to be annoyed · frustrated · exasperated with something or someone
This expression perfectly captures that feeling when you've had *enough* of a situation or a person's behavior. 😠 Imagine trying to fix a leaky faucet for the fifth time, or listening to the same old excuses from a friend. You're past annoyed, you're just... fed up! It's great for showing your exasperation without necessarily blowing your top.
💡 **Usage Note:** You usually say 'I'm fed up with...' followed by the thing or person causing your frustration. For example, 'I'm fed up with this constant noise!' or 'I'm fed up with his excuses!' It implies a long-standing annoyance rather than a sudden burst of anger. Keep it polite, even when you're feeling fed up!
When would you most appropriately use 'to be fed up'? A. 🚀 When you just heard exciting news about a promotion. B. 🔊 When you've been listening to your neighbor's loud music every night for weeks. C. 🤧 When you're feeling slightly unwell with a cold.
