Welcome to English in a Minute!
Some plants, like roses, have thorns. They are sharp and can really hurt! Uh oh, I hope Anna and Jonathan are okay.

VO: Thorn in My Side
J: So, Bob wants you to re-do the weekly meeting notes.
A: Taking notes is such a thorn in my side.
J: Oh, and he wants you to color-code all the questions and answers.
A: Do you know what else is a thorn in my side?
J: Bob?
A: Bob. Yeah.

If someone is a thorn in your side, they continue to cause problems for you. Anything that is annoying or troublesome can be called a thorn in your side. Anything or anyone. Like Bob.
