That tidy little house belongs to an irascible [ɪˈɹæsəbəl] crank who never has a kind word for any of his neighbors.

irascible
adj [ɪˈɹæsəbəl]
Someone who is irascible is easily angered and annoyed.

From the Latin noun ira, meaning "anger." From ira, which is also the root of irate and ire, came the Latin verb irasci ("to become angry") and the related adjective irascibilis, the latter of which led to the French word irascible. English speakers borrowed the word from French in the 16th century.
