I personally don't like when people order me to do something. I like to do things in my own way..and time.

I also do not like to take orders from others but I have to listen to my parents because they are elders and I respect them and their advises a lot, however I am someone who can adjust in many situations and I will never mind to abide to an order if it is for a good cause. My boyfriend like to give orders sometimes in the house but I think this is not to be taken too seriously because some people are just very good in saying things as if it is an order, so the tone they use are simply a normal one.
Listening to someone and doing what they say does not necessarily means you are small compared to the other and it is an order. I personally do not mind when either my parents or my boyfriend use the order's tone.

Well if i feel that the person telling me to do something or ordering me, is right then i go about doing what they asked me. But more often than not i listen only to myself.

Not usually. I also like to do things my own way. Micromanagement annoys the crap out of me. Plus, I always think that they are wrong and I am right.

I don´t like people that order me to do something and I don´t do it. But if they ask nicely and I think it´s ok, I will do as much as I can.

Hi, reploid!
I also take issue with someone "ordering" me to do something, whether it be at work or in my relationships with my family and friends. It is much more polite and respectful for someone to ask me "Would you mind.." or "Could you please..." instead of just gruffly demanding something of me, and just expecting me to do so.

Yes, when someone asks me something politely, I can be a very helpful person, but when it comes to orders, I won't listen to the person at all. Unless this person is trustworthy person in a given situation, for example a firefighter who is ordering me to leave a place that is getting burnt in flames.
