Ahhh me too!!! My husband actually says it all the time, and I say the same thing... It just sounds like the person saying it thinks they really have done so much.
"No problem" is just as bad. Who said there was a problem?
I think that both of those, specifically "no problem" address the idea that when you thank someone, you typically are being gratuitous to their inconveniencing them self in order to assist you. Therefore, they say "no problem" as in "it's not a big deal, it was not problem, i was glad to help"
just my two cents
I also see this as a correct response when someone is apologizing for something. "I'm sorry the report is late." "No problem" means, it was not a problem that the report was late. Or "no worries" means, that you do not have to worry that the report was late.

Writers calling another writer's work "transgressive." Stop already with the unecessary $10 words.

"Standing on line" instead of "standing in line" -- when did we recolonize to Mother Britain?

I can't stand when people say "6 A.M. in the morning" as if "A.M. doesn't already indicate that it's " in the morning".

FWIW.
We can all agree.
