Fit of petty annoyance (4)
I believe the answer is:
huff
'fit of petty annoyance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for huff that I've seen before include "Pique - remove from board" , "fit of anger" , "Fit of pique" , "Take forfeited draughts man" , "Fit of irritation" .)
