My particular problem with "Do the needful" is the implied lack of respect for the person performing the action. More often than not it is prefaced by "Can you please" rather than "Please can you".

I'm not just being a pedant - these things matter. They might seem like nuances, but the nuances are the differences between meaningful relationships formed and mere transactions.
