ticked off

Mad about something

Ticked off means annoyed or angry: I'm really ticked off about the parking ticket.

The phrase serves as a milder alternative to pissed off, suitable for contexts where stronger language feels inappropriate.

To tick someone off is to irritate them: It ticks me off when people cut in line.
