Things That Aggravate

Car Alarms.They are nothing more than a sound to let everyone around know the owner forgot to turn off alarm before opening door. I've never actually seen an alarm go off cuz car was being broke into.

NO! The alarm goes off to alert that the car was being broke into. The suspect wouldn't know until it was too late and alarm went off. The alarm can't prvent the break in, it can only alert that it has happened.

yes, your right...with the majority of alarms it doesnt deter people from breaking in...it only deters them from stealing once they are in...

actually it deters them from stealing everything, they still usually get 1 thing for their effort (but at least with an alarm they dont get: stereo, amps, subs, ipod, wallet, sunglasses)

Main Entry:

Pronunciation:
\ˈa-grə-ˌvāt\
Function:
transitive verb
Inflected Form(s):

1530

1obsolete a: to make heavy : burden b: increase2: to make worse, more serious, or more severe : intensify unpleasantly <problems have been aggravated by neglect>3 a: to rouse to displeasure or anger by usually persistent and often petty goading b: to produce inflammation in
usage Although aggravate has been used in sense 3a since the 17th century, it has been the object of disapproval only since about 1870. It is used in expository prose <when his silly conceit?about his not-very-good early work has begun to aggravate us ? William Styron> but seems to be more common in speech and casual writing <a good profession for him, because bus drivers get aggravated ? Jackie Gleason (interview, 1986)> <& now this letter comes to aggravate me a thousand times worse ? Mark Twain (letter, 1864)>. Sense 2 is far more common than sense 3a in published prose. Such is not the case, however, with aggravation and aggravating. Aggravation is used in sense 3 somewhat more than in its earlier senses; aggravating has practically no use other than to express annoyance.
