bigote's version states I got tired, ....

I would traslate it as "Tengo un problema (contigo) y quiero que lo discutamos"

"Me cabreaste y tengo que discutirlo contigo." I would say. It's kind of like, "You got my goat, and I have to talk to you about it.".

For clarification, Chileno's and Don Bigote's difference in usage of the verb cabrear relates to regional usage.

Yes and no. What does exactly entails to "have a bone with somebody"? - chileno, Oct 23, 2015
"I have a bone to pick with you." is an idiomatic saying that means "You said or did something that I don't like and I want to talk to you about it." - glenvally, Oct 23, 2015
