Sometimes I respond with "No, thank you". Not very often, though.

I was born in 1968 and I have no problem with "no problem" (HA!).

One of my bosses has a big issue with "no problem". I have heard him complaining after someone had said it to him, "What do they mean by 'No problem'? Do they mean that it wasn't a problem that I said 'Thank you' to them?"

I would seek other employment. Working for someone like that cannot be fun.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I deliberately choose to say "You're welcome" to all thanks.  It's no problem for me to say it vice no problem and it apparently is more acceptable to more people.  Seems like a win-win.
There are 10 types of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Sometimes I just say "Yep." 
My prescience is fully engorged.  It throbs with righteous accuracy.  I am sated.

If I'm just holding a door or something, I do that sometimes.

"My pleasure" much better than "You're welcome."

Oh my god I would never do that. That sounds insanely embarrassing. I would probably go home and cry and make sure to never ever tell people on the internet about it.

Most of you guys sound awkward as hell. "Yep", usually suffices between men.

Sure, you think it does. But how many weirdos like Mrs. Gooch's boss are out there? We don't really know. You probably tell him "yep" and then he goes and bitches to Mrs. Gooch about "What does he mean 'yep'? Does he think I asked him a question or something?"

I'm just picturing all you guys like doing little bows when you open doors or a curtsy and a "my pleasure good sir".

I always like when someone introduces someone else to me. The new person always says that stupid, "Nice ta meet ya." I love one upping the eff right of them with the high and mighty, "it's my pleasure." (or maybe, "The pleasure is all mine." They know right away that I am a boss.
If I am being introduced, I say, "It is my pleasure to meet you." They always fall over for lack of being able to respond to such charm.
