I hear “No problem” far more often.

    Wow. facepalm The words literally say there’s no problem, and yet it somehow implies there is a problem? Talk about overthinking what someone is saying.

    This is why I often hate neurotypical communication styles. The world would be a lot more straightforward if people just said what they meant. Jesus fucking Christ on a motorbike…

      … would be quite a sight to see. Although if He can do all those other miracles, I guess fucking Himself on a motorcycle wouldn’t be impossible. So I guess it’s just a straightforward statement on your part.

      It doesn’t imply that there is a problem. It implies that there would have been a problem, if it hadn’t been generously waived by the “no problem”.

      I’m fairly certain your average neurotypical would not have interpreted it that way. Don’t stereotype us either 😛

      • Yeah, I suppose you’re right. To an extent, anyway. Sorry about that.

        Still, the fact that there even is that interpretation in the first place to a common-enough frequency that it becomes taught at communication classes means that a LARGE, significant number of people have read it that way in the recent past.

          Yeah. I can agree with you, vague and changing communication standards is annoying
