In this context, "ticked" is short for "ticked off", which in America means
"angry" or "irritated".  I think in Britain "ticked off" is a transitive
verb phrase meaning "berated".
Another American form of the same thing is "[expletive deleted] off", which has a
different meaning in Britain also, nicht Wahr?
