"Bent out of shape" basically means to be angry or annoyed, but would you agree that it is commonly used in situations where the anger is unnecessary, inappropriate or out of proportion?
There are exceptions, I would say, but the expression seems to be most common in those kind of situtations. Do other people feel that "bent out of shape" carries this inference? Thanks much!

bent out of shape means to have a hard time with your emotions, when we cannot control them any more and we're nervous without a reason
so, you're right, it's unnecessary situation
