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.

Read the article. Underline the things that annoy people. Circle what people do when annoying things happen.

Then I say, “Could you please not follow

me around? I’ll ask you if I need some

help.” Usually the sales 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. But because I’m polite, people don’t know I’m annoyed. So they do the same thing again. Perhaps in the future I should try not to be so polite.

1. The girl doesn’t care if she waits in line.

long telephone conversation, she often

waits. ( )

to follow her around politely. ( )
