annoy

Annoy means to bother or disturb someone, making them feel frustrated or irritated.

When we say that something annoys us, it usually means that it's getting on our nerves. For example, if a noisy construction site is near your house, it might be annoying because you can't sleep or relax in peace. People often get annoyed with others too - like when someone cuts them off while driving or interrupts their conversation. Sometimes things can even annoy us over time, like cluttered spaces that make us feel overwhelmed.
