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

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

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

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

What is the nastiest thing you had your wife do and she loved it?

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

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

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Can you describe what it's like to live in a town known for Harley Davidson motorcycles?

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