Brake nerve

When someone is braking while driving for what looks like for no reason, we can only attribute this as a side effect of picking their nose so hard and deep that they hit their "brake nerve".

"What's this fucker doing? He must have hit his brake nerve."

raw nerve

To "touch," "hit," "strike" a raw nerve - to upset someone by reminding him or her of a subject about which he or she has strong feelings.

1) Alex's mom recently died of lung cancer, so his sister hit a raw nerve by telling him that she had begun smoking.

2) Pam struck a raw nerve in Nick when she told him an anti-Semitic joke. Unbeknownst to Pam, Nick's grandmother died in the Holocaust.

3) Fat jokes touch a raw nerve in Samantha, who used to get made fun of in school for being overweight.
