Gate Agent was extremely pushy trying to board us. Lots of bags and passenger assistance needed. Left full exit row to assist elderly woman 5 rows past exit row then wait for complete boarding to go brief [the exit row passengers]. Had to arrange lots of bags to keep from checking plus unusual amount of folks going to back lavatory and interrupting.When aisle finally cleared passenger stopped me to put backpack in overhead and completely blocked; passed exit rows without briefing. After demo; passenger in exit row called me over and said they were not briefed. I briefed then. This has never happened before.
Flight Attendant reported not briefing the exit row passengers due to being distracted.
