"No Problem" in response to a Thank You is going to be what causes me to hunker in my bunker (possible album title) and never utilize the service industry again.

You are correct that it was no "problem". It is your job. I was being generous with the "thank you." "My pleasure". "You are welcome". Both acceptable.

"No problem".

Now, see...now it is.

See my sig...

I say "no worries."

1. "I know from past experience." (Is there any other kind?)
2. "In terms of that..." (Why don't you just begin with "That"?)
3. "Hopefully, we'll get that done." (Just get it done however you may feel, OK?)
4. "Chocolate is addicting." (Your English is even more impressing!)

Honestly, ...(everything I said before this qualifier wasn't honest)
That's a very good question, ...(implies all your other questions a terrible)

Isn't that just iced tea?

Yes it is.

However sometimes they need to communicate that they have both prepackaged sweetened brown flat caffeine flavored water, and actual tea (for the picky folks). Not redundant at all, in my opinion.

Soccer only words also kill me. Pitch instead of field. Fit instead of healthy.

I'm not bothered when people from other countries say it, but Americans to an American audience makes me roll my eyes.

Pitch is not soccer only. The name of the playing surface is encoded in the rules of the game, every game, not just soccer. Croquet is played on a court, not a lawn, for example. Cricket is also played on a pitch.

Rugby has a "pitch," too.

I ain't gonna play on no pitch.

I just wish Commonwealth and other countries would call soccer soccer. The English are the ones that came up with the name soccer, not Americans. So let's just call soccer soccer and football football.

You would be laughed at in my office...

Irregardless...

“Can I hang my coat here?”
“Perfect.”
“I’ll have the cheeseburger and fries.”
“Perfect.”
“On second thought, make it onion rings.”
“Perfect.”
“And chicken instead of the burger.”
“Perfect.”

A little later

Here's that chicken, for ya!
“Thank you.”
“No problem.”
“It's a burger!"
"No worries, boss."
"Check, please!"

I can't stand messaging as a gerund. I won't tolerate it.

You mean soccer and gridiron, don't you?

Rudying, now there's a gerund I can get with.

Nope.
