Ep. 274: Why This Mess Makes You So Angry

Send us Fan Mail

You walk into the kitchen.

There's a cup on the counter.

Mail beside it.

A package that needs to be returned.

Someone's shoes are in the middle of the floor.

The dishwasher is clean but hasn't been emptied.

There's a water bottle sitting three feet from the sink. Three feet. Not even far.

And you can feel it happening before you've even set your own bag down.

You are getting angry.

Not mildly annoyed. Not a little bothered.

Angry.

And almost immediately, another thought follows right behind it:

Why am I getting this worked up over a stupid water bottle?

Why can't I just ignore it?

Why does this bother me so much when apparently nobody else in this house even sees it?

And then maybe you get irritated with yourself for being irritated. Because really — it's a water bottle. It's some mail. It's a pair of shoes. It's just stuff.

Except maybe it isn't.

What is it then? 

Well. We’ll talk about it today!
