Nota cultural
This is the polite version of a much stronger expression ('rompipalle'/'rompicoglioni'). 'Rompiscatole' is safe to use in almost any informal setting — even in front of grandma. It's playful and affectionate when directed at friends or family members who are being annoying in a lovable way.
