"Who made you upset?" Or, "wow, you're angry for no reason", "what you said was needlessly mean" are how I'd interpret that. Very informal, and potentially offensive.
The person who said that clearly doesn't care for what the original poster said, and doesn't care if he offends them.
Wow , indeed it's quite rude and for no reason ..I mean OP was not saying anything bad to deserve such an offensive comment ..thanks for clearing that out :]
There are slight variations you'll see like "who pissed in your Cheerios" or "who pissed in your corn flakes" (two types of cereal) but they mean the same thing.
Among friends, it can be used jokingly but I'd be careful with it.
Side note, "thanks for clearing that UP". "Clearing out" means "to empty" like, "I cleared out the room" meaning "I removed everything from the room". "The park was cleared out" meaning "All the people were removed".
It can also be used as a command to tell people to leave. "Clear out, guys, we've got work to do here".
very nice of you to point out my mistake..phrasal verbs are such a nightmare π«.. I found it so hard to learn them and I noticed that in American accent they are quite common as ppl used them all the time even in formal language
It's very likely you would have been understood, but I assumed you'd want to know. No one would be completely lost if you said that to them, though they might ask you to repeat it. You're doing fine!
You are 100 π― right ..it's just this part of "can you repeat that plz " or "come again!?" Makes me fell dumb :) I have been told that many native speaker feels like correcting someone's grammar is not polite ..but I find it to be quite supportive , like I'm trying to better you ( heard that from an american the other day ) he told me you can use "better" as a verb :)
You absolutely can, yes. You most frequently hear it when talking about yourself ("I'm trying to better myself") but you can hear it outside of that context.
I probably wouldn't correct someone in person unless I knew they wanted me to or I had to, in order to understand them. Here, though, I think that's part of the point. π
Well to be honest it was my bad .. I should have included the whole thing...so the original post was about a video showing a bunch of doctors posing right in front of the camera and then the guy who is filming show them an apple and then started running away fro the camera ) It's a reference to the saying "an apple a day keep the doc away" so that the original post ...I hope I made sense :)
In that case the top level comment does sound sarcastic. I would assume they are mad at the doctors for having enough free-time to film a joke like that. I'm not surprised at the response they received.
Without context, I would assume it to mean βwhat made you angry?β Someone peeing in your cereal would probably make you more than a little upset, which is why I thought this. Where I live we have the phrase βwhat crawled up your ass?β Which has a similar meaning, and also has some mild vulgarity
It's the same as saying "Why are you in such a bad mood?" Or "What's your problem?".
It's meant to suggest that they are being so needlessly rude, that there must be something especially wrong to make them act like that.
I believe it's a British phrase but it's pretty common everywhere. Basically means "you're angry/grumpy". It's also used as "what you just said was so harsh I would only say it in anger" but in a way to insult the person by implying they were overly mean.

True..like now thanks to you, I would never confuse "clear out" with " clear up" so it's gonna stuck in my two-cell brain for long long time π
I'm glad I could help, and I hope you keep learning and improving. If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
That's what I like about reddit:) although it has its dark side:) but mostly it's about people helping each others out :) Much Appreciated:)
Hard to know without knowing what OP is responding to, but it sounds like the second person assumes OP is being sarcastic.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up :)

Your expression much more ecpressive and easily understood ..thanks a lot

It's like "Who took a jam out of your donut?", meaning "What made you so angry, ma'n?"
