Depends on the situation.

"You're welcome" will do much of the time.

"No problem" if it's a matter of a minor inconvenience on my part.

"It's my pleasure" or "you're very welcome" if I am providing a (typically paid) service to someone.

[Chazmatazz269]

Depends upon the scenario more often than not. My current favorite when the “thank you” is so out of place that i can’t think of an appropriate response is “cheese be with you”. 😂😂😂😂
My typical responses are “you’re welcome”, “no problem” or “happy to help”.

[ElenaLena]

It depends.. I use different phrases with different people and situations..

I always reply tho.. I might say “you bet” and “of course” plus what you mentioned..

with my closest friends I use “awww” sometimes 😄

[midnightmoon05]

sometimes I say, "you are most welcome"."anytime". "you are too kind"

if they know other languages, I would try to say it in their language.

[OlderAndWiser]

Sometimes, I might say, "No thanks needed You earned my respect."

[BadApple69]

You didn’t have the one I say the most!


When someone at work says thank you my response is always “go screw yourself”.
I have a reputation I need to keep up at work. Saying anything else would ruin my reputation.

@BadApple69 You probably know this...

The Osmonds, led by Donny, sang "One Bad Apple don't spoil the whole bunch" a long time ago.

[BadApple69]

Actually didn’t know that. Now I have a theme song! Thanks tom.

[Bricealan]

@AviatorTom The contemporary answer is "no problem" - which is south of being a moron or possibly and idiot or maybe an imbecil.

Of course the proper answer is You're welcome' or 'You are very welcome', depending on what the person is thanking you for.

[Iyaelsorai]

When I respond to thank you, it's usually something trivial like stepping aside for someone to get by or something, and I find "You're welcome" to be a bit overdone for that, so "No problem" is my go-to response. Other people's experiences may be different, but it points to the fact that the best response probably depends on the scenario..

[loveslongnails]

Great question, Tom! I use many different things to a thank you, depending on who, what, when, and where. It's always safe and appropriate to say "you're welcome" in any situation. However, sometimes I'll say " merci a' vouz" which is the same as "Thank you to YOU!". Other times I might say " my pleasure". If I'm talking to a Spanish speaker, the answer "De nada" literally means "it's nothing".

[OneViewpoint]

I usually say, "Well, I didn't think you'd figure it out own your own."

Or in the case of a woman thanking me for a compliment. "You look like you don't get many compliments and you could use one."

[DishLady]

Depends on who the other person is. To an elder "You're welcome" or "My pleasure; to a peer, "NP" or "Of course".

[Billlewis]

I sometimes respond with, 'It ain't no thang but a chicken wang'

[Ill_made_Knight]

All depends... I might say happy to help, maybe de nada... mix it up y'all

[RavVid]

I like the North American "you're Welcome"

[xawyx-3]

Usually "you're welcome", or "no problem".

[FunkyMonkee]

I usually say, "No problem! (That'll be $10.00.)"

[exitseven]

I usually say your welcome bit sometimes to my friends I say "No Charge"

[loveyouoak]

Isn't it "you're welcome"? By the way, the picture is very cute, it reminds me of my cover photo. 🥰

[AgentG111]

Depends on the situation and if they are sincere or not.
