2A - Bug List

Bug List:

1. When people walk slow on the sidewalk or in front of me, especially when I am trying to walk to class or when I am in a rush.
• People tend to walk slow because of the congestion around campus between class periods and the University of Florida population is large.
2. When people are too pessimistic and do not look on the bright side
• People may be negative due to bad past experiences in their life or because the people that they are surrounded by may also be pessimistic. 
3. When people are too arrogant and think they are too good for specific things
• Arrogance exists due to others raising their ego and may be too privileged.
4. When people do not use a turn signal in traffic, specifically on the highway
• Turn signals are not used sometimes because the driver may be in a rush or because they do not considerate about other's safety.
5. When people are careless when it comes to school work or their future
• Some students are careless with school because their mind may be clouded with too much social life or they are surrounded by others who also do not take their future seriously.
6. When people go into the elevator before you can leave it
• If someone comes into the elevator without acknowledging that someone else is coming out, they probably did not consider it or they are too concerned with reaching their destination.
7. When people do not hold the door when they are entering in front of me
• Some may not hold the door because they did not know someone was behind them or they were not taught to do it.
8. Being ignored when someone has acknowledged that I have reached out to them
• People tend to ignore others because they do not think the person or the topic at hand is worth their time.
9. When people have bad grammar, such as not knowing the difference between "you’re" and "your" or "their," "they're," and "there."
• Correct grammar may not be used because they were not taught the difference in school or by others.
10. Having to repeat myself more than once after speaking clearly
• People ask others to repeat themselves because they were not interested enough in the topic, because they are not good listeners, or they are trying to multi-task.
11. Slow and bad customer service at a restaurant
• Customer service may be slow because the place is busy or there are not enough people working efficiently. The customer service may be bad because the workers may be poorly trained or they are new.
12. When people bite their nails in public
• People may bite their nails due to anxiety or out of habit.
13. When places do not have a water fountain
• Some places do not have water fountains because it is an additional cost.
14. Being able to hear people’s music through their earplugs in the library.
• Hearing other's music through their headphones is possible because they are playing their music at too much of a high volume.
15. Having to pay extra for dairy alternatives, such as soy milk or almond milk, at coffee places, especially Starbucks.
• People must pay extra for dairy alternatives because these alternatives are an extra cost for the business and they would lose profit if customers did not have to pay for them.
16. People who are closed-minded and refuse to be open to other people's opinions, especially when it comes so politics and religion.
• People are closed-minded because they have tunnel vision toward their own opinion and what only may benefit themselves.
17. When people do not tie their shoes and are susceptible to tripping.
• Some do not tie their shoes because they are too lazy to step aside and take the time to tie their shoe in the middle of walking.
18. If I come over to someone's place, the place must not be messy and unorganized.
• People do not clean their place because they may not mind having their belongings scattered, rather than organized.
19. When people throw their gum out of their car window during traffic.
• Individuals may toss their gum because they do not have something in their car that they can put the chewed gum into, such as a piece of paper or an empty bottle.
20. Being bombarded by robot calls all day from telemarketers.
• People get telemarketing calls because they use automatic number identification and have a database to get people's numbers.

Reflection:

Personally, it was not difficult for me to list things that bug me. These "bugs" were easy to think of because I notice the occurrence of these things in my daily life. Most of these are prevalent on a college campus. While I am tolerant to many things, most of the things that bother me occur due to people being inconsiderate, selfish, or lazy.
