惹惱 (冒犯)某人, (通常無意)

Comment:
rub someone the wrong way ~ American English

This saying came from the idea that if you stroke the cats the right way (In the direction the fur lies) it feels good to you and them; stroke them the wrong way (against the direction of the fur) and you'll probably get scratched.
