Bedeutung
To annoy, trouble, or harass someone greatly.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Tehran, this phrase is used almost as a punctuation mark for frustration. It's ubiquitous in cafes and university hallways. Filmmakers use this phrase to establish a character as 'down-to-earth' or from a lower-middle-class background. The hashtag #دهنم_سرویس is often used when Iranians tweet about the economy or internet speed. While historically more common among men, it is now used frequently by women in informal settings, though it still carries a slightly 'tougher' edge.
