Do Your Annoying Household Habits Reflect Your Personality? Are you a Jerk For Leaving A Sip of Orange Juice In the Container? Are You A Visionary If You Mop the Floor With Your Sock?

from The Best Paragraph I've Read... · host Zac & Don

the Best Paragraph I've Read: Your ability to make life more difficult is unmatchable. If an easy solution is available—and I mean a mind-numbingly obvious one—you decide that maybe the fix can’t be so simple and that you’d better let things marinate for a few days, at which point, yes, they’ve now become the nasty thing that you imagined, seeped in a rancid cesspool of indecision and procrastination (and, literally, rotting food). By the time you get ready to take any form of action, someone has come along and done the cleanup for you, which is what you wanted all along. This paragraph comes from a humor essay in the New Yorker. The essay is titled: "Your Personality, Explained By Your Annoying Household Habits." The essay is written by Nicole Rose Whitaker. you can read the full essay here: https://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-shouts/your-personality-explained-by-your-annoying-household-habits Zac and Don discuss each annoying habit and its personality type from the essay. They discuss which habit and personality type they most resemble. They also talk about other habits and behaviors that they use to judge people.
