Pass the butter, please.

I was waiting around at the microwave for my leftover noodles to heat up when my colleague, who was putting together a toastie sandwich, said to me, "I've thrown out the ham as per your recommendations."

It was only after I paused, looked at him and repeated his sentence that he realized how strange it sounded.

Who speaks like that? Us, apparently. Have to be careful not to formalize my language too much. It can come off at best, strange, at worse, cold and distant.

Later, gator?
