Here are a few little phrasal dandies for your spanish speaking enjoyment

me cae bien - I like him-her OR we hit it off (this is a good subsitute for the me gusta someone, which means that you LIKE someone, if you know what i mean)

me queda bien - it fits me well (this can refer to clothing or a role, like being a dad)

me encaja - it fits me, refering to a role, like being a dad

me choca - it affects me, it really gets to me

Me voy - I'm getting out of here (?)

I think Ben mentioned in a podcast that he equates the sounds of horses with a policeman on horseback moving toward him in a threatening manner during a demonstration (or something like that) - and Ben said "Me voy, me voy!" so the policeman would know that Ben was leaving.

Am I mis-remembering this? ˇAyúdeme!

From wordreference.com:
1 (marcharse) to go away, leave: me voy, I'm off

me toca las narices - It annoys me.

Excellent expression, very descriptive! :) I've also heard

me da la lata

to describe "it annoys me."
