Misplaced modifier. Dangling participle.“The noise is driving me, living in this house, buggy”; or, better, “the noise in this house is driving me buggy.”We’ll skip the part about your already being a bug and hence buggy.
But as I remember, a dangling participle is not incorrect grammar. Some people just don’t like them.
I believe it’s your. The possessive because milquetoast possesses the quality of being a bug.
You guys make me happy that I didn’t learn all the rules of grammar. I’d rather spend my brain power on something useful. Like Candy Crush.
