NO PROBLEM

i have a problem with no problem

- i have a peeve, and this is my pet peeve...

way too many people say this way too often

especially people in the service industry

- if you can call it that anymore

they just say it automatically,  for no reason

cuz after all, there is no problem

i say 'thank you', they say 'no problem'

well, you're damn straight there's no problem

it's your job jerk-off, i'm not being mean but

just do your job and bring me my food... now!

and then when there is a problem...

'oh waiter... my soup is cold, - no problem'

doesn't that bother you...

it just bugs the crap outta me, because everybody sez it

to me this is just yet another indication that our society

is headed the way of the oldsmoblie

younger people these days...

(and i'm just saying this because i'm old and cranky)

have no education, conversational skills or training

and they should not work in what we used to call

the service industry

doing my daily tasks and chores has now turned into

a stomach churning exercise as i can just predict...

the level of pride that i see these people take in their jobs

as for me... i'll continue to raise awareness of my pet

i now correct these people, i tell them to say...

'it's my pleasure' or maybe even try ...'you're welcome'

but just don't say 'no problem'

or there will be one
