After several foreigners were perturbed by an"mmhmm" response, American TikTokers explained that "you're welcome" actually feels kind of rude.

I was watching a video from two years ago about different social norms and this showed up. Found someone questioning the same eight years ago on reddit (when it seemed less normalized). It feels so weird not being aware of this shift, even as a foreigner.

    We also say “don’t worry about it” in the US, which seems pretty much the same.
