A person who's usually kind of cool, but they turn your life into a nightmare every single day. They love turning tiny problems into huge disasters and never shut up about it.
My mom is a piece of work. She turned a broken lamp into a full-blown argument with the electric company.
My teacher is a piece of work. He made a simple math problem into a 30-minute lecture on the history of numbers.
My cousin is a piece of work. She turned my birthday into a 2-hour debate about which pizza place is better.
