I said this to someone about if they didn't manage to get a price of work done : " do x, y and z but don't worry if you don't manage to get z" or "don't worry if you don't get that far"
They said something along the lines of "I won't worry, I don't worry about anything. I'm not worried"
My use of don't worry was really meaning it's not important if they don't get this done.
Surely most people would understand don't worry to mean this and this reply from this person was sarcastic or facetious?
Surely one would just say "yep that fine I'll see how I get on"
So dp going to the shop "don't worry if you can't get the octopus the squid will be fine".
"Don't worry if you can't get me a tiara I'll Make do with a crown? "
