You're Welcome

I used to work with a woman in Cube City who had old-school manners. Language, and one's proper usage of it, was of utmost importance in her world.

One day, she confided that she really dislikes it when she thanks someone for something and receives a response of, "No problem." She believes that by saying, "No problem," a person is really dehumanizing the act of give and take with the implication that a request for help is really more of a bother.

Obviously, she had a lot of time on her hands to think about this sort of thing.

I will spare you more examples of language that offended her. You really couldn't win in her world unless you'd been born and raised in her reality. No need to thank me for sparing you the details. You're welcome.
