When someone tells you to do something you already planned on doing?
It's such a small, trivial thing, and yet as soon someone does it, my motivation to do that thing goes through the floor 
Does it bother you when it happens and if so, how do you react? |

Things like this?
Clean your room
Brush your teeth
Make your bed
Or more work related? |

I hear you OP. Does it make you feel like a kid again being told what to do, or is there another trigger?
I just say "yes it's already on my list"... 
And then flock the Vs when they aren't looking  |

"It doesn't matter. Move on.
(That's the intelligent way to reply to questions around here apparently!)"
Apparently so eh. God forbid anyone might fancy a chat.  |

Usually work related for me. Being told asked when I’m going to do thing 2 when I’m just finishing thing 1 can run me up the wrong way. |

Yep. More so when its my mum for some reason. I turn into a petulant child when I visit her 
I think it's because its the insinuation that as an adult I can't choose when I want to do things. Stupid things like making a cup of tea. If she wants one so bad why doesn't she make it herself! |

Yes, in fact last night, we were getting it on together, I was just about to slip my head between her legs when she suggested I do exactly that.
Pffft, I refused and was so looking forward to it |

Ooooo it gets me all hissy.
If someone asks nicely I'll reply with my itinerary so they know it's already on my list, but also where it stands priority wise.
If they tell me.. eeek. That's a whole different ball game and usually met with death stare and silence.
I had a chat with my boss about it once coz he's an arse for it. I've been there 12 years and know the job inside out, often doing things he himself wouldn't even have thought of. I explained it makes me feel like he doesn't trust me or respect me actually, and I'm not the kind who will thumb twiddle. I'm more than capable of prioritising. He did apologise and explained if he didn't tell me and assumed I was gonna do it anyway and I didn't, then the blame would land at his feet and not mine.
I respected that but still no excuse for telling instead of asking.
