2. My laundry room in my apartment building only has three washing machines ands bugs me when they are all in use, which means I can't do my laundry. This is a bug because there isn't enough room in the building and the room where the laundry is done is rather small which limits the amount of machines they can have.
3. On 13th ave, the side streets always have can't turn right on red during the day. This is a bug because traffic gets so backed up on 13th so they put don't turn on red so they can control the flow on all the roads, but they have it when it isn't busy as well which bugs me.
4. I had to call my credit card company and was left on hold for 25 minutes, I hate being kept on hold for a long time. This is a bug because they may have a high volume of callers and not enough workers to handle the calls.
5. Waking up, ready to work out, and my headphones are tangled in 15 knots. This is a bug many face and I seem to battle everyday. The cords are not meant to be tangled and people just jumble them up.
6. The line at chipotle on University ave around dinner time is a major bug. This is a bug because when the line gets long, it goes all the way out the door and the restaurant always seems to be shocked with the amount of people and aren't prepared.
7. Not enough machines at the gym to use. This is a bug because the gym owner never accounts for the new customers and the volume of users the machines have which leave people standing around waiting.
8. When the message continues to pop up on my phone that says I'm out of space and need to delete stuff. This is a bug because the software takes up a lot of room and forces us to delete stuf. Need more space!
9. At work we have golf carts, there seems to never be keys for them and thats a major bug. This is a bug because maybe people forget to return the keys and the golf carts need the special key.
10. I work for the football team for the school and when people call me to ask for insider stuff or important information that I know. This is a bug because they think I will tell them sensitive information because they are my friends.
11. My roommate every night will turn off the air in our house when its warmer out. This leaves my room hot and I get sweaty. This is a bug because the vent is located closer to his room which makes his room colder than the rest of the house.
12. When the line of people waiting at style cuts located on University ave for a haircut. Most of the time they only have two people working which leaves a lot of costumers to sit around and wait longer times.
13. The wifi at my apartment is terrible and never fully works. This may have to do with everybody in the entire apartment having to plug their wireless router in the same major internet and causes it to slow it down. Can't withstand
14. When people have no awareness and just talk on the phone loudly in a quiet place. At Starbucks waiting in the line, the lady was louder than the entire place. This is a bug because people live in their own world and don't really take other peoples wants into account.
15. When my roomate have a party at our apartment and don't clean my thing up for days. This is a bug because they have never needed to clean up after themselves therefore I have to do it.
16. The team meeting room is always frigid and we are forced to wear a sweater to be comfortable in there. The building seems to always be cold and something that has to do with the whole building.
17. The service in the football stadium is horrid and forces me to go outside when I need to make a call. This is a major bug and probably because offices being practically under the stadium.
18. The traffic around 5 around the school and down university makes the drive home double the time. There needs to be more options to get out of campus. There isn't a lot of room to build so its tough to get around.
19. Downtown Gainesville is home to many homeless people, I gave money to one of them and returned to the same space a couple days later and he asked me again and got made when I wouldn't give him money. The bug is that there is a high homeless population and there is nothing they can do.
20. When my roommates takes shampoo and body wash and doesn't replace it. The bug exists and many people deal with it.
This process was really eye opening and even tough to do. What helped was being able to put things down along the week. One thing I found myself doing was trying to find ways to fix the problems. Its hard to think of the "bugs" because thats just not how you look at the world. I really enjoyed the exercise because it helps to identify other bugs down the road.
Hello! I found your Bug List extremely interesting and I really admire your use of detail! Bugs in Gainesville are definitely easy to find and we all have similar opinion of them. I have also had trouble with lines for food, space at the gym, and roommates not accommodating to usual necessities. Although we find many throughout our day it was difficult to just memorize them. Living life and then progressively writing down bugs was definitely the way to go.
ReplyDeleteIn total honesty, your bug list describes my life. I can't tell you how many times almost all of your bugs have happened to me. Personally, I love your list and think that it describes the life of a college student to the letter. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteHey Jake great list. A lot of your bugs resonated with me which was really interesting to me. I guess it makes sense because we are in the same demographic but it is still nice to hear people are annoyed by the same problems that I deal with in my own life. It does help if you try to take note of the annoyances throughout the week rather than all at once.
