Mr.Torsten

I don't know understand the meaning of ''He started off at me again simply.'' It means ''He complained me again'' ?

I don't know the context, but it sounds as if someone was shouting at someone else.

Ms. Jamie
Thank you for your response. I can image the situation.
Full sentence is as follows.
He started off at me again simply because I had forgotten to lock the back door after I came home.

Regared,
