Bug List

  1. It bugs me when my roommate doesn't refill the Brita filter after he drinks all the water in it and leaves it on the kitchen table. 
    1. The issue occurs due to my roommate's prolific laziness 
  2. It bugs me when my roommate will leave a room and leaves the lights, fan, and TV on. 
    1. This one results from a lack of discipline in my roommate. 
  3.  It bugs me when I'm working at the drive-thru at Dunkin' Donuts and the customers take too long ordering and they ruin my drive-thru time.
    1. This one might occur from customer indecisiveness or perhaps from the small font size on the menu.
  4. It bugs me when you miss your bus because the bus app gives the wrong estimated arrival time. 
    1. This one happens because of a bug in the bus app or because the times are uncalibrated.
  5.  It bugs me when I'm trying to watch Disney+ or Netflix and it doesn't work.
    1. This could be due to the servers crashing because of high traffic or a poor connection exists. 
  6. It bugs me when I'm trying to get to Santa Fe from my apartment but the wait time for the route that takes me there is over an hour. 
    1. This is because where I live, there is only one bus on the route. 
  7. It bugs me when I'm trying to go home from Butler plaza and I get caught during rush hour; it takes forever when it usually only takes about five minutes.
    1. This one happens because where I live, there is only one way to get there from Butler plaza and the street is two-laned.
  8. It bugs me when I'm excited about the new Star Wars trilogy and it ends up being disappointed and not meeting its hype.
    1. This occurred because of the change in directors from the first movie to the second and then again from the second to the third.
  9. It bugs me when I'm apartment hunting and I fall in love with a place but the installment rates sit outside of my budget.
    1. This happened to me because, during the tours, the guides would leave the floorplan prices until the end after you've caught feelings for the location.
  10. It also bugs me when all these apartment complexes have a ton of added fees when applying. 
    1. I genuinely don't understand the application fees, why do they exist?
  11. It bugs me that I can't eat whatever food I want. 
    1. This is because I am lactose intolerant, so dairy products don't tend to agree with me.
  12. It bugs me that the sun goes down at 5:30 in the afternoon, and it always feels later than it really is.  
    1. This is a result of the Earth's position from the sun and the tilt of its axis. 
  13. It bugs me that the outside temperature will drop to the mid-30s in the morning and at night but it'll be around 70 degrees at noon. 
    1. The drastic changes in temperate are a result of the sun rising and setting. 
  14. It bugs me that I'll always feel tired when I wake up in the morning, no matter if I slept 5 hours or 8.
    1. This is more a matter of what time I went to sleep and not how long I slept.
  15. It bugs me when I go to a store and their operating hours are different from what it says on google. 
    1. This could be updated hours of operation or someone did not copy them down correctly online.
  16. It bugs me that McDonald's ice cream machine is always broken when I'm craving a McFlurry.
    1. It could be the time in which I go to get the ice cream, it could be after they have cleaned the machine. 
  17. It bugs me when Amazon delivers my package but I am not aware because the clubhouse staff has not informed me.
    1. I think it's from a glitch in the community's system that I don't receive their notifications.
  18. It bugs me when I ask for honey mustard sauce at a fast-food restaurant and they only hand me one.
    1. I blame company policy for this one, the maximum amount they can hand out is limited to one per customer.
  19. It bugs me when The Weeknd takes forever to drop his new album. 
    1. This could be due to the fact that he needs to take his time to perfect each song cause he doesn't produce bad music.
  20. It bugs me when my Roku remote won't turn off my TV so I have to use the TV remote to do it. 
    1. I think this is because of the TV's inability to read the remote's signal. 
At first, it seemed impossible coming up with bugs to discuss. Sometimes I would second-guess myself and I'd think that they were too bland or not good enough to use in my list and I'd only take longer to come up with new ideas. Once I got into my groove I just kept typing up new bugs or I'd think about another one before I finished the one at hand. I had fun with this exercise. I normally wouldn't sit and think about all the little things that I face in my day-to-day life that tick me off.

  1. Hi Luis,

    I cannot agree with you more about your Bug 2 and 4. For example, one thing that bugs me is how much utilities cost in Gainesville and when roommates leave lights on or the tv on it upsets me that I have to turn them off and have to pay more money for their mistake. Further, RTS has so many issues that I have encountered while on their routes and missing the bus is one of them along with the bus driver driving past you at the bus stop. Great job on your post.

    Best,

  2. Hey Luis,
    I agree with all of your bugs. It seems they have a lot of common issues. Roommates that do not help out are a huge bug, and dealing with these bugs can stress some people out. The one i think is funny but true is the McDonald's ice cream machine is always broken when you want one. Another one is sauces, everyone knows you need at least 3 sauces! While i was doing mine i realize it got harder and harder but reading your post and others it seems easier and realizing there are so many obvious bugs!
