more creative alternatives for 'that really gripes my ass'? [on hold]
What are some more artful or creative alternatives for 'that really gripes my ass'?
It's an informal (vulgar) expression (idiom) to indicate that something really bothers you. Another way of saying it is 'that really bites my ass'.
Here are examples of usage:
That jerk really bites my ass.
It really bites my ass when he comes in here everyday and asks me what time I got in.
Another expression (more along the lines of what I'm looking for) is 'that really frosts my cookies'.

I'm American, and have also never heard this phrase. Could you use it in context? I could make a guess as to what it might be, but I could very easily be wrong.

With an idiom like this, you can really play around yourself with various analogies.
Here are a few I've heard in use before:
That rubs me the wrong way / That rubs my fur the wrong way - suggests anything from unease to being really bothered.
That ruffles my feathers - suggests being bothered or flustered.
That bunches my knickers / That twists my panties in a knot / other variants - suggests being bothered to the point of discomfort or anger. (Also, see this well-written answer!)
