For crying out loud!

Something you say when you're annoyed or upset, angry. Used to express annoyance or astonishment. It is a euphemism for "For Christ's sake".

Oh, for crying out loud, why won't you listen to me!

For crying out loud, can't you do anything right?

No, I haven't bought her a present yet. Her birthday is a month away, for crying out loud.

Let's get going, for crying out loud!

For crying out loud! Can't you leave me alone even for a minute!
