Question "...always on my case..."

If somebody says "why are you always on my case?", would it mean you are concerning yourself too much about what they do?

Default Re: "...always on my case..."

It means someone is constantly nagging or bothering you.

"My mom is always on my case about keeping my room clean."
"Ever since I graduated from college, my dad has been on my case about finding a job."
"I can't wait for the weekend; my boss has been on my case all week."
