~~FYI~~
         pain in the neck refers to a person or thing that is very annoying.

         Situation: Jane and Lizzy are having a conversation with Martha about her recent trip to Disneyland.

         Martha: And then, we took the Splash Mountain and got really wet so we had to dry ourselves up;   
                        then we went to the Haunted Mansion and it was really fantastic-- you should try it, too! 
                        Next, we tried the Disneyland Railroad, uhm, well it was sort of relaxing since we took a 
                        couple of rides already...And yeah! We also tried the Space Mountain. It was my first time 
                        so I was really nervous like I wanted to back out but I said to myself, "I'm a grown up so I 
                        should be brave enough!"...

(continued speaking)

         Jane: (whispers to Lizzy) She is driving me nuts!
         Lizzy: (whispers) I know! She talks a lot!
         Martha: ...Well, it was really a tiring day for me but I sure had a lot of fun! Oh! My mom's calling, 
                        she must be waiting outside. I'll see you around!
         Jane and Lizzy: Yeah, see you then!
         Lizzy: Whew! That was a long speech!!
         Jane: I knew it would happen. She doesn't let anyone speak. She's a pain in the neck!
         Lizzy: Luckily, she's gone. (laughs)
