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.
