The word "mad" in this context means to go crazy or to become annoyed. This word in this context is often used in the UK. Ex: The bad weather here drives me mad. To "annoy" has a similar meaning as "mad" in this context. It means to make someone slightly irritated. However in other contexts, the word "mad" may mean to make someone angry. Ex: My little brother annoys me. "Angry" is the strongest word out of all of these. It means that someone is very strongly annoyed, irritated or mad. Ex: She is angry with me because I lied to her.
