Personally I think it's *more* obnoxious to think you're somehow owed an explanation by virtue of nothing exactly.
Someone says "don't do x, please" there is zero reason to pry, people are nosy, yes it's natural to be curious, but it's also natural to have some damn tact. I can wonder privately, it's not the end of the world, or even remotely important why samantha doesn't want to be called sammie. Honestly the only purpose even asking serves is my curiosity, which is a tad selfish as far as motives go.
it depends on what x IS. if it's a person asking not to be referred to by a name, certainly, but if it's a manager asking me not to do something that is usually part of my job, I damn well will ask for an explanation as to why.
