Who Am I, Who Are You, Who Are We?

Why are pet peeves so annoying? What is it about a minor annoyance that can get under your skin, unsettling you in the worst ways, and all without hardly an effort? For some it's traffic, for others it's wordsmithing, but one thing's for sure - everybody has a pet peeve, and pet peeves are here to stay. Ken invites Zach Lewis back onto the show to talk about minor vexes, annoyances, and the peeves listeners shared before digging into the history of just why pet peeves are so universal - even if we can't stand them.
