This is Planet Money from NPR.
So, all right.
I was out on maternity leave for a while.
And I don't know, something about that time just made me view things in the world differently.
I was questioning why everything is the way that it even is.
Contemplating the big questions.
Like, why in the world do stores send me so many emails?
An email a day from every story I've ever bought anything from ever.
Why?
Things like that, you know?
So, okay, yeah, no, not the most important issues of our time.
But, like, that little pet peeve that just, like, gets you every single time you open your email.
I actually really need to know how bombarding us with email like this doesn't backfire on them.
Like, let's get to the bottom of this.
I was certain that other people at Planet Money also had little petty annoyances that,
once we understand them, could maybe make us less bitter about it all.
So I told everyone, come to me with your complaints.
Vent to me what is annoying you in the world that I can help make sense of.
And I'm just going to say, some of us really needed the catharsis.
James Sneed, you have a list.
