you and you really are welcome" because that can cause the situation to continue and I don't want that lol.

I mean, it's nice to know people are grateful and that they thank you and all, but once is enough. I don't like to stand there awkwardly, attempting to keep smiling while they go on and on, constantly thanking me.

Although I guess for words that annoy me, I can add constant use of thanks/thank you to the list :rotfl:

I only ever say 'you're welcome' to someone when they thank me if I really mean it.

I say it quite often when someone thanks me for a gift I've given to them.

According to this link, it seems to be a term that could get you into trouble if someone takes it the wrong way:

Should be bff, sorry, typo changed now!

It's 'best friend forever' It just bugs me. Never heard of the other version before! Now when people put that on facebook I'm just going to think of that and it will make me laugh, haha.

Apparently it's just a variation of BFF.
