DEAR MISS MANNERS:My husband asked me if Iwould hand him a specificitem from his sizable workbag, which was across theroom. I brought him theentire bag instead of re-moving the requesteditem.His response was to

angrily snap at me that Imight as well have notdone him a favor at all.I was floored at the

rudeness of it all and stub-bornly stood my ground,saying that he should bemore clear. He maintainsit is common sense that Ishould have brought himthe specific item request-ed.He apologized for his

overreaction, but he wantsan apology from me – forangrily telling him that theonly proper responsewhen someone does you afavor is “thank you” andthat his argument is ab-surd.I just can’t bring myself

to apologize for doing hima favor.GENTLE READER:MissManners will say this: Herown dear mother taughther never to look insideanyone else’s belongingsand to just hand the wholebag over, as you did. Shepermits you to relay thatto your husband.
