yelling at
Shouting in anger
Yelling at means directing raised-voice speech toward someone, typically in anger or frustration: Stop yelling at the kids.
The phrase implies criticism or rebuke rather than mere volume—you might yell to someone across a field, but yelling at them suggests confrontation.
My boss yelled at me for being late.
