What usually trips people up
- Confusing 没问题 with 没关系 — 没问题 agrees to a request; 没关系 forgives a mistake, and swapping them makes you accept apologies you meant to wave off.
- Using it to answer a request you cannot actually do — the phrase is a real commitment here, so check feasibility first and fall back on 我试试 (let me try) when unsure.
- Saying it flatly with a straight face — the phrase carries warmth, and with a smile it lands as easygoing rather than grudging.

- 麻烦你了！Máfan nǐ le!Sorry for the trouble!
