2A - Bug List

It bugs me that...

1. I never find enough time to make myself breakfast in the morning before going to work or school

why: not setting alarms with sufficient time to get ready and make breakfast

2. Some of my students show up to a flight unprepared and not ready to fly

why: They aren't putting in the effort to make progress

3. People take their kids out in public and can't control them from throwing tantrums

why: they have no authority over their children, hence they do whatever they want

4. I have over 1000 songs in my library but every time I hit shuffle it always seems that the same 5 songs play

why: Apple Music isn't the best streaming service and doesn't have great algorithms to learn your music taste

5. People in the state of Florida are not competent drivers

why: the drivers license test is a complete joke and people not qualified manage to get their license

6. Everyone decides to hit the gym around 6-10 pm and it's always full

why: people get out of work and it is the cheapest gym in town

7. Carrying my groceries upstairs

why: I live on the second floor of my apartment complex

8. Buying something online and not getting what you expected

why: sizing for different brands and different countries are different

9. Dog owners think their dog is the cutest thing to ever exist

why: they form an emotional attachment with their pets and see them through a filtered lens

10. When you can't skip an add on YouTube

why: YouTube creators need to monetize their videos in order to make money

11. I had classes that were across campus with 5 minutes to get there

why: didn't thoroughly think how practicable that schedule was

12. My car will start making weird noises

why: it is in need of maintenance and something underlying is occurring

13. My iPhone thinking I'm another person when I try to unlock it with my sunglasses on

why: facial recognition is not perfect and needs to scan my entire face

14. I don't get very well service inside a building

why: cellular service has a hard time traveling through walls since the signal works of line of sight

15. It's always a mission to decide where to eat with someone else/ group of people

why: people have different taste and desires at different times, so it's only reasonable that it will happen

16. I can't drive home when I didn't drive somewhere and having to rely on someone else

why: getting picked up rather than driving to meet up with people

17. When I need to get somewhere in a hurry I manage to get all the red lights

why: usually I'm in a hurry in the morning when traffic is heavy and lights are changing quicker than usual

18. People blasting videos out in public

why: some individuals are inconsiderate of their surroundings and don't pay attention

19. Trailers to movies are always better than the actual movie

why: they want as many people to come watch the movie so they have to advertise the best parts of the movie

20. People who know the risk of smoking and still do it

why: because they became addicted to the tobacco in the cigarettes

Reflection:
Watching the YouTube video attached to the Bug List assignment I originally thought it was going to be breeze but as I started I found myself thinking more and more of what really bothered me. As an individual who doesn't really pay too much attention to what is going on around me I spent a lot of time going through my daily routine to try and remember what were the little things throughout my day that bothers me. It definitely took significantly longer than I originally expected. The most challenging part of the assignment was figuring out what bugged me, the why came a lot easier when I knew what I was dealing with.
