Worry about bad fluff and get agitated (9)
I believe the answer is:
carfuffle
'get agitated' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'worry about bad fluff' is the wordplay.
'worry' becomes 'care' (eg without a care means without a worry).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'bad' indicates an anagram.
'fluff' with letters rearranged gives 'fuffl'.
'care' placed around 'fuffl' is 'CARFUFFLE'.
'and' acts as a link.
