Bother or irritate?

Which of the following sentences is correct?

1) Don't they bother you when they call you "midge"?

2) Don't they irritate you when they call you "midge"?

If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?

Also, are there other ways to express the above concept?

Thank you

1) Don't they bother you when they call you "midge"?

2) Don't they irritate you when they call you "midge"?

Both are correct, and they are very close in meaning. 'irritate' seems to be a stronger emotion than 'bother'.
