I say "whatevs" just to annoy my teenagers.
Sometimes you just have to.

I also hate, hate, hate the other word for "passing gas" that starts w/ "f". I can't even type it I hate it so much. LOL!
I hate these, too. I also hate appies, sammies, Cindy's, Gaspies, etc. It all sounds like baby talk to me.ressie

You do you
I freely admit to using Baby Daddy, but only in limited circumstances. For instance, I have a youngish relative who managed to get pregnant as a teen by a guy she barely knew and while she kept the baby, they never even made any pretense that there was a relationship. As far as I can tell, he has little to do with the child, who is now several years into elementary school. As an infant, he would on rare occasions bring by a pack of diapers, which I'm pretty sure his mother badgered him to do. Child support? Forget it. Visitation? Nope. He was only the teeeeeeeeniest bit different than a sperm donor. He falls into Baby Daddy category. To even call him her father gives him way too much credit.
The response 'no problem' to my 'thank you'. But I try to remind myself that this is mostly just a generational difference and the person (always much younger) means no disrespect. At least I hope this is the case.
A retail person that I asked for help, who didn't/couldn't help me, then saying "Is there anything ELSE I can help you with?" They probably have a script they are required to follow, but grr.
Note to self, start saying "you're welcome" to old people! "No problem" isn't meant to be disrespectful, it is just less "stuffy" in my mind.
I have had several jobs where I was required to ask this and other things. Annoying perhaps, but polite. My bosses loved my secret shopper scores though!
