Hi Volcano

I'd say it depends on the broader context to a large degree, but I can imagine people saying something like this:

- "Do you realize you're sitting on my clothes?"
- "Do you realize you just sat on my clothes?"

Most people will understand that sort of sentence to be an indirect way of saying "Get off my clothes."

Hi,

I hope you realize that this suggests a context where you are talking to someone about clothes that you are not wearing.

eg a changing room at a swimming pool.

Yes, can I say get off my cap/hat?

If the situation is that someone has accidentally sat on your hat, that would tend to sound rude.

Because the "verified" answers automatically go to the top, it can create some confusion for someone following the thread, so for the edifcation of others, I'll offer this comment.

Let's say you're somewhere and a stranger has stood or sat somewhere, not realizing your stuff - clothing, cap, whatever - was underneath.

If you say "Get off my X" you will seem very aggressive an

Actually, I was looking for the aggressive way

Hi Volcano

You should make things like that clear when you ask such a question. We generally don't automatically assume that someone wants to know a rude or aggressive way to say things.

If you wanted to be really rude, you could say "Get the f*** off my hat!"

(I'll leave it to you to figure out what f*** means.)

Can you tell us why?

Tsk, tsk, Yankee. The f-word! I think the h-word would have been sufficient. We don't want to create ESL monsters.
