annoyed - Story 6979 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He had finally managed to carve out some quiet time in his day. The kids were at their grandparents, the house was silent, and he had a rare moment to himself. The peacefulness was instantly shattered by a loud knock on the door.

He opened the door to find Mr. Davis, a clipboard in hand, a cheerful grin plastered across his face. He knew what was coming.

"Morning! Your yard is a real showstopper," he boomed, as though he was a car salesman. "I'm thinking of starting a small garden. My area doesn't have much space. Any chance I could...?"

He felt his temples begin to throb. "I'm in the middle of something. Can we talk later?" He closed the door.
