This rather common verb phrase is used referring to an angry person overreacting to a trifling matter, specifically to something that someone has said or done.
The last instance of "bite someone's head off" I came across was recently (late 2006), in the third season of an exhilarating Warner Bros. sitcom created by Chuck Lorre, “Two and a half Men”, which I have the pleasure to subtitle in French for the channel Canal Plus. In the ninth episode, entitled “Madame and her special friend”, the uptight Alan Harper (starred by the outrageously funny John Cryer) shouts in frustration at his whimsical brother Charlie (both a homonymous clone of and an eponymous role for Charlie Sheen). The reason for this fit of anger is that Charlie does not keep his promise to “give it a rest” on the jokes his makes about Norma (starred by Chloris Leachman, who needs not be introduced), Alan’s elderly date (hence the title). Charlie, judging that his sibling makes yet again a mountain out of an anthill, retorts:
“You don’t have to bite my head off !”.
Wether in or out of this context, the exaggerated therefore comical catch phrase may be thus paraphrased: “I do not deserve such a harsh punishment for such a petty mistake !”. I hope this explanation will be of any help to you.
“You don’t have to bite my head off !”.

Sadly, no one like this exists. The shit you just said is understood by 0.00001% of people, a.k.a. you. Also, 0.00001% of people give a fuck, thus proving my point. If I were you I would suggest trying to get some friends you absolute loner. Also, congratulations. You have just got a world record. You got it for having no one give a fuck about what you said. Bravo👏.

to let the air out of their balloon, to mock/make fun of them. Customarily, shortened to just take the piss.
From the movie Snatch:
"take the piss out of someone" is abbreviated to "take the piss"
Boris the Blade: (mutters vague insults at Tony)
Bullet Tooth Tony: Don't take the piss (i.e., out of me), Boris!
Boris: Fuck you!
Tony: (empties the magazine of his Desert Eagle .50 into Boris)
