A boy asks his father to explain the differences among irritation, aggravation, and frustration.
Dad picks up the phone and dials a number at random.When the phone is answered he asks,
"Can I speak to Mike, please?"
"No! There's no one called Mike here." The person hangs up.
"That's irritation," says Dad.
He picks up the phone again, dials the same number and asks for Mike a second time.
"No, there's no one here called Mike. Go away. Don't call again"
"That's aggravation."
"Then what's 'frustration'?" asks his son.
The father picks up the phone and dials a third time:
"Hello, this is Mike. Have I received any phone calls?"
