Common errors in English: usage of Angry and with, at.

Angry 

Incorrect : My father was angry against me. 

Correct : My father was angry with me.

Incorrect : He was angry with/for the Weather. 

Correct : He was angry at the weather.

Note: We become angry ‘with’ a person, but ‘at’ a thing. 
Like ‘angry’, Some other adjectives also take ‘with’ and ‘at’ after them. 

For example: 

She was annoyed with me.
She was annoyed at the rain.

I was vexed with her. 

I was vexed at her rudeness.


He was indignant with the beggar. 

He was indignant at my delay.

In each case, ‘with’ is followed by a person and ‘at’ is followed by a thing.
