Aggravation

Aggravation for me is usually one step past being annoyed. There are several things that aggravate me; here are some of my faves.

• When people ask questions, only to answer them themselves.

e.g. “Hey, what are you doing this weekend? Oh. Nice! Well I’m…blahblahblah”

• Pretty much anything with the Tapout logo
• When Nicki Minaj sings like a fool
• When trash liners break
• When I leave an effect pedal plugged in and my expensive 9v battery silently withers away

AGGRAVATION.

That’s kind of just a top five. In no particular order, I might add. Other things that aggravate me, (although I’m guilty of it too) are when nobody answers questions in class that everyone knows the answer to. Had to throw in that shout out for our composition class. Yeesh. Anyway, it’s probably good to get a little aggravated now and then. If you’re down with everything, that doesn’t leave much room to move up. Now that I’m remembering I started this blog with a theme of guitar and musicianship, aggravation can be pretty common in everyday practice. Not lately for me, but every now and then there seems to be nothing better to do than get pissed.

“Hey! I used to know this song! Let me just rememb-”  Aaaand it’s gone.

But… I played that song all the time. Guys, I promise!

So those are a few things that grind my gears. What are some things that get you aggravated? Let me know in a comment so I can get busy pushing your buttons.
