    “No worries.” is the international signal for “I’m definitely not doing that, but I want you to feel guilty asking.” Hate it. Say what you mean or don’t say anything at all.

    If a coworker answers “No worries” to a request, assume you’re gonna chase them later. If a stranger says it after breaking something, brace for passive-aggression. It’s not reassuring, it’s the softest form of betrayal.

      I don’t know anyone who uses it like that. No worries is either like “you’re welcome” or used for accepting an apology where I’m from.
