My Bug List

Here's a list of what bugs me through my day to day life and why they exist:

1. When picking out a new headset for your desired system you can't try it out and end up returning it.

•  Why do they do this? Probably because they don't want to let their product out of the box because someone may break it or they'll have to clean it afterwards (health issue).

2. When you're trying to use the school's internet with a wireless connection but it's slow because other people have their WiFi on (which they are not supposed to).

•   Why? I guess people like they're own connection but do not realize how it negatively affects everyone else plus they don't care about the rules.

3. When people come back to their hall late at night and decide to sing really loudly because they think their the next big thing and don't care about the people trying to sleep.

• Why? Some people just like to hear their own voice and like to show off. I mean its fine to show off but please don't do it around midnight. 

4. When the neighbors are taking a bath or a shower and it sounds like the pipes in the walls are about to come out.

•  Why? The pipes may need to be replaced or tightened.

5. When you're waiting for the bus and it finally comes but it passes right by you. 

• Why? Well, the driver probably didn't see me but I'm more than six feet tall so I don't know how they could miss me.

6. When you're in the middle of doing very important school work but your computer decides to freeze and it loses all your work.

• Why? I should probably get a new computer or get something fixed.

7. Around lunchtime when I make myself a sandwich with my toaster oven I have to bend down and look under the sandwich at the bread to know when to take it out.

•  Why? Each time I make a sandwich the timing is different for when the bread gets to the perfect crisp.

8. That the food at the POD Market at Beaty Towers costs so much but at Walmart, which is a good hour walk away from me, is about three or four times cheaper.

• Why? The POD Market is on UF Campus so it costs more, but two dollars for one Ramen? Come on.

9. When I'm walking down the sidewalk but the people in front of me decide to make an impenetrable line that I can't walk past and covers the whole sidewalk.

• Why? Some people really don't care about others needs but their own. So they don't think about the other people trying to walk past until the passerby walks around them.

10. Walking down the sidewalk from class and instead of a little bit of fresh air all you get is a mouthful of exhaust fumes.

• Why? Well, the exhaust fumes from passing cars.

11. When Cheez-It crackers try to tell you  that they are "made with 100% real cheese" but another brand goes and says "Cheese Nips has real cheddar cheese. Original Cheez-It doesn't."

• Why? They are being very competitive so one may slander the other.

12. When you are trying to do laundry but every washer and drier is full but no one is there to pick them up or move them and you have no idea what to do.

• Why? Not everyone sets a timer for when their laundry is finished washing or drying.

13. When you're trying to talk within a group of people but you are constantly being cut off from speaking because someone decides they are more important and no one hears you.

• Why? Someone might just have an ego or maybe you just simply spoke too soon or too late.

14. People who just throw their trash on to the ground even if there is a trash can nearby.

• Why? They love to litter? They probably just think everything through.

15. People who decide to come to a lecture class but continue to moan, sigh, and a few minutes later you hear their heavy breathing as they are now sleeping.

• Why? They come for the in class questions that everyone has to answer if they want credit.

16. When people project their own life story on you when you have a problem but their life story as nothing to do with your problem.

• Why? People want to tell you their problems and probably don't care about your own even if you asked first.

17. When you're watching a movie in the theater and people laugh obnoxiously at something that wasn't even funny and then you can't really hear the movie.

• Why? Some people don't know how to react to something so they just laugh.  

18. When people say "Wow, you are tall!" when I'm walking around (usually anywhere I go).

• Why? I guess people never have seen a tall person before. I'm an oddity to them.

19. When people take my things without asking me and don't tell me that they are taking it after they used it.

• Why? Others grew up without proper manners?

20. When people don't give you personal space or know what personal space is.

• Why? Some people don't take into consideration others personal space and may be oblivious to others needs. Ignorant because of how or where they grew up.

       Reflection

       When I was coming up with the bug list, the first thirteen bugs were somewhat easy to think about as I went through the day but afterwards it became a little more difficult. I usually don't care about much of the stuff that bothers me so they didn't exactly come to me quickly at ease. After I finally hit twenty bugs I felt as though most of them bugged me but the rest kind of just irritated me only a little than how badly they would others.
