I've got a pet peeve. What ever happened to "you're welcome" when responding to a thank you. "You're welcome" came about around 1900 and is tried and true with no confusion to our illegal aliens regarding meaning.
Oh no, now its "no problem" which surprises me because I didn't realize I was a problem. I then feel very sorry that I might have been a problem. Perhaps I should stop saying "thank you" so I won't be a problem to be dismissed as "no problem."

I prefer people to resond with "I am humbly at your service", when I am gracious enough to thank them. A bow and a kiss on the hand is always appreciated! :)
