Present Simple or Present Continuous?
I am curious which tense is better..?
I would like to say that somebody all the time gets me angry/ gets on my nerves.
What should I say:
He gets me angry or He is getting me angry ( As far asI know by Continuous we can expresses our annoyance)..
Because when I want to say that he gets me angry for example today I can say:
He is getting on my nerves today, is it correct?
Thank you for help.

Present continuous is used for
1. Now

For the fourth usuage, always is usually used.
Ex. He is always coming late. He is always telling lies
