Life is way too short for me to worry about people who are offended by "no problem." Though in practice I tend to say "no worries" which I think I picked up from my Australian co-workers.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because books.
I'm offended by the number of people who take offense at ridiculous things. Relax, everybody. And leave Sophia alone!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
You know what will give you a heart attack on a Tuesday morning? Finding a bunch of tickets that were supposedly in QA suddenly moved to Unscheduled. Not a single comment to explain why. Grrrr.

OMG, I think I have a fever. I CANNOT be getting sick again. I am still a little hoarse from the last cold...it's been weeks. Also, I am supposed to visit the family for Easter, and I really shouldn't be around my dad is I am sick.
It would explain why I was so dog-tired last night.

Hoover vacuum cleaners is removing all ads from ABC after announcement that soaps will be canceled. They are not happy.

Always Anti-fascist!
You can say anything and make it sound/seem offensive. Conversely, I fully intend to greet Hayden in the flesh one day by calling him a cocksucker...however, in the context of our one relationship, I hope he receives that as a sign of warm affection.If I'm also introduced to his in-laws that same day, that's a little more of a gamble.(I'm sure Charlie Eppes had a chart about this at some point.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I've heard non-Americans comment that Americans never say "you're welcome". Which, aside from the exaggeration, gets a big so what from me. To take it as rude pretty much requires deliberately ignoring the intent - which I'd say is far ruder than brushing off thanks.
