The phrase "drove up the wall" means to irritate or annoy someone intensely, but sometimes we need to express the opposite sentiment. When someone acts kindly, positively or admirably, we might use antonyms such as "made my day," "put a smile on my face" or "lifted my spirits." Similarly, we may use phrases like "was a breeze," "a pleasure to work with," or "a piece of cake" when referring to tasks that were easy and enjoyable to accomplish. Alternatively, if someone is effortlessly calm or collected, we might use antonyms such as "cool as a cucumber" or "unperturbed" instead of "drove up the wall.
