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

Maybe it's a language barrier thing "come here" sounds rude to my German brain. Like an order you give a dog, not the way you ask a person to come to you. "Check this out" seems the same but it sounds much better to me.

My guess is that in usage it’s more like, “(hey) c’mere,” which would be less commanding and more friendly. Tone of voice can also play a big role on this particular phrase.
But you’re right, “come here” can be rude or bossy.
