Post Tag: Assignment 2A-Bug list.
1. When someone is driving in front of you in the right lane but they are not turning right, so you have to wait for the light to turn green for them to drive straight so you can make your right turn instead of making a right on red.
WHY it exists: When you get your license they do teach you that you're allowed to turn right on red, but they don't teach you to stay towards the middle or left lane if you're not turning right.
2. The people who work at the clubhouse in my apartment complex can't help you if you have any questions about paying rent, they sit there and only know how to give you your apartment keys or give you your mail.
WHY it exists: When they were hired, they were clearly not taught how to look up your payment information.
3. Waiting in the insanely long line at chick-fil-a.
WHY it exists: people love chick-fil-a so it is always crowded.
4. I wash my face every night, but sometimes my skin still breaks out.
WHY it exists: acne forms from bacteria in your pores, no matter how much you take care of your skin that bacteria still builds up. Some people have it worse than others due to genetics.
5. Traffic on 13th street around 5 p.m.
WHY it exists: 13th street is not wide enough for all the traffic coming from the university and from people leaving work. Most people get off work around 5 o'clock.
6. When I do not have time to clean my room.
WHY it exists: I am constantly doing schoolwork and also have a job, sometimes there is just not enough time in the day!
7. When my roommates don't take out the trash.
WHY it exists: They are lazy or do not have time.
8. Having to pay to bring luggage on to the plane after you already had to pay for the plane ticket.
WHY it exists: It cost the airline extra money to carry heavy luggage on the flight.
9. When people bring their baby on a plane and it is crying the entire flight.
WHY it exists: People have children and may need to travel for work or maybe to see their family, they can not leave their new born baby at home. They also have no control over it crying, but they can at least attempt to get the baby to stop!
10. When something gets stuck in your tire and you get a flat.
WHY it exists: there is debris in the streets sometimes, either from people littering, construction work, or maybe the wind or rain carried the debris in to the street.
11. When there is a surge when you're trying to Uber to midtown.
WHY it exists: When a lot of people are requesting Uber at the same time, especially to go to midtown, Uber drivers know they can up-charge people because they will stay pay for it.
12. When you spot someone money for food and they never pay you back.
WHY it exists: they either forgot to pay you back or they do not have the money or they simply don't care.
13. When they do not carry the shoes I want in my size.
WHY it exists: the demand for that shoe is very high and the most common shoe size for women is a 7, they simply did not make enough shoes in that size.
14. When people at the gym are on the machine you want to use and they stay on it forever.
WHY it exists: the gym does not have more than two or three of that machine, and the machine is in high demand.
15. When people don't tip bartenders.
WHY it exists: People do not think they should tip, they are rude, or they are just broke.
16. When you go out to eat and your server is rude.
WHY it exists: they had a bad day and bring their bad attitude to work with them, maybe they've dealt with a rude customer before you got there.
17. When professors don't give you enough time to take your exam.
WHY it exists: they believe that you should know the material well enough to get the exam done in that amount of time, but sometimes it is simply just not enough time to answer all the questions!
18. When the girl in the apartment next to me is blasting her music while I'm trying to study.
WHY it exists: she wants to listen to music and is not being considerate of neighbors.
19. When people try to shove their political views down your throat.
WHY it exists: some people have a really strong opinion on politics and believe the party they belong to is always right.
20. When professors make you buy the 100$ textbook and you don't even end up using it.
WHY it exists: the professor believes you should use it to study.
Fortunately, I did not have any difficulties when writing this blog post because a lot of things tend to irritate to me, and I tend to remember when things bug me!
Number 20 is great. I hate when they do it. I only like the writing textbooks because they usually come in handy. Number 15 is something that really annoys me because tipping is the money that person will make for the night. People do not seem to get that. Number 10 happened to my girlfriend this weekend. Extremely annoying. It was a screw and it is not the first time it happens. Great Post!
ReplyDeleteI have never related to something more than reading your reflection and seeing that may things irritate you which makes this assignment easy for you! This just so happens to be the same for me! Number 20 I think is one that almost all college students can relate to, I feel like this happens to me every semester. One time I was able to complete a class with a 96 A and never even bought the required textbook. Number 3 is another that I can definitely relate to. I always want chick-fil-a but I dread waiting in the line, which seems to ALWAYS be long!
ReplyDeleteHi Emma, after going through your bug list, I found that there are some similiar bugs which I found in my bug list. For example, I noticed that number 20 is the problem happens to me this semester. At the beginning of the smester I spent several hundred bucks on buying those access codes of the textbooks which is a high expense for me to afford
