annoyed - Story 6930 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The pharmacy was crowded, the line snaking through the aisles. Liam tapped his foot impatiently. The pharmacist was moving at a glacial pace, and the wait was excruciating. He’d barely made it through the day as it was.

He adjusted the strap of his backpack, feeling the weight settle on his already aching shoulders. He needed to get home. He had no energy for this.

He noticed a woman standing a few people ahead of him, also visibly distressed. She was muttering under her breath.

He leaned forward. "This is a joke, right?" he said under his breath.

She turned to him, her eyes narrowed. "You wouldn't happen to be here…?"

He sighed. "Yeah. The endless wait, the same old routine. It is."

She shook her head. "I know."
