If something 'drives you up the wall', it makes you very irritated and angry.
For example:
This computer is really driving me up the wall; it keeps crashing!
Shopping for jeans drives her up the wall. She can never find a pair that fit her.
You are driving me up the wall! Will you stop singing that awful song now?

ABOUT ME
At present I am focused on the cognitive and cultural study of the phrasal verbs trying to link both the literal and metaphorical meaning. There is an underlying mental image that permeates the different linguistic expressions that come from our daily contact with reality and is the base to understand and master the meaning of the constructions with particles. This approach is helping students to understand and extend the use of these verbs without the effort of memorising every sense of the Phrasal verb.
