miffed
A bit sore
Miffed means slightly annoyed or offended—irritated but not truly angry.
The word suggests minor displeasure rather than serious upset: She was miffed that no one remembered her birthday.
It's informal and somewhat understated, often used when acknowledging that the annoyance is petty or disproportionate.
