frustrating

Frustrating is when something or someone doesn't go as planned and makes us feel angry or annoyed.

The word "frustrating" is often used to describe situations where we're trying to do something, but it's just not working out. Imagine you've been waiting in line for ages, and finally, it's your turn to order. But then the cashier can't find your order on their system, or the printer jams, and suddenly your whole day is ruined. That would be frustrating! You might also use "frustrating" to describe a person who's hard to deal with, like a friend who always cancels plans at the last minute or a boss who never listens to your ideas. When we say someone is "frustrating," it means they're causing us a lot of trouble and making our lives more difficult than they need to be.
