Have any of you encountered the folk, typically in a work environment, that whenever they contact anyone, it’s always something along the lines of, “Insert monotone request or statement. Thanks.”
If you do this, or know individuals who do this, what’s the intent behind this style of communication? In my experience, it usually originates from individuals who consider themselves a bit of a VIP. They aren’t necessarily bad people, but are usually either trying to skip proper channels for a request, or correcting someone while having no idea what they’re talking about.

That’s so very Indian :)
First time I saw it, I almost replied with “but… you already did?”
“do the needful” feels like you’re being asked to step up and honor your responsibilities. BE A MAN. PAY THE BILLS. DO THE NEEDFUL.
I always got a bit of “it’s totally not my problem so I’m not even going to tell you what needs to be done - figure it out yourself”
Oh yeah lol that too
I’ve always assumed it’s the indian to english translation that makes it sound condescending.
