Chafe

Something that rubs you the wrong way, and chafes you. Although your skin is not actually chafed, a person or disruption to a good situation, is a chafe.

A chafe can also be exclaimed as a buzz kill. "Oh, what a chafe! The dvd is scratched and right at my favorite part of the movie!"

Brett: I'm looking forward to dinner with you tonight!

Jennie: Listen, Roberta's in town, and I told her she can come, I hope that doesn't chafe you out.

Brett: No, that's okay- we're cool. I'd like to see Roberta- the more the merrier.
