annoyed
Put out, bothered
Annoyed describes mild irritation or displeasure—bothered but not truly angry.
You might be annoyed by a buzzing fly, a delayed flight, or someone's habit of interrupting.
The feeling sits below anger on the frustration scale: I'm not mad, just annoyed.
To get annoyed is human; to stay annoyed suggests the irritant persists.
