I guess it's generally acceptable as a laid back alternative to "you're welcome" in everyday life.
In a professional setting, however, saying "no problem" translates to "Dude, I'm still just a kid so this is the best way I know how to say you're welcome." So if you ever have a job where you regularly talk to clients that spend a lot of money on your services you'll quickly learn not to say "no problem" when they thank you.
I think you're the first person I've ever heard of who has a problem with "no problem". It must be a regional thing or something because everywhere I've lived "no problem" is completely acceptable in a business setting.
