Bothered Quotations | Page 2

He made the right protection calls. We had communication problems and execution problems. If you line up and get beat physically, I can take that. But we had guys missing assignments. That bothered me more than the physical mistakes.

He grew up in this atmosphere. So the expectations others had for him have never bothered him because they can't match those that he's had for himself for a long time.

My questions were all about things that bothered me personally. I wanted to explore how good people can do bad things.

I went into politics thinking that, if I made arguments in good faith, I'd get a hearing. It's a reasonable assumption, but it's wrong. In five and a half years in politics up north, no one really bothered to criticize my ideas, such as they were. It was never my message that was the issue. It was always the messenger.

Like many other people of my generation, I don't think I ever really bothered to grow up. I wasn't ever really a proper teenager until I was about 19, and maybe I got a bit stuck there, because it seemed to go on and on.

Some friends of mine bothered me for a long time about getting on the social networking pages. They were close friends that I liked to mess with, and I think that I kind of enjoyed for a while that it bothered them so much. Now they've just kind of given up.

That bothered me. It's just one more red flag.

That broke him up. That really bothered him. He felt he had to help. He was a good man.

I said, 'No,' a few times. I could see he was rounding the bag -- and he was flying -- and I knew he was going. I think the ball he thought was a home run bothered him, and he tried to do a little bit more.

just a little bit sore on the upper part of my back. It bothered me a little bit today, but it wasn't too bad, so I'll get it sorted out this afternoon, and hopefully by tomorrow, I'll be sweet.

I think maybe the magnitude of the game bothered us a little bit.

I think the fans could see in his face and body language that he was bothered when things didn't go well. They appreciate work ethic and even empathize with him from time to time. But it's probably not a good thing to do it in back-to-back seasons.

Last year, it kind of bothered me a little bit. Now I've gotten used to it. It just adds a little intensity, a little more to the game.

It is a tough way to start the game when you put yourself in a hole against a team like the Mavericks. The pressure bothered us a little.

Our full-court pressure bothered them. We didn't get many turnovers (W&M had 10 for the game), but we contested most of their shots. We went away from the pressure at the start of the second half and then had to go back to it.

I think he ran a huge race. I know Prado was in tight. I rode tight a little bit, but I don't think it bothered him, not at all. When he came out, my horse came out at the same time. But I was clear because he was right behind me. à He's an immature colt, but he's getting better and better.

I think (the injury) bothered us. I think it made us more feisty.

I think it's now 40 percent of people say this was the main reason or one of the main reasons I bothered to come down and take a look. Let's see what Eden's all about.

It has always bothered me that we don't use a purchase order system so therefore outstanding expenses cannot be tracked. It is a reasonable solution to several of these billing and budget issues.

I thought he answered a big question today about whether he could go a mile and one-eighth and it might give some of his doubters a little more faith. He's been chasing speed for the last year and today he relaxed quite a bit, then had to start going again when bothered in the stretch, which is a good sign. I thought he showed a lot of courage, especially for a horse making his first start around two turns.

I think it is to his benefit. He handles stuff like that really well. It probably bothered our foes more than it did him.

It bothered a lot of guys. Coming off the field, everyone was talking about, 'We never want to see 20 points on the board again.' That's something we really, really dislike, especially as a defense.

It bothered a lot of us. To hear people criticize him, it hurt us.

It bothered him a great deal in Game 5, you could tell. He battled it out as long as he could. He gave us five great games. He was our best player in the series.

It bothered him for a while. But then he forgets it. He's already onto next year, looking at the best way to get to the Super Bowl. That's his goal every year, and it's the beauty of that organization. Everybody has that same goal.

It bothered me a lot. I didn't even practice hardly during that time. I couldn't really move. I couldn't attack the basket. I felt like I was not really helping my team.

It bothered me a lot (Saturday night). We don't ever want to be part of the story.

It didn't look good. He could barely walk and he told me the brace really bothered him. You never knew if he was going to wear that brace all the time or if he was going to get out of it. He was killing the ball at the plate, but he could hardly get to first base.

Tremendous speed. He can jump sideways, ... And he doesn't seem to be bothered by the environment.

Tyler is one of our quickest players. At 6-2, Dave Barcroft provides inside help. Robbie Davia has been a major contributor off the bench. He isn't bothered by the pressure associated with a big game. Robert Beall, at 5-11, has also made valuable contributions.

We allow our clients to manage their loan within the portal. That's something that most places don't want to be bothered with. We feel giving that control to the consumer is a matter of customer service. When you look at how many people have chosen our service over the years, there is no doubt that they agree with us.

The Pre-Raphaelites, while very bothered by what the establishment thought of them, also utterly rebelled against it. In everything - social, sexual, emotional - they were out on a limb, pushing the boundaries.

We have trivialized this park, residents make too little use of it, and tourists don't know where it is, ... Neither the city or the federal government has bothered to make maximum use of it. The problem is that it had no plan and it's in a state of great deterioration.

I was really bothered by it. I grew up around many Asian cultures, Korean one of them. A lot of my best friends were Korean growing up. I just didn't understand. Later on I realized that was built up by certain people and that was directed at me, negative energy from other things, not even resulting around the sport, but around politics, using me to stand on the pedestal as the anti-American sentiment.

The allegations were all baseless, without merit, highly suspect and I am very surprised that the TEA even bothered to get involved in making a judgement call in areas that were governed by our own board operating procedures.

We continue to be bothered by the company's propensity to shine a more positive light on results and growth rates than the numbers may support.

There are some tough guys on this team. They're definitely getting there as far as physical play. It's bothered me that we haven't had that persona, but our inside guys are maturing. Rebounding is a toughness trademark.

We hear this a lot from customers, and I don't think it's a North-South thing. We're in New York now, and it's still boiling hot. ... Even though the fall clothes look beautiful, psychologically, you can't be bothered trying them on.

We are not bothered by the threats that cases will be filed against us. If they're going to file cases now, let them go to the courts now. These are desperate moves by people who can't offer anything for the welfare of the people.

This still bothered me, anyway, because where were these people going to go on Monday morning.

We actually think it's a great idea. We have received complaints in the past from passengers who were bothered by smoking. And it also creates a litter problem on the platforms and on the track beds.

We wore 'em down. I think our depth bothered them.

When a player goes through an injury and doesn't play the way he wants to, sometimes rumors start. When they first started, I talked to him about it. I knew it bothered him because he liked it here. . . . It puts a bit of uncertainty in your head, and that's never a good thing.

Always have sunglasses with you. They're great for when you can't be bothered to put make-up on.

Wall Street is not as bothered as it should be because of Buffett. He's legendary for investing in undervalued companies for the long haul. Absent Buffett and Pier 1 would be in more trouble,

Government wars aren't my wars; they've got nowt to do with me, because my own war's all that I'll ever be bothered about.

We are also supposed to get two more trucks with ice and water today, ... But I'm crossing my fingers because I don't know that that will happen since no one from FEMA or MEMA or anybody has bothered to check on the town of Richton. I know the Gulf Coast is devastated, but if we don't take care of our elderly they are going to die and then our town will be devastated.

Going hungry never bothered me - it was having no clothes.

The positive things are very shallow; the positive things would be things like: Getting any restaurant reservation you like! Getting to the front of the line! Being given free things! So what? The traveling is monstrous because you get bothered all the time. The hell of going on holiday when you're famous! You can't go anywhere! It's just no fun!

We're so young, so we're learning as we go. We have so much talent here, but we have two transfers (Tucker and Foster) and some kids without much experience. Perth Amboy bothered us with some pressure in the fourth quarter, which I expected, but we were able to regain our composure.

Did I get bothered by it? No. I'd get bothered if he said he didn't want the ball.

Did it bother me at times? Sure, it bothered me. Did I ever go in the tank completely? No not really.

Was anybody else bothered by the sight of mine-resistant vehicles and guns pointed at unarmed men in Ferguson?

What really bothered me is we got seven shots in the first half and turned the ball over 13 times. We didn't execute anything offensively.

What really bothered me was that staff did not have the courtesy to provide the bad news in the council?s Friday dispatch. Even though they knew about the problem since Jan. 20, they choose instead to deliver the message at the work session and not give the council any time to investigate alternative solutions.

Turnovers have bothered us all season. We have limited our mistakes in January and it's paid off a little. We've taken better care of the ball. It's just been a matter of slowing ourselves down.

I've been staying with my nana recently because my house needs such a good clean, and I can't be bothered to go in there. It's been nice - my nana's been doing all my washing.

I separated my shoulder in practice and the three team doctors all agreed that I needed to have surgery. Ara was skeptical, so he sent me to a specialist in Chicago who told me to just leave it alone and the soreness will go away. I took his advice and it never bothered me again.

I served on the Town Council of Jupiter from 1975-1981 and, even though it was much smaller then, we found real issues to deal with, such as keeping taxes low, living within our means, dealing with growth. We would not have bothered about someone advertising a puppy for sale with a sign on their own property. I guess we were so good that now the council and staff can deal with that very dangerous woman who put a sign in her own yard!

I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for three-thousand dollars. That bothered my dad at the time because he didn't have that kind of dough. But he eventually scraped it up.

I've never had (a) beef with World. Personally, we were teammates. We understood that. I understood that. As the primary (option) on this team, I felt it was my responsibility to have the ball come through me, and I consolidated and distributed to everybody. I don't know if World was bothered by that.

It wouldn't have bothered me a bit if the final score had been 2-1, as long as we would have won.

It would have bothered me to see Ken Daneyko's number, or Scott Stevens' given out. But Nieder made his own choice to leave.

I've been bothered about time generally and our tripartite division of time into past, present, and future. I think I know what the past is, and I think I know what future is, but I'm really not comfortable with the notion of present.

The zone bothered us more than it should have. Our guard play was very tentative. I don't know why. ... We will have to go look at the tape and take a look at it. But, it was a heck of a basketball game.

The whole thing with (the TV interview) bothered him. I think maybe a little time off will help him gain perspective on the whole thing and why he does it and how important it is to him. What he's capable of achieving. Right now the important thing is for him to come into the Olympics on top of his game.

We were down to 10 on the shot clock a couple of times. You definitely take the air out of team's sails when you do that. We made tough shots down the stretch. I think that bothered them. They weren't concentrating on offense.

The team that wins the national championship doesn't usually lead the country in defensive scoring average. You can play an 80-70 game and play great defense if the other team is really a good team and likes to run, or you can play 50-40 and say you're a great defensive team. That never bothered me. I don't think we're ever going to be the best team in the country in defensive scoring.

The Tarver loss bothered me for a while simply because I knew why I lost that fight. It wasn't because of my skills; it was my lack of preparation. I took too much time off. I should have said: 'I'm not ready for this fight, let's postpone it.' But the warrior that's inside of me said go out and fight.

I've never seen anything like it. It bothered us for a while, but once we got going we played pretty well.

The word 'happiness' always bothered me, partly because it was scientifically unwieldy and meant a lot of different things to different people, and also because it's subjective.

What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you.

What bothered me most about chick lit, frankly, was how the term was used to dismiss a huge chunk of the bookstore as silly, girlish prattle.

What bothered me was the free throw attempts. We fouled them way too much.

We scored 31 points in the first quarter tonight, then 28 in the second half. The zone bothered us like it has throughout the season -- we couldn't make shots.

We had a great first quarter, the press really bothered them. I was really pleased with our defensive effort tonight.

We had a hard time stopping them. Their zone bothered us. We had to come down against a set defense for most of the first three quarters.

We've had so many games where we just can't seem to finish at the end. Kennedy's press bothered us at the end and they had three consecutive steals that gave them their momentum.

Bolden did a great job on Crystal last year at our place. She went 2 for 14, and I think that was a difference. Shannon is a really intelligent player just with her length, (Smith) had to shoot over a 5-11 player with her hand up, I think that bothered her a little bit.

Stuff like that happens a lot at the start of a game. I had all of my pitches going; I just had some trouble with my control. I had a big blister on my left foot, which is my push-off foot, and that bothered me.

People constantly describe me as a formalist or even a minimalist, but I'm not really bothered with the rules of painting or the history of painting. My approach is that everything is mine. I take what I can use from wherever, and then I forget where I've taken it from. But there is no point me making anything that looks like anyone else's.

I've never been bothered by it too much of what people write, when it's their opinion or whatnot. It's not something I think about. There are a lot of people who get criticized, and if I'm going to get a little sensitive about it, that's a little immature on my part because everybody gets it. It's part of the game. It's part of the business.

The thing that bothered me more than anything is he put himself before the football team. To me that's selfish. He's selfish. He shouldn't do that.

I wanted to go to the Arc really bad, and it bothered me that I had to eat my own words that we were going to go,

Something that bothered people about 'Dawson's Creek' but as a writer, I kind of dug: writing those kids as though they were college grad students. It was fun and liberating and made for a true sort of writer's show. It was a fun year for me, because I got to get out of debt with my first TV job, and I learned a ton.
