How it's used
This expression captures a specific sense of annoyance when someone is being pushed to finish a task faster than they feel is reasonable. It often implies that the person doing the rushing is being impatient or unreasonable. It is most effective when used to push back against someone who is hovering or repeatedly asking for progress.
Examples
Stop rushing me, I am working on it already.
Why are you rushing me? Being anxious is useless.

Common phrases
do not rush me
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply being busy or fast. It specifically describes the act of being pressured by someone else, not the act of rushing oneself.
