Not necessarily mad, but definitely annoyed.
Hmm. I can't really agree with Sharon on this. When you flip out, you not only get angry, but you ACT angry - you yell, rant, rave, maybe even throw things. There are definitely actions associated with your emotional response.
Yup, "flip out" implies visibly and demonstrably angry.
