The most Lojbanic thing to say angrily at someone is "le'o", which means directly "I am speaking this to you angrily!"  The word "le'o" appears in this short film by Timos and Cizra:

Most of what I would actually say in Lojban if I were angry would be attitudinals.  ".o'onai" means anger or frustration, so that's a good one.  ".uinai" unhappiness.  ".oi" pain, perhaps qualifying it to ".oiro'a" social pain or ".oiro'i" emotional pain.  
 
.o'onai le'o .uinai mabla .oi .uinai .oiro'i .i ko co'e cai le'o .uinai .o'onairo'o 
 
".o'onairo'o"-- I feel angry on a physical level.  That seems like something worth bellowing.
