We all have them—the tiny things that really shouldn’t bother us, but somehow drive us absolutely crazy. In this episode of We Are the Hansons, we’re talking about the little everyday annoyances, weird habits, family quirks, and ridiculous pet peeves that can turn an otherwise perfectly normal day into, “WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THAT?!” From the things our spouses do to the stuff our kids do—and even the annoying habits we know we’re guilty of ourselves—nothing is off limits. It’s funny, it’s relatable, and it’s probably going to start a few arguments in your house too. So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and join the Hanson family for Things That Shouldn’t Annoy Us… But Absolutely Do.
