which is correct, angry at me or angry with me?
  

Top answer

Actually, both are correct. The feeling of each is slightly different, though. "Angry at" can sound more informal, in my opinion, but it also sounds more natural in a casual conversation.

  • "Angry at" also sounds like "mad at," which has the same meaning but is even more informal ("He's mad at me" and "he's angry at me" mean the exact same thing).
  • "Angry with" is a more formal way to describe the situation, and is more usually used in a detached way.
