Lol. This reminds me of our curmudgeonly physics teacher who would respond to “Can I go to the toilet?” with a supercilious “I don’t know. CAN YOU?” How we laughed.
They can, but why fucking risk it.
To be fair, the up ones do take longer for some reason?
Is that a question or a statement?
It is a classic way of stating facts around the UK
When I was an obnoxious 14 year-old, and a kindly librarian asked “Can I help you?”, I replied “Yes, you *may*.” She only blinked mildly in response, which was more than I deserved.
