I would like you to suppose that there is a boy who is very mischievous. He bothers everyone. What would we say "everybody was (I don't know which word to use here?) of him." I want to say that he was a kind of trouble for everyone."Please check.
 
He is a trouble to everyone. This is in active voice.

Everyone has been troubled by him. This is in passive voice.

If you use past tense as in 'everybody was ....of him' it would mean that he is no more troubling anybody.

He is a nuisance to everyone.
 
How about "Everybody was sick and tired of him"?
 
How about 'Everybody was fed up with him'?
 
How about 'Everybody had had enough of him'?
 
I guess he means everybody was careful of him because he was mischievous and making trouble.
 
Thank you guys for the replies. Now I have a lot of options to choose from.
