1. My roommate singing while I'm working or sleeping
- His singing distracts me from my work and his voice is not pleasing to my ears
2. My landlord conducts business in an unprofessional manner
- I expect someone who I am paying rent to everyday to at least to be competent in grammar and not charge me the wrong prices
3. When drivers on roads fail to utilize their turn signals
- Drivers not using turn signals may surprise me. Those that do it suddenly may cause accidents and lots of expletives
4. A coupon failing to work or expired before I can use it
- I love to shop frugally, and a non-valid coupon makes me feel like I'm not getting the best deal possible
5. When my roommates leave their cooking utensils on the stove
- It is unsightly and does not leave me much room to do my own cooking, which means I have to clean up their mess
6. When I can't find a parking spot on UF campus
- This is especially irritating because I may be running late to class or a meeting and lack of parking makes me late even more.
7. When I feel uneasy when cop cars drive behind me
- I have a fear that there's something wrong with my car or I committed a traffic violation and the cops would write me a hefty ticket
8. Paying utility bills
- isn't rent enough? Why is Gainesville utility so expensive?
9. Taking out the trash because the dumpster is too far
- The trip to the dumpster is a long one, which is a waste of time
10. Getting the mail because the mailbox is too far
- The mail used to be a stress reliever, now it's a burden
11. Using the bus system when it's unreliable
- The bug exists because sometimes technology can't account for the human nature of bus drivers
12. When people do not do the things they said they were going to do
- This bug exists because some people like to make promises without having the effort to carry them out
13. The University Athletic Association banning dancing at the stadium
- They do not want to deal with students potentially disrupting business hours
14. When the waiter doesn't fill your water as often as you want them too
- Waiters may be too busy to fill my water
15. When a store doesn't have Apple Pay
- Stores probably do not want to spend the money to upgrade check out systems
16. When you're getting too fat to fit in your clothes
- This bug exists because I like to eat and sleep in
17. Hearing a recording of my voice
- I think my voice makes me sound like a kid
18. Having a canker sore
- Not sure why these exist, my mom says it's not from enough vegetable in my diet
19. Accidentally burning my mouth on hot food and needing a couple days to heal
- I don't blow my food before putting it in my mouth
20. When my mom posts screenshots on Facebook instead of the actual image
- She's not an expert on social media
Reflection:
At first, this assignment was a little difficult because I was trying to think of all the things that bugged me, then drawing a blank. However, I got my first bug, then second, and then I got the ball rolling and completed the list of 20 without a hitch. Doing this assignment with my roommate proved to also be a little humorous.
Hey Kevin!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the humorous bugs! I definitely agree with the lack of available parking at UF, this is a serious issue that they seem to overlook. Rather than building more parking, they just keep putting up more and more academic buildings right off campus.
However, some of these bugs could have been more specific... I mean, "12. When people do not do the things they said they were going to do" is as vague as you can get... Just a tip for next time! Keep up the great work!
Hello Kevin!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Devan, very funny bugs. I have to agree with parking on campus. Especially since I live on campus, finding spots can sometimes be difficult and cause me to have to walk what seems like a mile. I particularly enjoy bug #20. I can wholeheartedly agree that parents are not always the most tech-savvy. Enjoyed reading your post overall!
