[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I guess I’ll accept it as a no thank you without the “thank you.” If someone offered to bring me coffee or make me a plate or slice me a piece of pie I would say thank you. [/quote]

Wait, you'd say thank you, or you'd say, NO, thank you? Are you mad she's turning you down, or mad about how she's doing it? [/quote]

If I were declining, I’d say no thank you. It signals at least that they were trying to be nice. She makes it sound like I’m worrying, which I am not![/quote]

It's an idiom.  Do you understand idioms?  "Don't worry about it" does not mean "I think you are an over-anxious freak" it means "No, thanks."

Again, YOU are choosing to be offended.  Get over yourself.  Stop looking for offense, and accept that this is a perfectly ordinary expression which is the equivalent of "no, thanks."[/quote]

No, it really isn't.  It is actually rather rude to be offered a cup of coffee and respond with "don't worry about it".  It's vague and doesn't express a shred of politeness.  Were you raised by wolves or are you just naturally rude all the time?[/quote]
