What does the phrase 'sorry to be such a pest' mean?

Answer 1

Usually, people will say "sorry to be such a pest" (meaning that they apologize for being irritating) when they need a little bit of reassurance. It is a conversational tactic used to test whether a person's comments are being well recieved. If your friend sends you three emails, and you haven't answered, and then he or she sends one more, but adds "sorry to be a pest," it probably means that he or she is worried about talking too much or becoming an irritation to you. In that case, a response is best, and reassurance that the person is not a bother is nice. Occasionally though, it is just for the sake of politeness. If a person says "sorry to be such a pest, but I need that report" it usually means that they have asked you before, and they realize that asking multiple times can be annoying, but they still want the report. :) In that case, when they are asking for something, they probably don't need reassurance.

Hi, friend, we are really living in very uncertain times in this moder era, when many people are getting on each other's nerves, my nerves is shot to hell too! And it is getting worst! Being a pest means, "not having enough time to share a few loving caring thoughts to avoid a natural catastrophe, like World War 2.. Friend, if any foreign outsider gets a hold of any nuclear weapon of an EMP, that shall devastate our economy here in America! Everyone has a debit card where there money is in the bank! And if a attack shall arrive upon us, all of our technology gadgets we use on a daily basics shall be useless, nothing shall work! There shall be chaos in the every Street in America, not only here, but in all the other parts of the world too! It shall be the worst tribulation since World War 2! JESUS did say this is arriving and quickly! Is Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior? Friend?

Wouk - - It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that GOD can watch human beings struggle for good and evil - - which is the view that religion has. The stage is too big for the drama! - - Richard Feynman
