I've been paying my own way in the world since I was fourteen, and I don't need to "prove my independance" by acting snotty when someone offers to do me a favor. Besides, I'm old and my feet hurt.
My whole interpretation of the "I CAN DO IT FOR MYSELF YOU PIG" attitude is that it's coming from someone who, deep down, has doubts and insecurities about her own independance. Which is her problem, not yours.
