I think this sums it up quite nicely. I don’t think I’ll ever understand the way some people choose to spend their money or time so I don’t bother trying anymore.

My husband and I aren’t nearly as committed as you Ox but in general I agree. I was a late adopter and other than when work paid for my blackberry, I either didn’t have a phone or had a prepaid Tracfone. My husband has never bought a cel phone and has only ever had one through work, reluctantly.

I barely ever use my phone and it’s more of an emergency type thing. I loathe even carrying the thing around because unlike most women, I hate even having a purse (though I also reluctantly have one of those too).

But I have to admit that there are a handful of rare times when I’m glad I did have that phone I hate to carry around. But there are also about the same amount of times where I was calling someone in need (not a 911 emergency situation) and the phone was basically no help because I either didn’t have a connection, had a bad connection, or the person didn’t pick up.

When I’m working with someone to complete a task, I want clear, direct verbiage. Tell me clearly what should be done in as few words as possible as long as the meaning comes across. ‘Please’ is always appreciated but other extraneous words and taking forever to get to the point annoys me.

So in choosing between, “Please sign this form and return it to me.”, or “Could you sign this form and return it to me?”, the first one wins. First, it shouldn’t be a question. It sounds like begging or that perhaps you aren’t sure of yourself. Second, like scaredy said, I don’t like the can/could use when I know I CAN do it. Will/would wouldn’t make it much better though. As the client, I already know the choice is mine. But you need to sound confident or I’m starting to get nervous.

I’m sure this really varies between people.
