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.

I’m not sure I understand your problem with this. Are you perceiving being asked to do a task as rude or are you just annoyed at being asked at all?
"Insert monotone request or statement. Thanks.” Is just an objective and no fluff way of saying “You need to do this” by a manager or someone tasked with delegating work.
