Agree wholeheartedly. Not handing over the fork halts the action and makes the rest of the scene an argument about the fork (or worse, an argument about the glorp).
There is plenty of choice in *how* you hand over the fork. With a deep sigh? Frantic and apologetic? Licking off the fork you were using and handing it over? All of those inform who you are and how you treat others, adding legs to a simple request.
