Strange. I travel on Canadian and American passports and I've never had a problem. Of course I always use my US passport when coming into the US. In fact, I believe I'm obligated to do so as a US citizen and resident.
Anyway - telling them to "sod off" is a great way to get extra scrutiny. It's just way easier to smile and answer the questions.
