The only time I get irked about giving an estimate is when I don't get time to think about it. I need to be able to think through the request, jot some questions (and jot down what I anticipate the answers to be and how it affects the estimate), make some notes and think about what impact that feature will have.
It's not a good look for a manager to ask for an estimate in a meeting and expect a reply immediately. But, it happens.

The only time I ask this question is in meetings where a project is late and we are talking remediation or someone is proposing to do something new. I don’t do it because I expect people to deliver estimate instantaneously. I do it because I expect professionals to come to meeting prepared after having done their job.
