Is the downright r-slurred phrase "Can I ask you a question" rather than just asking your question a !burgers moment?
I have never seen fellow !britbongs do this , asking permission to ask a question is a complete waste of everyone's time.

Huh
I'ma need a bigger bag for the cohort
Tryna make a millionaire out of slum dogs
Bet that, head crack, blunt force
Cozy with the east Africans up north
Where seven make a three, turn a ten by law
Crescent moon wink, when I blinked it was gone
Left the crib, smacked, no sheath on the sword
Made it by the skin of my teeth, thank God
'03, momma rockin' Liz Claiborne
Had her stressin' up the wall playin' Mary J. songs
Rainy day came, couldn't rinse the stains off
Long way to go, we already came far
Story stayed the same, it was never madе up
Threw me loose changе, look at what I made of it
When the mood change, I'ma poker-face 'em
It's a new day, who got all the aces?
Who be foldin' late? Who know when to play dead?
Who sit up straight when the roof caved in?
Had a full plate, you ain't wanna split it
Tell it to you straight, you ain't wanna listen
Cup runneth over the brim
Bust open, there's no closin' the lid
Drumroll, here go my lil' entrance
Gung ho, I'm the one that go get it
Five O's on me like the Olympics
Pure gold, somethin' told me, "Don't mix it"
Caught a feelin', momma had me out Temple
Not religious, we was really out Philly
Livin' on the fly tryna wing it
We got us a fire to rekindle
Redirect the fight where it's meant for
Triumph over plight and immense loss
Ride alone at night, I get clear thoughts
Caught a couple slights and I veered off
Saw another height, had my ears poppin'
Walked outside, it was still gorgeous
Sharp incisors reveal slowly
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
Uh, niggas still drummin'
Foot shook ground when I stepped on it
Didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
And I didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
Alright
Yessir, this nigga spittin'

It's an indicator of request you social
r-slur. You ask that to indicate you will not be asking a simple 
question 
and that it requires an earnest engagement

That's how I use it. Social group chats, it's an indication that this isn't just shooting the shit but I want an actual answer.

It softens the delivery
of the following question 
so they're somewhat ready 
to answer 
and you sound 
less accusatory.
Anyhow it was quite gray and rainy today, I always think
of you Britties on days like this "Wow I'm just like those guys".

I only really dislike it over text when they don't immediately follow it up with the question. I would be twice as interested in answering if I was just sent the question right away and didn't feel like I now have to check my phone every few minutes after saying yes. But in real life? It's only a few seconds so I cannot care.

well I or most other brits wouldn't actually take offense openly or say anything other than "sure, what's up" but I'd think less of your intelligence.

I like asking it because it gives the person an out, so it resolves you from everything, plus NO ONE EVER SAYS NO. They even seem intrigued. It's they best way to get an honest answer asking personal questions.

I always say 'can I ask you a personal question?' even when it's something innocuous for that exact reason.

I'll sometimes say "can I just ask, (question I want to ask)?" If I'm interrupting someone to ask it so it leaves them room to either answer or come back to it later. I would never say "can I ask you a question?" Without including the actual question

People don't start listening until a few lines into a conversation anyway, it saves time on repeating yourself to lead with filler.

doing it irl is whatever, doing it online on an ad-hoc chat for frivolous technical questions indicates you don't value anyone's time

I do this if I want someone to respond in real time.
If I'm in a support IRC I'll just lay out the question.
