“No problem”, when used instead of “You’re welcome.”
What's wrong with it?
How I usually use both, is by situation.
Holding a door for someone: No problem
Helping someone carrying boxes/groceries: You’re welcome

This is just a PC term to rationalize crazy mothers actions. I'm just surprised it hasn't been gotten more
ridiculous and become "Child Guardian Bear".

I always wondered about those too. At first I had no clue what it meant. But onetime someone else
asked another poster what the DH meant. The poster replied DH mean Dear Husband.
But I don't by into that crap. I think those actually have three (four) meanings each.

That's if we're being honest.

C'mon guys, those are just holdovers from leet speek, back when paring down your text because of cost was a concern. Simple acronyms for referring to people without having to spell it out every time. I guess people could have used W, H, D and S but that just looks silly.
That's silly logic. Why does the sentence have to remain the same whether you are referring to yourself and Bobby versus just yourself? If you were to say "Bobby and I hurt ourselves" does that mean without Bobby it would be "I hurt ourselves"?
Seriously? No, you would say, "I hurt myself." Did you ever take an English class?
why not just say hubby? wife? It annoys me too and I'm not sure why, lol I've considered referring to him in terms of endearment but it does sound fake. It's not yet required, so therefore I refer to them in normal terms.
I used to be bothered by "Have a nice day." I've gotten over that one. I'm still kind of bothered by "How are you?" when it's not a real question.
-using "a ton" to mean a lot
-using subject pronouns as objects (especially as objects of prepositions!)
-overuse of "mother" and "grandmother" in news stories and headlines, when being a mother/grandmother has absolutely nothing to do with the story
-bad math: "200% less . . ." (generally not possible), "3 times more" (when it's really three times as much)
-a server at a restaurant asking if I'm doing all right, or how I'm doing
