Badger

To repeatedly ask someone to do something in a way that can be bothersome, like when a friend keeps urging you to join a game even after you've declined.

Examples

• During group projects, it can be frustrating when one team member starts to badger others for their opinions, making it hard to focus on the task at hand and causing tension.
• Every time I try to read my favorite book in peace, my friends will badger me to join them outside, and it becomes difficult to concentrate on the story I love.
