I can’t stand it! We asked some people what annoyed them. Here what they said: I don’t like waiting in line when a shop assistant has a long telephone conversation. When that happens, I usually say, “Would you mind helping me? ” And I don’t like it when shop assistants follow me around. Then I say, “Could you please not follow me around? I’ll ask you if I need some help. ” Usually the shop assistants say they are sorry, but sometimes they get mad. If that happens, I won’t go back to that store again.

I get annoyed when someone talks to me while I’m reading. This happens to me all the time in the school library. When it happens, I usually talk to the person because I want to be polite.
