Some people feel that their authonomy and control are being taken and a way to reclaim it is to simply rebel and refuse to do the task. They have probably had these experiences and it triggers past unpleasant or traumatic experiences. These are the people who might deeply, on a non verbal level, believe that others can control them. They cant.

What if you were going to have some fun time with your partner. And your partner tells you to do what you were gonna do anyway. How eould you feel? Just food for thought.
