I also worry about being too direct and blunt so when I am dealing with staff in a shop or talking over the phone or even if I am writing an email I try to use key phrases to soften my request, if Ive got a phone call to make I will even write down what to say

eg
I wonder if you could please help me, it's probably me being very dim
I hope you don't mind but I have a huge favour to ask please
I have to apologise in advance, I know this is an odd thing to ask...

If you come across as apologetic, confused worried even I think people are less likely to see it as aggressive strike, you have to get staff on your side and keen to co operate and be helpful

And also thank the person profusely afterwards - even if you have had to show them how to do their own job

Eg Thank you so much, that was so much more simpler/straightforward/ less complicated than we thought
Thank you I am so relieved, it was so much quicker, I was so worried

Also asking open questions so you let the other person figure out the answer is a good tactic
eg when I was negotiating with Sky I said to the chap well I've been testing our download speed and it's averaging around the x mark - what do you think? So the chap was keen to help, didn't go straight in the defensive and we had a proper discussion about it and what could be done.

I do this too mhoc. Softly softly catchee monkey

Bubbs, thanks for the foot scraper post, reserved 2 to collect one for me and one for mils Christmas present!

I normally use the fake ped egg from poundland which I must admit is very good.

Hi

My wife is doing a charity cycle ride for the disease my youngest son has and I'm just posting a link as some of you will know he has a life limiting disease and I've never posted anything like this before.
