Whenever my mom tries to help me, I have the same reaction. When she asks if I want help with something simple, it strikes me as though she's not taking me seriously, or not aware that I am capable of doing something on my own.
The other day, my sister and I were walking home from the bus, and I was in a bad mood. I was walking ahead of her, and she had the keys in her hand when I walked onto the driveway, towards the mailbox. She followed me there, waiting for me, and although she always does this, I yelled at her and asked if she thought I was incapable of opening and closing the door to the mailbox on my own, or if she was just waiting for me b/c of her incapability to turn the key in the lock (oh, so complicated).
I know this is childish, and I knew it the moment I said the words, the moment I thought them, but I was angry and it was easier to take it out on my sister than on the friend that had upset me in the first place.
See, sometimes it seems a better solution (and maybe it is) to take your frustration out on the ones that you know will ALWAYS be there. Rather than lose a friend in a fight, why not just take it out on my sister or your dad? It makes sense, right? I mean, we will always have the love and attention and friendship of those people, so why not take advantage of their promise to always be there? I think that's the reason why we feel it's okay.
Other times it's just because I feel like the person thinks that I'm stupid by offering assitance in a simple task, but since he's your father, I'm going to guess that that's not the case.

You don't want to feel like you can't do it yourself
