I have to get this off my chest!

I am getting ready to go and sit my exam. Bf (who has day off work to revise for his exam tomorrow) comes into the study and says, "There's no picture on the TV". I say, "dial 150 and report it as a fault" (we have cable). He goes downstairs.

A few minutes later, he reappears and says "I got a long recorded message telling me that there was a fault in the N4 area" (ie. not here). I said, getting slightly exasperated now, "did you report our fault?"; "no" he replies, "the message was too long and I had already pressed a lot of buttons on the phone." I say, "well I'll come and do it if you can't manage it yourself". "No, I'll do it then," he says crossly, and disappears again.

A few minutes later he reappears and says, "I need to unplug the decoder, where is the plug?" (I am gnashing my teeth by this point, there are 4 power sockets to choose from.) I tell him to find where the power cable comes out of the back of the decoder and follow it back to the plug. Then unplug it. "Oh, I'll just unplug everything then," is his final statement, but he says it as if I am being unreasonable!!

Would anyone else be slightly irritated by this? Am I being unfair? He is a lovely person, but not very practical!
