That’s not technically redundant. Redundancy assumes there’s been a previous iteration that is duplicated. Telling a mime to shut up is, as DR2000 states, superfluous, but not repetitive since there’s not an apparent previous command. In the end, it’s simply unnecessary and a waste of breath. I’ll bet his teacher knows better.
Saying “no problem” is lacking in self-respect because the speaker is assuming a subordinate status to who is thanking him/her and that the speaker must prostate him/her self before the superior being. Keep your self-respect! Accept a compliment as if you are equal! This goes especially when addressing bosses.
