Funny ways to say no worries

When someone says sorry for something small, a plain "no worries" can sound a bit flat. Here are 15 funny ways to say no worries or no problem, for texts and friends, a few dramatic declarations, mock-official ones from the Department of Doubt, and simple kind ones that always work.

For texts and friends

• "No worries. On a scale of one to ten, this is a gentle zero." Barely on the scale.
• "Honestly, no worries. My worries are busy elsewhere and cannot make it." They send their regards.
• "No worries. I have filed it under things that do not matter, which is a very big file." Room for plenty more.
• "No worries at all. Consider it un-happened." Officially rewound.

Dramatic declarations

• "I searched every pocket for a problem. I found a receipt and some fluff, but no problem." Thorough, and kind.
• "Worry about it? I would not even give it a quick think." Not even a small one.
• "This is so fine it has gone all the way round to being great." Full circle of fine.
• "Nothing to apologise for. If anything, you have made my day more interesting." Turns a slip into a story.

Mock official

• "The Department of Doubt was asked whether this is a problem. It does not think so." A ruling everyone enjoyed.
• "Notice: your small mishap has been reviewed and stamped "totally fine"." Sounds like a form. Reads like a pat on the back.
• "Form 132 confirms that there are zero worries on file, and the drawer has been closed." Nothing left to sort.

Simple and kind

• "No worries at all!" Always works.
• "All good, don't worry about it." Short and warm.
• "It's totally fine, honestly." Reassuring, for anyone.
• "No problem, these things happen." Kind and true.

Keep it light

1. Mean it. Only say no worries when it really is fine; otherwise say what would help.
2. Match the size. A small slip gets a small joke. For something bigger, a warm plain reply is kinder.
3. Let it go. Once you have said no worries, do not bring it up again later.
