- My bad
- No problem
"No problem". I hear this phrase frequently in the restaurants and stores when I thank someone. I guess it takes the place of "you're welcome". I've caught myself saying it too.
Am I being picky? Do you have a pet peeve phrase or word?

OK, now I'm being picky (apologies in advance). It's you're welcome, not your welcome. Now I can get on with my life. Carry on.
settle down. language is language. as long as you teach your child that they don't speak like that in formal situations, there should be no problem...
sounds like you are being too picky...my bad for saying that?
brad - lol. I usually am so aware of that - another pet peeve. I posted in a hurry!
I'm plead guilty with "no problem." My bad!
My pet peeve is email-related. So many people that I work with sign their emails with "Best," name.
Best what? Are they just too lazy to type "wishes?"
Also, everybody who comes to my office seems to have a "Quick Question." That's how they begin the conversation. "Quick question." I tell them that I only accept long questions to snap them out of it and make them think about what they just said.
Laurie, I get the quick question a lot too and didn't even realize it.
I'm afraid I'm guilty of the no problem and also didn't realize that.
Perhaps I will work harder on choosing my words wisely tomorrow :)
I'm guilty of saying "no problem."
People don't say "cha-ching" much anymore, but that "word" annoyed the heck out of me. I hate "my bad" too.
And lately I'm hearing a lot of people saying stuff like, "Ew, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit" in lieu if "that's gross" (or something like that). What's with that?
Another one: when people say "absolutely" instead of "yes."
OK, I'll quit now. Pregnancy has made me more prone to pet peeves than usual. :)
Oops! I meant "of" and not "if"!
I don't like, "My bad", "It's all good", or "No problem". I can live with them though. The one that really bugs me is, "I could care less". When did that become acceptable? It's "I couldn't care less".
Sigh. Just call me fuddy duddy and move on with your life.
My husband got so annoyed Saturday night about a young waitress saying "No problem!" when he thanked her for a refill. Him: "Why would it be a problem? It's her job isn't it? If it WAS a problem to fill my water glass, she should probably think of another line of work. 'No Problem'!?" Ugh. That one doesn't bother me so much.
I still can't stand the "like" every 3 words. Like you know when like kids are talking and they like can't stop saying 'like'? Like, ya know?
I stop my daughter all the time and say "Wait, wait. Was it LIKE that or *was* it THAT. Because you keep saying 'like' so I'm not sure if you're using simile or just being annoying by saying 'like' every 3 words." I'm such a mean mom. :)
