Ah, see, if I was on the phone to someone administering a list, and I asked, "is it possible to move me to the top of the list?" - I would expect them to action that if this was a reasonable and possible request that I had made. Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't know if that's a regional/cultural thing (I am Australian).
edit: and that's why I read Andrew's ask as also implying action.
- SyneRyder 2mo agoYep, also Australian here, and that is a phrase I would read as a request to do it. I think I used that exact wording when asking on the phone to reschedule a haircut appointment: "Is it possible to shift my haircut to the following Wednesday?" I would just hope that the person on the phone would decline if the person who cuts my hair is on holiday, not cancel their plane tickets and hotel bookings.
