A boy asked his father what the difference was between aggravation, irritation, and frustration. Dad picks up the Phone and dials a number. When the phone is answered, he asks, "Can I speak to Alf, please?" "No! There's no one called Alf here." The call is terminated. "That's irritation," said Dad. He picked up the phone again, dialled the same number and asked for Alf again. "No - there's no one here called Alf. Go away. If you call again I shall telephone the police." End of conversation. "That's aggravation," said Dad. "Dad, what's frustration?" Dad picks up the phone and dials a third time. The same person picks up the phone. Dad says, "Hello. This is Alf. Has anyone left any messages for me?"
