i don't like your approach

"I don't like your approach, now let's see your departure" Maybe I am being a bit facetious here, I just modified a phrase I'd heard somewhere which is the same as above except for the "don't" to describe my feelings. Have you ever felt that way about someone? Did you think the person would have been better received by you had their approach been smarter, more diplomatic, maybe less overbearing, or less "over-lording" if that's a word? I think it could be poor communication skills yet, I am not really sure if that is the actual reason. I mean, if someone tells you they "need" to see you and they're not your boss, don't you immediately start to wonder why they're acting as if they are? I do. Am I being too sensitive about something like that? Shouldn't they approach you with a request more along the lines of: "Can we talk sometime?" or "May we talk sometime?" if you want to be very proper about word usage! Wouldn't that be more appropriate for the kind of relationship that is not "boss-to-employee"?
