LAME-OH

I was just working with a computer coder on a project online and he was being obtuse and impatient with me. Every note ended with “So are we done?” So to get on the same page, we went into the chat room. At the end, he goes off to work on our project and, I say, “Thanks!” and he says “No worries. Thanks,” Oh thanks. I was worried before that you may be mad at me for not reading and following my crystal clear instructions.

I really want people to stop saying, “No worries.” First of all it makes you sound like a stoner hippie. Second of all it sounds like you’re forgiving me of something that I didn’t apologize for. How about, “My pleasure.” or even “No bother” or “No problem” because when you say things like that, you’re actually speaking for yourself. SHEESH.
