It really, really depends on the context.
This means "Please don't tell me anything that might prove stressful for me":
PAMELA[whining]. Did you have to tell me they're all out there? I've got weak nerves. [faints]
This means "Don't be a smartass; I'm pretty irritable today":
PAMELA [threateningly]. Look, buster. You know I've got weak nerves. I can snap any moment. You keep annoying me like that, I'll strangle you.
The following means "She'll be getting on my nerves all the time. She's got a high-pitched gravelly voice. I hate her":
PAMELA[philosophically]. If Linda's going, I'm staying right here. I realize she's a riot and everything, but I've got weak nerves. I'm entitled to get some rest: I'm on vacation.
