People who don't say You're Welcome

[jimmytavino 16]

... prompted by shahs' post.....

whenever i see a TV interview,,,, be it a news broadcast, or a sports interview, or anything
of that sort.... when it is finished, the anchor person, or the interviewer or whatever, often says to the 'guest'...
" thank You",, and 98 times out of 100 the guest replies,,, " thank you"!!!....
instead of saying "you're welcome".....
which seems to me,, to be the correct response....
hahahaha..
that's been bugging me for a while.....
watch the news,, and you'll see what i mean...

any comments???

It depends on the intent.

If they are acknowledging the reporters thank you and saying they appreciate it then they should in fact be saying your welcome.

However, many guests are appreciative not of the thanks, but appreciate the opportunity to be on the show. If this is the case then saying thank you is appropriate.

I'm can't stand it when I thank someone and they reply with, "No problem."

That's one that grates my last nerve. I sometimes reply with a smile, "I'm so glad it wasn't a burden! Have a nice day"

Always be kinder than you feel.

That's actually common in quite a number of languages.

Pretty common here in the south, AFAIK, even I say it sometimes.

Often I say "no worries" just to change it up a bit.

I say "no worries" regularly but I had no idea the "no problem" thing was common in other languages. I guess you learn something new every day.

Maybe it's just me, but don't you hear the "no problem" exchange between two men more than anything else?

My husband always says "no worries" instead of "you're welcome" (typical from Australia). I say it every once in a while too, but for some reason it doesn't sound right coming from me.

But sometimes it seems appropriate to respond to a "thank you" with a "thank you."

[jimmytavino 16]

any reply is fine if it is said with a smile...
remember though ,, i'm talking about TV interviews... not general day to day exchanges among people....Those would be as varied, as there are people///

On Tv,,, and in the news it's Bad enough to have to deal with the time delay factor, in some interviews....it also bugs me when the person is cut off, and after all the BS to set up for the interview, get the person into the studio,, OR set up a 'remote studio"" offsite... cue the cameras , signal the tech staff... have a bunch of behind the scenes folks, wearing headsets and talking into a mic,,,,, !!! then after 30 or 45 Seconds!!!!
They cut the person off... with " we gotta go to commercial !!!"... hahahah

if it were me,,, i'd say " you're welcome....Thanks for having me".....don't bother me again!!!!

no real issue and i only posted about it .. cause of shah's thread...and cause i've noticed it, alot lately...

thank you...

Well that's just being a cow, "No Problem" is just as acceptable as any other polite response.

If someone replied with your response I'd counter with "Go fuck yourself"

I'll try this again...seems someone found my last post objectionable




If you replied to me with that sort of attitude for me saying politely "no Problem"

I would tell you to go fuck yourself.



A polite reply from someone should not be greeted with factitiousness such as you would display

I think I would also say "go fuck yourself", up until the point that I was unsure of the intent. One person might just be trying to be quick and witty and another is actually disgusted with your response. Either way I would probably still find the response somewhat comical.

I do still think "no problem" is a male/male thing though. The more I think about it, the more I realize that I can't recall an event that I've said it to a female.

Just earlier tonight I took some beer to a male friends house that is going out of his way to help me learn something. As I was leaving, he said "thanks for the beer" and I said "no problem man". He didn't seem to have an issue with my response.

And if Shah is reading this thread ... I really wouldn't have given a fuck if he didn't say thanks. I still would have felt that my nice gesture was appreciated.

I can't stand it when someone greets me with "how are you?". I feel like going into a five minute monologue about my projectile diarrhea and having to have the corns scraped off my feet.

I just about always reply to a "thank you" with "no worries". I have no idea where I picked it up, I'm Canadian.

Dammit ... I wish I was Canadian. You guys are much nicer than us United States citizens.

You've never driven in Toronto rush hour traffic, it's just lucky we don't all tend carry guns or the murder rate would be much higher.

I don't know ... Road Rage homicide isn't an everyday happening in the US and we have a shit load of traffic in some areas.

Is that the Canadian secret? Much more difficult to legally carry a firearm?

I still think you guys are way more polite and considerate of others.
