■意味を考えてみよう。今日取り上げる単語が含まれています。
Boy, am I ticked off.
What's up, Melinda? Looks like someone got your goat.
And When I was finally able to talk to a rep, I got only
vague, noncommittal answers as to when my necklace would be
repaired and whether or not they would do it free of charge.

I found the customer service rep's attitude off-putting
and annoyingly lackadaisical.
