Please lower the volume!

My question is why isn't it por favor?
If it was do me the favor of, I could understand it without the por, but then I think you would need, me hace favor de bajar un poquito el volumen.

This is on one of my new Spanish study cards.

I think it is an abbreviated way of saying Házme el favor de ... or Hágame el favor de ... -Do me the favor of...

there is no abbreviated way for that, it is just badly spoken

I am surprised at seeing this considered lower class. Before I had had any contact with mexican people I thought so too, but there it is perfectly correct and proper spoken.

In Spain it would sound odd, but o would, for example, vos or sos, which is the Argentinian form of tu and you are.

So, José and Zoltán, you are quite wrong, it is simply a regionalism.
