Something bothersome is a little . It gets in your way or nags at you, but it is not a disaster — a bothersome noise from next door, a bothersome cough that will not leave. The word is milder than terrible or awful, and a bit softer, even a bit older-sounding, than . Though actually, you will still meet it in writing; in speech many people just say , a nuisance, or a pain. It usually describes the thing, not your feelings: a bothersome question. If you say you are bothered, that is how you feel; if you say something is bothersome, that is what the thing is.
