Get Your Goat

Meaning: To aggravate someone(= annoy you)

The saying "Get Your Goat" supposedly originated from the early horse racing days, where goats were kept with nervous race horses to keep them calm before the race, and if you wanted to beat the competition you would get their goat causing their horse to become agitated and unable to race. (from: http://goathavenfarm.tripod.com/) 
Don't let him bother you, he's just trying to get your goat.
