No wonder I'm getting bent out of shape!" Suddenly a voice cried out: "Hey, there's someone here carrying a cactus (仙人掌)!" At that moment, everyone got really bent out of shape and they wouldn't let the lift go on until Angela got out with her plant. To be bent out of shape is to be upset or angry.
