Explanation:
This is how Hainnan Normal University explains it to their students:
(http://www.hainnu.edu.cn/english/QW/QW02.HTM)
for crying out loud这个词组从字面上看,好像有大喊大叫的意思,不过在使用上,for crying out loud就跟for god's sake一样,都是表示说话者负面的评价,犹如中文里「搞什么名堂!」、「乱七八糟!」这类在语气中带有忿忿不平的话,同时暗示着说话者的不耐烦。

And more....
(感叹词) 真是的; 拜托你好不好
(用以强调请求或命令) "唉呀!" "我的天啊!"
(表示惊愕,意外,轻蔑等意) "真是的!"
(表恼怒,不耐烦)
For crying out loud, stop nagging me about it!拜托你不要老跟我咕哝那件事!
For crying out loud! Who did this? 唉呀!这是谁干的好事?!


太多太多了!!! 眼花缭乱吧???? I think now you have a few to choose from and most of them fit into the context here pretty well. :))))
