Sheesh...I do this type of request, too. And Ms.Hdog calls me on it. However, our convos go like this:

H: (on a ladder) This would be a lot easier if I had a flat head screw driver.
W: Are you saying you want me to get the flat head screwdriver?
H: Well, yes!
W: Oh. Why not just say Yo MsHdog, would you hand me the FHSD please?
H: Okay. Yo MsHdog, would you hand me the screwdriver, please?
W: Get it your own damn self, you lazy bum.

Just kiddin... In actuality, I'd go through this whole conversation in my head, climb off the ladder, and get it myself in the first place.



HA!!
Mind reader. Stop that. Just tell her to get you the screwdriver. Give her the chance to be negaitive. She may surprise you.

HD, very seemingly simple, changes like this can really have a cumulative effect. Of course if it were simple, it wouldnt be that hard to spit out would it. Fear. tsk tsk.
