peeved
In a snit
Peeved means annoyed or irritated, typically over something minor.
It suggests mild displeasure rather than serious anger: She was peeved that no one remembered her birthday.
The word carries a slightly old-fashioned, almost quaint quality—being peeved sounds less harsh than being pissed off.
