It's alright to just say: hey actually today I'm quite busy and won't have time to do drapes. Sorry
It's not personal, but it's also not your problem if his department doesn't have enough ppl. Unless your manager is aware and specifically asks you to do it, you can be busy, that is allowed. It's not confrontational or defensive.
Snapping isn't the only way to bring it up, and best bring it up before you snap.
If you're a funny guy you can lightheartedly add something about your boss cutting into your department too!
This sounds like a quite good way to go about it, though this guy is known for being actually kind of an asshole and is likely to be like"no you're doing this now" which is equally likely to set me off into beligerance, which I'm trying to do less now that I have an actual big boy career and not just fast food
The trick is to be calm, and just say "i can't, sorry" and walk away. It might set him off but that's not your problem, and the loud one is likely to be the problematic one in the eye of the workplace ppls. You do what your manager says, he can take it up with him.
