----- Nancy, can you help me type this report, please?
----- ______ I have a lot of work to do.
A. Why me? B. Don't bother me.
Could you tell me which one is suitable? Thank you.

They are both possible but they have different meanings.
A. Why me? is like why did you choose me and please ask someone else.
B. Don't bother me is a lot stronger and firmer. It has the meaning of "I will not do it." |
