Nerves पूरे शरीर की हर feeling को ले जाती हैं। जब कोई आपकी nerves पर चढ़ जाए और उन्हें दबाता रहे, तो आप चिढ़ जाते हैं। इसलिए get on one's nerves यानी किसी को बार-बार परेशान करना।

Nerves carry every feeling in the body. When someone climbs onto your nerves and keeps pressing them, you become irritated, so getting on someone's nerves means annoying them again and again.
