Definitions

    To annoy, distress, or anger. US, idiomatic, transitive

    "It is hard to remember a talented player who so comprehensively bothered, annoyed, outraged and just plain torqued off the customers quite like Owens."

Etymology

Possibly an alteration of tick off. Metaphorical use of mechanical verbs (including torque, jack, and grind) with people and their emotions as the direct object is also seen elsewhere, as with for example torque up, grind one's gears, and jacked up.
