What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Do you suck dicks with no reciprocation?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

When I buy a house, do I automatically own all items the previous owner failed to remove from the property?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
