Comment on Why does “come here” bother me so much?

You’re not alone. My wife does this all the time, usually by text, which is even more annoying since we’re always within earshot of each other.

I think it bothers you (and me) because it’s akin to someone ringing a bell for their servant. It doesn’t value your time at all to simply call you over with no context.

Once in a while? Fine. Always? That’s just being disrespectful.

I’ve simply resorted to “what is it?”, “I’m busy right now” or “I’ll come later”, and that usually ends up with a “never mind”, so I know it was never something important enough to stop what I was doing.
