Could that be translated more colloquially to "stop busting my balls"?
reminds me of a google review I saw once where a bar owner in Japan replied to a review and said something like "next time you are in town punch me in the face" which probably meant hit me up, but I loved it
I saved your comment to give myself another laugh in a few weeks. Amazing.
I think it could be. I'm not a native English speaker, so...
If it was meant in a "lay off me" or "get off my back" way, I think "stop busting my balls" would be an accurate translation
