Tomer"I want my money tomorrow morning on my office or things wont turn well

or

"I want my money tomorrow morning on my office or things will get heavy"

The first one is ambiguous. If you don't get the money, will things turn out badly for you,
or for the person you're threatening, or for both of you?

We would say "in my office," or "on my desk, or both."

I'd be inclined to change the sentence order:
I want my money in my office on my desk tomorrow morning or

Hi,

"I want my money tomorrow morning on my office or ~~things wont turn well~~
things won't turn out well. This means that there will be a bad result.

or

"I want my money tomorrow morning on my office or things will get heavy"
This sounds a bit like a threat. Maybe someone will come and break your legs if you don't pay?

I only beat you by four seconds!

(Hmmm, now it's five.)

Edit. Pardon the misplaced adverb. "I beat you by only four seconds!" (bad habit)

hi

I dont know why you have asked this question. i hope you don't have to say it someday, anyway first of all your sentence is not gramatically wielded

the sentence you wrote is

"I want my money tomorrow morning on my office or things wont turn well

write it as

I want my money tomorrow morning in my office or things won't turn out well

The 'in my office' applies to both the sentences.

The latter sentence is more of intimidating nature

imnidhiyour sentence is not gramatically wielded

I love this expression! Is it common in your community?

We often use the adjective, saying that a thing is unwieldy, or hard to manage, or awkward;
but I don't often hear the passive verb: "His sword was not well wielded."

Do you think of it more as an adjective? That is, "It is not well wielded" = "It is not well formed"?
(The action of wielding/forming "is already done" ?)

Best wishes, - A.
