    “Could you…” - no that’s way too abrasive

    “Would you…” - that sounds like I’m micromanaging them

    “Would you please…” - now that’s condescending

    “Would you mind terribly if…” - a bit better but still too harsh

    “Just to inform you that I will do the task myself.” - Perfect. Now I just have to not send it.


  • Oh no you missed them! They were here last week. Very nice chaps, they came with cool presents: some beautiful seashells, funny nudibranchs and polished rocks. We had a lot of fun, and they stayed for the evening barbecue. They had to leave early though, to wipe out one third of the country’s population and erase our entire civilisation from history. I couldn’t catch where they live unfortunately - I would have loved to pay them a visit.
