What gets your knickers in a twist?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) March 17th, 2010

Isn’t that such a delightful phrase? It means to become overwrought or unnecessarily upset over a trivial matter. I don’t know if you can call yourself out on this—it probably takes a pretty self-aware person who doesn’t mind poking fun at themselves. Still, what really pushes your buttons? You know it’s ridiculous, but you can’t help yourself. You get all wound up.

Around here, I think some people get their knickers in a twist over trolls or NSFW questions and such. I, of course, never get my knickers in a twist, and it’s not because I’m not wearing any. Well, not that I ever wear knickers but you know what I mean. I’m just so calm cool and collected that nothing bothers me. Although, sometimes these questions complaining about questions really get my knickers…. Damn!
