AITA for not apologizing to my husband?

Everyone Sucks

This morning I was using the toaster and my husband was standing right in front of it. Rather than ask him to move so I could pull the toaster out from under the shelf, I simply plugged it in and used it.

He calmly reminded me that we need to have it out further on the counter so steam rising from frozen waffles in the toaster doesn't eventually damage the shelf.

I began to say that I hadn't moved t because he was standing there (my words were "You were-"

I tried to immediately rephrase my explanation for my actions when he flipped out and yelled at me, saying I was shifting blame and not accepting his criticism.

He yelled at me and accused me of being selfish and that I always do this when someone "calls me out"

I tried to say I wasn't blaming him but he didn't seem to care.

I think I might be the AH because I didnt apologize for forgetting or speaking up. This isn't the first time we've had this fight too.
