[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, my issue is that despite the please and thank you, it seems like an order, not a request.  But based on your replies I guess I am wrong.[/quote]

Would you rather the person huffed and puffed and then sent a passive aggressive text saying something like "I guess I'll take the trash out this morning? Do they come today?" Which is obviously a request for you to take the trash out next time but super annoying. The best marriage advice I ever heard was, "Simply make the request. Do not expect the other person to figure it out and read your mind. Simply make the request." And this person did! And said thank you!

typo fixed.[/quote]

Eh. I didn't get an employee vibe. I think you maybe read into texts and assign feelings and intent when it's probably just a simple request meant to keep the trains (and garbage) running on time. But if you're looking for an issue, you're going to find it. Maybe that's what's happening here. [/quote]
