A: She thinks I'm trying to get off with Dorothy, my secretary. She 's crazy. She won't even let me go to my evening class in computer programming. She just doesn't trust me.

B: Oh, what a pain in the bum.

Could you tell me what "what a pain in the bum" means? Thanks a lot.

'Bum' is British slang for the buttocks. The expression 'a pain in the arse' (another word for buttocks) is quite common, meaning that it's an unpleasant situation.

"Get off with Dorothy"--"Go to bed with Dorothy".

His wife is extremely jealous of other women and she doesn't trust her husband at all.
