Monroe and his wife have to deal with the fact that her mother calls their house at least 10 times a day, usually with no important reason for the call. She is a lonely individual, and her calls seem to be about finding something to do. Monroe finds her calls bothersome, but he tries not to let them get to him because deep down he really does love his mother-in-law. In this case, Monroe's mother-in-law might be best described as a(n) __________.
	stressor
	hassle
	major life event
	eustress inducer

If he has to answer her calls and talk to her, is the action not a hassle?  Just my guess.

I also say hassle. All of the other ones don't really make sense for this situation.
