The phrase often suggests strong frustration, used when someone or something is highly irritating.

Emotional Intensity

Best used in casual conversation. It may be too informal for professional or academic contexts.

Informal Use

Understand it's a metaphor; it doesn't mean someone is literally climbing a wall.

Implies a high level of annoyance, but not necessarily anger.

Typically refers to a sense of being overwhelmed or having a difficult time.

It's an exaggeration and not to be taken literally - nobody is actually 'going up' a wall.
