Each week of 2017 we present an English idiom.
“a pain in the neck”: something or someone that is frustrating or difficult to deal with; Nervensäge, ein Krampf sein, ein Dorn im Auge sein
Example 1: Dealing with travel expenses following a business trip is always a pain in the neck.
Example 2: Generally he’s a nice guy, but he can be a pain in the neck if you don’t do things exactly as he thinks they should be done.
