For this post I am going to write what bugs me and then in brackets {} I am going to explain why I think the bug exists
- The bars at midtown are very crowded during the weekend. {Probably because everyone wanted to drink during the weekend.}
- People don't check the bike lane before crossing the street. {Probably because they have never been hit by a bike traveling fast downhill}
- Teachers assign assignments in weird vague pages on Canvas and expect us students to know how to find it. {Teachers probably assumed if they know how to use this technology the students should be able to know}
- Some teachers don't give rubrics saying "once you have a job they won't give you a rubric" {Because in life there aren't actually rubrics, but you get on the job training and a boss to constantly ask questions to.}
- When people cut in line (at the bathroom, restaurant or bar). {Probably because they don't care that everyone behind them has been waiting}
- When my neighbors play loud music on a Tuesday night/morning at 3 AM. {They are probably drunk and don't care about what their neighbors think}
- When people shout instead of talking to a person right next to them {The person is probably really excited or is just an annoying jerk}
- People who when with friends are always on their phone {They probably think something really important is going to happen or they are a jerk}
- Guys who somehow miss the toilet completely when peeing {they could be drunk}
- When people don't pick up after their dogs {They are being lazy and a jerk}
- TV commercials bother me {commercials is how the companies make money}
- People who drive under the speed limit {They are either lost, texting, bad at driving, old, or drunk}
- I dislike it when people block entire aisles at the store {They are oblivious to other people around them}
- I dislike when the McDonalds on 13th is busy and charge me the wrong price for what I order and give me the wrong order in the end. {Its probably a combination of being busy and not having the best employees}
- Long-boarding on campus is difficult and even dangerous in some places because the bike lanes are so messed up {It costs a lot of money to redo all the bike lanes and they are mostly still rideable}
- It bugs me when my neighbors leave their trash out in the halls because that clogs up the halls and makes them smell bad {They probably didn't want to smell it and were too lazy to walk down the stairs to throw it all away}
- It bugs me when people get mad at people in the service industry about things that aren't the persons fault. Like when I went to Fridays and someone yelled at the waiter for his corn being cold. {People are very emotional and most people aren't rational}
- It bugs me when people walk in the bike lane and then don't get out of the way for bikes(especially on campus) {they probably think that the bike can wait for them and they are just oblivious}
- It bugs me when celebrities get away with things, like how Bruce Jenner got away with manslaughter. {They probably have enough money to cover things up}
- It bugs me when teachers assign tedious assignments instead of just telling us their point {They probably have some point to make and think assigning that assignment will help emphasize it}
This assignment was rather easy for me because there are a lot of things that bug me. After the 5th one I just started listing off everything that bothers me in my day to day life.
Will, I can definitely relate to your post, especially the one about people checking the bike lane before they cross the street. I cannot tell you how many close calls I have had. Overall, I thought all of your "bugs" were spot on, and your reasons were pretty entertaining as well. Thinking back on when I was writing my list, it definitely got easier to do once the ball started rolling, just like you experienced. Feel free to check out my bug list at http://uffarmer.blogspot.com/2016/01/bug-list.html Hopefully you can begin to think about solving some of these annoying things in your life. Best of luck in the rest of the class!
ReplyDeleteHey Will! A lot of the things that bug you bug me too. It bothers me too when everybody is on their phone instead of enjoying the company of the people around them. I also think that people should be more sympathetic to waiters because they have difficult jobs and they are doing their best. It also really bugs me when people with dogs don't clean up after them.
