Get your story straight! Why are you late for work?

Get your story straight! What do you want from us?

 

Hi,

Do both of the above with the idiom "Get your story straight" sound right and polite? Thanks.

Do both of the above with the idiom "Get your story straight" sound right and polite? They are right, but they don't sound at all polite. It's close to telling someone that they are lying.

Best wishes, Clive
