Annotation:

"to get one's nose out of joint" (idiom) means to be upset or annoyed because you think you have not been treated well.

Such idioms usually still retain imagery related to their literal expression. What imagery would you say fits this one?

I guess the image might be of a contorted face (nose out of joint) because of annoyance at being badly treated or hard done by. I've never really had a specific image in my mind relating to this idiom.
