1. I keep tracking dirt into my house.
My driveway is dirt and not cement or gravel.
2. My charging cable is not large enough to reach from my desk to my bed.
The length of the cord is too short so I cannot charge my phone while I'm on my bed
3. My cup keeps making water rings on my desk.
The cup has condensation build on the outside.
4. The icecream machine at the McDonalds on University never seems to be working.
It is either broken or they do not keep it turned on.
5. The people at the bars on University late at night take forever to pass in a car because they are in the street.
They are drunk and are not watched or regulated by anyone.
6. My key for my car ran out of battery and I couldn't figure out how to replace the battery.
My owners manual is not very organized and hard to use.
7. My car windows always get fogged up when I start the car so it takes a while until I can drive.
The defrosters in my car are not very strong.
8. My headphones always get tangled in my pocket.
They are not kept organized and bounce around while in my pocket.
9. My pen always causes me to have ink on my hand because I drag my hand across the paper when I write.
The ink does not dry quick enough or the amount of ink that comes out is too much.
10. My hand starts to hurt after writing with a pen for a long period of time.
The pen is not comfortable to use because it does not have any gel or foam where you hold it.
11. My desk is too cluttered with books.
I do not have a space organizer for my desk.
12. I have wires running all through the back of my desk.
The wires come in from all different directions.
13. My blinds on the windows let in too much light.
They are white and are not close enough together to block out light.
14. My carpet constantly gets moved around because it is on wood floors.
The wood floors are slick and the carpet has no grip to it.
15. My fan makes a lot of noise when it is spinning past a certain level.
The fan bracket is loose.
16. It is difficult to understand the specials going on at Gumby's Pizza because their website is difficult to use.
The website is disorganized and needs to be easier to use.
17. My books keep getting wrinkled in my backpack.
The backpack has too much space in so the books keep getting knocked around.
18. The gym is too cold when I play basketball so I find it hard to play.
The air conditioning is turned up to high.
19. My computer's audio is too low so that when I am more than 4 feet away it is hard to hear.
The speakers are not the best and have bad bass.
20. My checkbook keeps getting lost.
I write checks for things then forget where I put it because I take it with me places.
Reflection: I did not really find this list difficult to make because I have thought about these issues before. I also like to think of ways that these problems could be fixed. For example, a silencer for a fan that could be placed in the bracket of the fan in my room could lower the volume of the fan if not muffle it completely. That silencer could be just a small pad of linens or something more complex.
Wow, Steven! I found your bugs list to be extremely accurate. I didn’t think of a lot of the same ones you did, but now that I’m looking at your list I just realized how much of this stuff frustrates me. For example, I can relate to: the charger cable not being long enough, the ice cream machine at McDonald’s, Midtown on a weekend is frustrating and the blinds letting too much light in. Some of them even made me laugh because they bug me too. Great post!
ReplyDeleteSteven,
ReplyDeleteYour list was really funny to read because I found it to be very correct. The one that I agree with most is the point about your computer's speakers being too quite if you're more than four feet away from your computer. Being a big music fan this is a problem I find extremely relevant in everyday situations. I think a lot of UF students will find your list really accurate.
