Have a bone to pick with sb
It means you have a small problem, complaint, or issue with someone that you want to discuss.
Examples:
1- Imagine your friend keeps showing up late. One day, you might say, “Hey, I have a bone to pick with you — you’re always late.”
2- Or at work, if a colleague forgets something important, you might say it in a light, slightly humorous way: “I’ve got a bone to pick with you about that report.”
