1. "nice car" 2."thx" 1."np" ...wtf

[Ravioli]

have you ever showed something your proud of or something you made with your skills to a friend, and the friend answers something like:

"Nice" "cool" "looks good"

then to show that you appreshiate the comments, you say:

"thx" "thank you" "thanks alot"


but then...all of the sudden, your friend says:

"np" aka "no problem"

WTF??? Whats up with that? If you show something, you want an honest answer from your friend if they like it or not, then they give you the comment, you say "thanks" for the comment...but then they say "no problem" as if they said "looks good" just to make me happy.

Do they take the effort to LIE and say "looks good" to make you feel good, and then say "no problem" for taking that effort...

It feels so FALSE when they say "no problem" when i say thanks to a compliment...you dont say "no problem" when someone thanks you for a compliment, you say only "np" when you have done a favor etc.

Has this occured to you ? I think this is so annoying, then i ask:

"what is no problem?"

and they say

"for sayin your stuff looks good"

...your not suppose to say it looks good as if its a problem thats needs to be solved by making me happy by saying "looks good".


its like saying "your hair looks good today" "thx" "no problem" "huh? no problem? whats the problem?" "your hair"

i mean..WTF?

Idd.

Its even worse when youre in a situation and someone says soemthing funny and you blurt out "rofl lol", and everyone stops and looks at you....

 

[CrazyHarij]

So common to say it that, like many other phrases, it doesn't really make sense but you still use it.

 

[Ren.182]

Someone actually said "Rofl lol" instead of laughing... Oh dear.

I dont mean the shortage of "no problem" i mean the sentence itself, NP=No problem, thats not what im talking about.

thanks for answer though!

 

[BeaverMon]

I know that feeling.

I'm not that sad, that i would take internet terms and use them as actual words in real life. That is really pathetic.

Anyone who replies with something that unenthusiastically is usually bitter or jealous because of what you have, or has no time to talk to you because they have more important things to do rather than be considerate. Don't bother, play your cards close to your chest and don't tell people stuff about you, i don't think i've talked about anything i really own or do, in real life or online. If people ask they are interested. If they tell you about something, they are looking for some kind of recognition for it, like talking about them.

Although in your situation, that person has turned it back on you, trying to make you feel bad. I wouldn't tell them much unless they asked in the future, but make a big effort when they talk to you. They'll realise soon enough how bad they look. It does wind me up people like that too.

Wait...

Its just instinctive, Ive often reached for quick load after spilling something .

Or tried to hit control+z after making a spelling mistake in writing.

i think saying no problem is just a quirk in conversation, it gets awkward when your done talking and sometimes its like "ok must say something before it gets all silent" but i really don't know anything about social matters so w/e.

 

[DizzyOne]

its just a formality why get annoyed by it

would you believe them if they lied and didnt say np?

 

[Sulkdodds]

Isn't it the opposite? Aren't they saying 'no, it's absolutely no problem to say your hair looks great. Because it does. It looks awesome. I love it. And I'm totally gay for you. And it's no problem for me to say that; it's no extension of effort of any kind; no need for me to go out of my way to white lie to please you because all that is, is the cold mother****ing truth.'

 

[Muffin Man]

that could be it too

 

[OvA]

This girl on one of my classes let us listen to a message her drunk boyfriend left on her phone... he was like "I love you!!!" (slurred) "And that's not a JK!"

funny sh!7

 

[OMGjohnConnor]

looks good

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

Er, I say no problem sometimes as thanks when I think about it. But it's not at all what you're thinking, doesn't mean it was said just to be nice. It's like.. the person said thank you and you MUST give a response. "You're welcome" would be insulting.. no problem is the best one, it's just like acknowledging their thanks. It'd be worse to say you're welcome or remain silent.

 

[Da-Muffin-Man]

Someone actually said "Rofl lol" instead of laughing... Oh dear.

Are you saying theres something wrong with me then? ;(

 

[Dalamari]

Wow, your friends compliment you? Anytime I'm with my friends it's nothing but hilarious criticisms thrown back and forth, that is how all men are with their friends

 

[nutcrackr]

I say that all the time

 

[Steven]

Has this occured to you ?

A few times and it diden't really bother me it was just a guy saying "No problem." It diden't piss me off at all.

 

[OMGjohnConnor]

Wtf is "diden't?"

 

[Dog--]

Think about it, whenever someone says "Thanks" and then someone says "No Problem" or "Your Welcome" it's just a sign of courtesy IMO.

 

[Steven]

Wtf is "diden't?"

I'm just shake my head in disappointment.

 

[Danimal]

Just like when you see people on the news being taken to jail, and being crushed by a stampede of press and media.

And what do they ask? "How are you feeling?" What a MORONIC question...

Do they expect them to say:

"I've been busted for smuggling drugs in Bali, in a seedy holding cell and the gaurds are giving me wierd looks. If this court case dosen't go so well i'm going to get hung. I feel FABULOUS!"

Gah... Makes me sick.

 

[Beerdude26]

I'm just shake my head in disappointment.

Woo for drunkenness!

I'm right, am I not?

 

[Steven]

No, I'm just unimpressed with the joke he made, he knew exactly what I was saying.

Or, you get cracked upside the head with a baseball bat, and people ask you if you're all right :|...
IRT OP, it could've easily gone something like...
1: nice car.
2: thanks.
1: **** off.

 

[OvA]

To me no problem and you're welcome both sound like

"It was not hard for me to be nice to you, you shouldn't be so thankful"

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

To me no problem and you're welcome both sound like

"It was not hard for me to be nice to you, you shouldn't be so thankful"

But then what are they supposed to say when you say thank you? It's very uncomfortable if nothing is said, creates (even if just a tiny) moment of silence.

Also sometimes it's a jump to the rest of the conversation.

Nice car!
Thanks.
No problem dude, I saw you fly by in that and man I just had to see who was behind the wheel!"

Are we really discussing this?
