What is an appropriate response to someone saying "merci" in French?

We say “Pas de problème” (No problem) in casual responses.

We say “Je vous en prie" (You’re welcome) in formal responses

When someone says “merci” we says

How rough can the ferry passage from Hull to Rotterdam be in the autumn ( at the end of October )?

We say "De rien" (It’s nothing) in casual responses.

We say "Avec plaisir" (With pleasure) in formal responses

We say “Il n’y a pas de quoi" (Don’t mention it) in casual responses.

You hold the door open for a lady and she stops in her tracks and screams at you, ‘Don’t hold the door for me! I’ll get it myself!’ What are your feelings or immediate reaction?
