Irritation, Aggravation & Frustration !

Last evening when one of my colleague came to my seat for a chat, he complained that he was very much frustrated and upset with certain things happenning around him.. While talking about this we used some jargons like frustration, aggravation, irritation and all other '.....ations'

Thatz when we were talking abt the difference between frustration, aggravation and irritation..when all finally conveys the same meaning..

Remembering abt this incident which I read somewhere, we tried to find out by doing that to test the differences in a LIVE scenario.. :)

I picked up the phone and dialled a landline number at random..When the phone was answered i asked

'Can I speak to Ms.Smitha, please?'

'No, there is no one called Smitha here.". The person hangs up

"Thats called irritation" ..I told my colleague...

I picked up the phone again, redialled and asked for Smitha again...

"No, there is no one here called Smitha..Hang up..Don't call again"

"Thats called aggravation"...I told my colleague

"Then what is that you call frustration"...asked my curious colleague

I picked the phone again and dialled the same number and said..

"Hello..This is Smitha here. Did i receive any phone calls ???"

Though i frustrated, irritated and aggravated the receiver of the call at the other end, I was able to bring some smile in my colleague's face finally !!!! :))

**Whoever is the receiver of that crank call.I apologise sincerely ":P **
