inutilement

Said in one French podcast line.

• Je n'avais pas été impolie, mais j'avais été inutilement un peu sèche auprès de personnes qui essayaient de faire leur travail ou qui avaient une émulation dans l'immeuble et qui se sentaient utiles et tout ça.

  I had not been rude, but I had unnecessarily been a bit brusque with people who were trying to do their job or who had a sense of competition in the building and felt useful and all that.
