Well, I usually say "np" but now that I think about it, I might start saying "YW" instead. So, umm, it's not ok.

I hate when people say np then. NOT OKAY.

It does not matter. I either say it after I have helped or gave something to someone.

np is only appropriate if someone asks a question like "where is varrock?"

 

 

 

anything else, it should be yw.

------------P1: hey nice whip.

 

 

 

really, why say its nice?! its the same all over! it doesnt differ from any other whip, and alot of people have them!

 

 

 

------------P2:...ty...

 

 

 

well really, what are you gonna say? not a straight 'THANK YOU!' because well... its not really a compliment since its the same all accross the board with them, and you dont just walk away... because well maby they never saw one before...?

 

 

 

-----------P1: np

 

 

 

well now what... i mean its like they are waiting for something... like there complimenting that you actually talked back for them complementing to you about your whip...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well im not saying its good...

-yes with the weird letters, it makes it look cooler :P-

I will go as far as..... it depends on the situation.

 

 

 

Are they saying thanks because you just helped them? or was it a balanced trade?

the correct answer is

 

YW

 

as in

 

YOU'RE WELCOME

It depends on the situation, so I would have to say Doesn't matter.

It just sounds wrong whenever I see it.

 

 

 

So, no, it's not okay I guess.

 

 

 

Most people are missing the point here - they're talking about when someone compliments you, you say 'ty' and then they say 'np'. It's just awkward.

i don't care,it's a reply to thanks and it's polite from the other side so i see nothing wrong with it

Err I don't see what's so bad about saying No Problem?

 

 

 

I say it quite often as it is polite so I don't really get what's wrong with it.

uhh... i dont see why it wouldn't be

its polite to reply from some1 if they say ty or thank you with no proble or your welcome or np/yw its just common sence

no its not -.-

 

 

 

unless the person asked you to compliment them, otherwise it's just stupid.

Doesn't matter to me...I usually say "ty" though. "np" is if I give something away for free sometimes.

the correct answer is

 

YW

 

as in

 

YOU'RE WELCOME

 

+1

 

thats what i always use \

not if you're just paying a compliment, but if you give information (and i know this isn't what he asked) then you can say "np".

NO! I hate when they say that and it annoys the hell outta me. :evil:

it isnt realy rude, but silver has right yw is the correct reply

it isnt realy rude, but silver has right yw is the correct reply

is there a difference?

yeah :XD:

honestly.. if I said "NP" to somebody and they got offended, I probably wouldn't want to be around them anyways :P

It all really depends on the position of the planets and molecular structure and uhhh cheese. Honestly I don't care, I say NP if they say TY. Habit.

No it's not, absolutely not.

 

 

 

If in rl by example you say

 

 

 

'I like your hair'

 

'Ty'

 

'No problem'

 

 

 

Wtf? Its an answer of as if you just did the person a favour by complimenting them, it's flattering yourself. It's just dumb.

 

 

 

Listen carefully everyone, don't do that, people DON'T like it.

That's ^^^^ pretty much how I felt in the other thread, minus a few words..

 

 

 

I hate it when this happens:

 

 

 

P1) Nice Cooking Level.

 

Me) Ty

 

P1) Np

 

 

 

I hate that for some reason! :wall:

 

You hate it because you thanked them for something trivial and simple- congratulating you on a number in a computer game. The phrase "no problem" is used when something is a problem or a burden, but is done in the hopes of aiding another. The phrase is used to set the mind of the helped person at ease, so as not to feel as if they're being bothersome by asking for or just receiving unrequested aid.

 

 

 

Basically, just saying "Nice X level" doesn't give one the right to say "no problem", because it is already self-evident that it isn't a problem. Ya, I hate it too. It's like they want a medal for congratulating you or something.

 

 

 

That, is the third most annoying thing in the whole of Runescape (1. Autoers, 2. Scammers).

 

 

 

The amount of times I've been playing and have suddenly sworn out loud in.. sheer disgust that the other player is such a... *calms down*

 

Damnit!! It's not like I've benifited in any way from some [developmentally delayed] [puncture] of a backward American complimenting me!

 

Okay, I think this is actualy above scammers in my most annoying list. -.-
