Why do they say that’s tight instead of that’s cool

Or, I did something for you, but it wasn't an issue or an inconvenience whatsoever?

Old people are the worst.

In terms of etiquette, of course is considered more polite than you're welcome

Isn’t “no problem” also considered less polite as well?

I don’t think that is new or a millennial thing.

Because it actually makes sense to say.

Why do people take a couple of instances and make it a group wide norm?

It makes plenty of sense


No it doesn’t

Just because there’s a few retards that seem to think that’s what’s implied doesn’t make that true. Same reason it’s ridiculous to think that “of course” is wrong

I'm not a millennial and I hate saying you're welcome. Pretty much always go with no problem.

I have accepted the fact that I am the reason America needs to be made great again.

I'm just saying I get the reasoning behind it when old people throw a fit


I've actually made a conscious effort to stop saying "no problem", even though it doesn't bother me specifically.

Because "you're welcome" sounds lame, like something an old boomer would say.

I'm a millennial, so I'm going to do the opposite and stop saying "you're welcome" completely just to trigger old butt hurt people.

Perhaps it has something to do with climate change or gender fluidity.

Are you slow?

"no problem", while perfectly acceptable, has a less egregious reason for frustrating people than "of course", even if both are egregious.

Be my guest.

Unfortunately I rely heavily on boomers to make a living, even butt hurt boomers.

The hell are you talking about?

How old are these people you are talking about? I don't know anyone born from 81-95 that says that.

I've gotten a number of "cheers" lately. It just doesn't sound quite right coming from someone without a UK or Aussie accent.

I’m slow because you’re too stupid to understand that people getting upset over either one is ridiculous?
