Me to colleague: Would you please send me that document?

Colleague: Sure - just sent it.

Me: Thank you.

Colleague: No worries!

Another example:

Me to waiter: When you have a chance, I'll take the check.

Waiter: Here it is.

Me: Thank you.

Waiter: No problem!






Yes, "No problem" as a substitute for "You're welcome" is intolerable. I find now that when I respond with "you're welcome" I feel self conscious because it sounds stiff and formal. Why shouldn't we all be having a bonzer day at the Outback Steakhouse with another shrimp on the barbie? No worries, mate!

Potty. Revolting when used by otherwise attractive and intelligent women with their small children. Abhorrent when they continue to use the term past 'tween years and with each other when no children are present.

I hate when people say "again" and then they proceed on to saying something they didn't even say previously. Ie again, the regulations state that blah blah..... You didn't tell me what the regulations state in the first place, so annoying and rude. My hr rep says it all the time...ugh
