Why does the phrase "no problem" piss off older generations so much?

Does it?

Never seen that happen.

>>8112136
yes it really does. At least in the south where I live

I live in the south and this is literally all I say when someone thanks me. I haven't had any old people get pissy about it, and I associate with a lot of old folks being a church member.

Probably because it implies that a. If it was a problem you wouldn't have done it b. You are dismissing their thanks or c. Because its a very easy going lax attitude towards everything. Especially c because older generations tend to feel younger generations take everything for granted while feeling like they have it all under control

What parts? I'm from PA so not the south but I'm curious because I work labor, all my bosses are older and it's my go to response because it seems the least likely to be passive aggressive
>>
>>8112157
fine, well I've been bitch at multiply times for it and here old people are always lecturing about how rude it is
>>
>>8112171
