Annoys; annoyances (7)

I believe the answer is:

hassles

This clue is a double definition.

'annoys' is the first definition.
(hassling is a kind of annoying)

'annoyances' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for hassles that I've seen before include "Problems" , "Annoys continually" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
