why do you get your jones bothering me?
El mono. Manías.


Explanation:
Falta un poco de contexto.
¿Por qué coño me molestas con tus manías? en caso de ser drogadicto sería el mono, al menos en España.
Esta es la definición del Oxford: jones |dʒəʊnz| informal noun a fixation on or compulsive desire for someone or something, typically a drug; an addiction : a two-year amphetamine jones.
