What to say in your language when someone is getting on your nerves a little?
Heard a good one in Dutch yesterday: "Ik plak je achter het behang." Which means "I stick you behind the wall-paper." Haha.

if someone is getting on your nerves in italian you can say "non mi rompere le scatole" which means literally "don't break my boxes" (!?!?!?)

Well, all people gave you some phrases in a official language(slang or correct but official). Now I wanna give a pearl, if you accept it. I am Italian and I live near Milano, here are for you some Milanese dialect phrase:
"A ma na sbatt i ball" "I hit my balls" "I don't care of...."
"Ah mah nah zbaht ee bahl"
"Te voeuri on ben de matt" "I want to you a well like a fool" "I love so much" "Teh veù-ree oun behn deh maht" (eu like in 'shirt')
"Te set propri on ciula" "You are really a stupid" "Teh seh' pròh-pree oun choù-lah"
"Varda me l'è bell el me ninin" "Look at my baby how beautiful is." "Và hr-dah meh leh behl ehl meh neè-neen"
"Ciao, se vedomm doman" "Hi, we will see tomorrow" "Chà h-ou, seh vèh-doum dou-mà hn"

In french :
"ça m'en bouche un coin" means I'm amazed (or "knock for six colloquial"!!!) but if you really translate, it is : It stuffs me a corner
Tu vas pas en chier une pendule = you are not going to raise the roof (word by word : you're not going to **** a wall clock)
Tirer les vers du nez = to compel someone to tell what he know, word by word = take the worms of one's nose

In Czech it is said:
Lije jako z konve. = It's raining as if from a watering can - It's raining cats and dogs.
Chodit kolem horké kaše. = to walk around hot porriage - to beat around the bush.

In Italy we have many dialects and local expressions. For "getting on my nerves" you could say:
-mi prudono le mani = my hands itch (I feel like punching him/her)
-mi asciughi =you dry me
-mi fai uscire di testa = you make me go out of my head (drive me crazy)
-rompiscatole= boxes breaker

Turkish:
"Damarima basma!" (don't step on my vein)
"Giciklik etme" (don't be an xxxhole)
"Dayak isteme" (don't ask for a beating)
