The phrase "fit to be tied" means being extremely angered or upset about a situation. It comes from the literal meaning of being so upset that one feels like they need to be physically restrained or tied down to control their emotions.

The common phrase is "Fit to be tied." :: Cassell's Dictionary of Slang says that it is mid-19th century in origin.

However, given that in the mid-19th century the straitjacket was in common use for restraining mental patients, I think it's very likely that that is indeed what the phrase is meant to imply.
