For another person to "get your goat" is a phrase meaning to rile you up, to both upset and excite you, or to coerce you into taking action via emotional manipulation.
"They told me this sort of guy would get my goat if I let his jokes get to me, but he actually rode it in when he walked into the room wearing the exact same suit with a much cooler tie and boots."
