Every time you run around screaming while I am working, you are testing my nerves.
Hello.
I have another question about the „present simple“ vs “present continuous”
Me to my friend:
Every time you run around screaming while I am working, you are testing my nerves/patience.
Wouls the simple tense work?
2.example:
Every time you look for a new job you are signalling that your old one is not good enough.
I think the continuous is better in this case.

"Every time you look for a new job, you're signaling/you signal that your present one isn't good
