harrasking

'unintentionally' asking someone about an event or situation repeatedly, to the point that it becomes harrassment. Frequently used when the questioner is looking for an update or favor when they must know deep down that your answer has not changed since the last time they asked you...

Classic examples of harrasking questions are:
"are we there yet?"
"are you done yet?"
"are you sure....?"
