First they’re killing Sears and Applebees, then they reduced everything to microtransactions and working ‘gig economy’ jobs, now they’re killing “you’re welcome”?! Where will those dastardly Millennials draw the line!
Can confirm, am Millennial. I can count the number of times I’ve accidentally said “you’re welcome” genuinely, and every single time I felt completely sick to my stomach. I then had to apologize to the other party since I saw the look of hurt in their eyes.
O.o This is a thing beyond just me? Crap, do Millenials have a hive mind? Because I think I might have accidently injected this preference into the hive mind (if it exists) years ago when I discovered that “You’re welcome” is short for “You are welcome to ask again.” I helped you because I wanted to (probably because it wasn’t a problem for me at the moment). In the future that may not hold, so I am not giving you free reign to ask again whenever you like!
I dunno. I’m early Gen X and I’ve been using “no problem” for as long as I can remember. I will occasionally use “you’re welcome” – generally if it was a more serious favor rather than something trivial.
I’m gen Y (I don’t use “millennial” because the term makes more sense applied to the generation after me) and use “you’re welcome,” but that’s because I’m old school.
I also work an industry where I tend to come in contact with people older than me, which only reinforces that tendency, and where giving a professional impression can be important. I just wish they didn’t expect me to solve all their computer problems.
“Glad to help” is what I use if I want to show enthusiasm. “You’re welcome” is the formal default. “No problem” feels less formal to me and while I may use it sometimes, I don’t use it as much. But I do sometimes say “On porblem” because mangling letter order deliberately is a fun exercise and that one sounds funnier.
Walky – Welky let me guess but David’s nickname growing up was Wilky as in David “Wilky” Willis – that would explain shortening Walkerton to Walky – Welcome to Welky – Willis to Wilky
Holy crap i had an armada scavenger! …By that i mean it’s tattered
well loved corpse was passed down to me after my brothers had destroyed it over the course of a few years. Glad to finally know what it was called though.

Are they even usable after that?
Moana would be a very different movie if the Rock sang “Yer Welky”.
What can I say except yer welky!
Nah, nah, dude.
You’re Walky.
Get it straight, David.
Nah, he said that Joe is this “Welky” person.
Walky and Welky.
As long as Joe does not change his name to “Lawrence,” I have no issues with this joke. 😀
Yer Willy.
No tag for random Mike in the background?
I can’t wake her up.
Aah. That hurts
We thank you, Lord, for this bounty of food before us.
Mike and I are off to the pub
Your sorry rear!
That’s not actually Mike, but a cardboard cutout.
Speaking of Mike…
So you’re out of school?
Hi, Mike! Want to help?
Different
A mommy, daddy, and their 2.5 children
Remember, Big Boss wants him alive.
We’re dating?!
You wouldn’t DARE
Have a seat?
Why why WHY
One incentive
No, it’s a green-screen projection. After yesterday’s infinite white void, we decided to upgrade the background technology.
For today only.
I don’t think “yer welky” is coming back, especially since most of the Millennial generation prefer to say “no problem” instead of “your welcome” anyway.

Speaking as someone born in 1989.
Are they lubed and slippery?

Heh.. Lets see how long that lasts before your beloved wife is like “It was cute Hon… Now stop…” 😉
I really thought that was an Alternators box.
Didn’t see the scoopy scoop in the box detail
It’s Welky!
