Why do men have to ask so many questions?!

[BellatrixLeStrangest]

So yesterday my "D"H did not lift a finger to help me at all. I asked him to do the hoovering and I got a load of "oh why do you always clean all the time blah blah blah, I don't want to waste my Saturday hoovering" like it would take him 20 mins we live in a 2 up 2 down.. not fucking Cinderella's castle.
Anyway I did ALL the cleaning and all the cooking. He pissed me off near tea time so I gave him a piece of my mind and he decided to go and have a strop in his car somewhere. He didn't eat any of the homemade lasagne I'd slaved over.
Come today I've not had to do any cleaning because I did it all yesterday! Whoopty fucking dooo! Now who's the clever one?! Anyway I've tasked DH with making a roast dinner as he informed me it was Roast Dinner Day or some nonsense. So I said that's marvellous, you can make it for being a knob yesterday.

BUT... he keeps asking me questions... what do I do with the chicken? How do I do the potatoes? How shall I make the veg?
The man is not stupid, he can cook. Pretty sure he just wants me to be involved because he doesn't like doing anything by himself.
I'm refusing to answer his questions and I am enjoying a cup of tea and a book.
Does anyone else's DH or DPs behave like this when given a task? Or is mine just being very fucking annoying today and needs leaving outside with the black bin come Wednesday so he can be taken away?

Dh never does this. I would be telling him that I'm not Google. Is he hoping to get out of it by asking lots of questions and hoping you will just be like ffs and take over?

Well if he is he's very much mistaken as I won't be budging off this sofa!

It's Strategic Incompetence :

It's treated like reverse psychology/a game

I realise I have to pitch in to keep the peace so will give impression of being willing to do it

I don't want to do this task

I will feign at length to be incapable of/terribly bad at this

Hopefully I won't be asked again as not worth the mither

I win.

This is not a man thing. It’s your dh being irritating.

Tell him to buy an Alexa and ask her, the Electric Slave.

Fix it to give instructions in Jason Statham's voice, sprinkled with "you fackin' muppet" type whimsy.

Or answer all his questions with another:
How long do potatoes need? - How long do you think?
How sha I make the veg? - How would you like your veg?
What do I do with the chicken? - What do you want to do with the chicken?
In a sort of bored-flatline voice
