〜に〜られる (迷惑の受身): passive of annoyance; something happened to me

Says that something done by someone else affected me badly, even when the verb has no direct object.

Subject (the affected person) は Doer に 〜(ら)れる. Can be used with intransitive verbs: 雨に降られた (I was rained on), 子どもに泣かれた. Often the speaker is troubled. Compare direct passive, where an object becomes the subject (私は先生にほめられた).
