Entitlement

Conversation from a student.

"Where is the tape?"

me: "What tape?"

"The tape you use to tape papers with."

me:"Since I do not require papers to be taped, I do not provide tape."

What happened to asking? Can he/she not hear the difference between "Where's the tape?" and "May I please have some tape?"
