I say 'thank you' and the most common response I get back is 'no problem'.

That makes me want to box their ears.

Why?

I think "no problem" is an acknowledgment of thank you. As is "good," "glad it worked out," "glad I could help," "no worries," etc.

Is it that "no problem" implies it couldn't have been a problem (or something else that may not be right with that exact reply) or is it that "you're welcome" is the only proper response?

Just curious.
