Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, Hannah. You're right, "pissed off" came to my mind imediately, I was just wondering if native speakers could come up with something as original (or unusual). I used "those easily pissed off" which fits the text quite well. It's a company presentation, not a literary text and the client prefers clear meaning to linguistic innovation.

Asker: *immediately ... The text also implies that the author kind of looks down on those ill-tempered and the vulgar equivalent is then, IMHO, appropriate.
