Getting chewed out is still too straightforward

Bochku katit' - lit. "to roll a barrel."  Alt. katit' telegu - "to roll an ox-cart."  To express a grievance at or seek conflict with someone.  Used to describe the behavior of others, usually unprovoked and needless.  While usually not used to describe issues of mortal import, this phrase is the exact right tenor for neighborhood or workplace feuds.
