You've Made My Blood Boil
You shouldn't go shopping with me. Ok? Shopping is fun but going with you fills me with dread! You don't tell me what stores I should go to and you don't walk with me humming a strange sound. I hummed and hawed before buying anything because of you.
And don't pick your nose while looking at things! Please!
Have a nice day, friends!

You Make My Blood Boil.
I'm not going shopping with you, ok? Shopping is supposed to be fun, but going with you makes my blood boil. (or...the thought of going with you fills me with dread) I don't need you telling me what stores to go to, and I don't like your humming the whole time. It was becasue of you that I hummed and hawed the last time we went together.
And stop picking your nose while looking at things!

(why do I have to hum a strange sound to walk with you?)

Am I wrong to correct "what/which". I don't think I am.
Anyway, I said to Max, one of my wonderful Russian students, last night: "I'm very much for equal rights between men and women, I have very strong views on it, but one thing that I will say about women, is that I will never, ever go shopping with one, ever again!
They look in about 50 shops, then after hours of trailing me around, ignoring me, getting me to be a human clothes holder, they go back to the first shop and buy the first thing that they saw!"
No woman, any time, anywhere, will ever get me to go shopping with her, ever again.
Actually, filthy habits are to be seen everywhere, the amount of men who go to public toilets and don't wash their hands, is disgusting; then I look in horror at the door handle, and realise there's only me in the room. And it's a pull handle so I can't use my foot to push it.
Oh they're vile pigs who were dragged up.

I think you wanted to make a stronger imperative (ie. stronger than don't tell me), so don't you tell me! is what you need. "You don't tell me" sounds like "I wish you would tell me."

Ugh! Is your colleague even conscious of that?
Have a nice day, friends!
Shall do! :)
