If a shorter person stands in front of you, you are able to see something that is behind that person by looking over the person's head. Or maybe the person is taller than you, and so you stand on a chair. Again, you can look over the person's head.  'To tell someone off' means to reprimand them, to express your annoyance, to complain about their behaviour.
