I don't think 'retrieve the chicken from the oven for me' sounds wrong to be honest - though it would most likely be used if the chicken had been put in by accident, I doubt that it would cross my mind that they meant anything other than to get the chicken out.
ataswin26's comment was regarding using the words 'persecution' and 'lynching', which came across as overly 'drama queen' in a thread about getting a discount at a charity shop - obviously you'd have to ask ataswin26 if that was their thought as well.
