Put yourself in the shoes of the manager.
When you begin to hear reference to the DDA, it most certainly comes across as demand. Read what the original post said:

Whether or not it is a demand, the manager is seeing the request as a demand - i.e. "roll their eyes" is certain indication that demand is being seen, plus, any reference to DDA is definitely demand. Need... demand... all sound the same when it becomes a "call" on the system.
