Many people do not understand when to take a break and not to put pressure on the interlocutor with authority, arguments and a non-stop stream of words. They can talk about their children, ask for an increase in salary. But showing so much enthusiasm is ridiculous! To annoy anyone is to show contempt for his personal space, to ignore the natural right to take a break from another's society. The history of the word hints at the outrage of such behavior.
If a person is not a pie, how to get it
By implying ongoing parental care or calls from a collection agency, you can say that you are being harassed. Dictionaries interpret the term in three ways:
Persistently affect a person or object.
To bother, to torment bodily and spiritually - in colloquial speech.
Collect, collect the rest of the debt.
A wide range of meanings associated with deprivation. At least once in their lives, everyone has run into troubled children's games, toothache, dubious credit organizations, and advertising. Then the meaning of “pestering” was fully felt. And hardly ever want to repeat such a valuable, but painful experience.
Spoiled mood - form of milking
Using the term today, they almost never remember debts. Nevertheless, Dahl indicated them as the only meaning. In his dictionary you can find the concept of "milk". And we are talking not only about usurers with fabulous interest or loans from a prudent neighbor, but also about any duties and taxes. The pledge, the object of the debt, was called the “milieu,” and today it can often be heard in the form with the prefix “non.”
Contemporaries are paying with surrounding nerve cells and free time that they spend to listen to an intrusive interlocutor. It’s not necessary that you are being harassed in the case: an ordinary gossip neighbor or an intrusive guard can have fun at someone else’s expense, trying to get rid of boredom. That is, in the realities of the XXI century, the term has lost the presumption of guilt, because we are no longer talking about real debt.
Who is right: the donor or the victim
Etiquette implies that people should be sympathetic to the needs of loved ones. If someone wants to talk, he makes a polite hint and may be refused. I heard the phrase about the case and the need to pick up the children from the kindergarten in response, but did not accept it? Started pestering? It is worth saying bluntly about the lack of time for conversation.
It may come out somewhat rudely, but no one dares to put their own desires above the capabilities of another person. Feel free to throw the most impudent people out of your head and life, so as not to suffer again!
