2A: Bug List

January 17, 2019

Bug List

1.  The first thing that bugs me is the amount of "Scam Likely" phone calls I receive throughout the day on my personal phone.                                                                                               Why: It happens because people are either trying to sell me something or trick me into some sort of scam.
2. It can be difficult to fall asleep some nights because I am able to hear each and every step my upstairs neighbors make.                                                                                                        Why: My upstairs neighbors are not very conscious of how loud their footsteps are and the flooring in my apartment complex is not soundproof.
3. One thing that especially bugs me is how I am able to turn off my alarm on my Iphone while I am half asleep so I don't recall ever doing it and end up waking up late.                              Why: The standard alarm app on the Iphone is a bit too easy to turn off, if I can do it while being asleep.
4. When I go to watch a Youtube video I am interested in and the title that originally caught my attention has absolutely nothing to do with the actual content of the video.                          Why: Youtuber's tend to do this to maximize the amount of views they can get which in turn increases their ad revenue.
5. UF does not have rentable electric scooters on campus to help you get around places quicker.   Why: I presume they do not have any simply because it is something that is relatively new to universities across the country, or the choose not to have any due to their liabilities.
6. It is frustrating how it take close to two weeks to get my toilet fixed in my apartment complex. Why: The maintenance team in apartment complex is under staffed. 
7. That there is not a single train that goes straight to Miami from Gainesville, it would make visiting back home so much more efficient.                                                                          Why: The demand is not high enough for it to be worth a certain company's money and time to construct it.
8. How Santa Fe students can join a UF Fraternity but are not allowed to pay a gym membership  to be able to workout at one of our many gyms.                                                                  Why: The reason being is that UF wants to reserve the gym strictly to students of UF.
9. When eighteen wheelers drive extremely slow on the left hand lane on the drive back home to South Florida.                                                                                                                                   Why: Most of the time they are trying to pass a car in the right hand lane but once they get in front of that particular car they end up going the same speed as them so it is pointless.
10. How my apartment complex offers free printing the printer is "broken" a majority of time.          Why: They are constantly either running out of ink or do not what to continuously refill the ink and paper.
11. Stubbing my big toe on my bed or office chair in my room.                                                          Why: I usually am not paying attention and it just happens.
12. Calling Bank of America you need to waste the first 10 minutes of the phone call talking to an automated phone system that barely understands anything you say.                                            Why:  It is cheaper for Bank of America to have an automated phone system rather than paying people an hourly rate to answer their phones.
13. Cookie cutter workout plans that are advertised to be "personalized" but in reality they are not.  Why: People do this to make this most amount of money as a "personal trainer" while doing the least amount of work.
14. People who do not re-rack their weights at the South West Recreation Center.                              Why: They are not considerate of the people who are going to use the equipment after they are.
15. It bugs me that the clubhouse in my apartment complex that has computers and study rooms is not 24 hours.                                                                                                                                    Why: It is no longer 24 hours because certain residents would steal things once the leasing managers shifts would end.
16. When people take up two parking spaces at the parking garage next to Rawlings specifically during midterms and finals when parking is extremely limited.                                                      Why: People who tend to do this think very highly of their cars and do not want anyone to park near it.
17. When I go to the Chipotle on archer road and they barely give me any chicken.                          Why: This tends to happen when they are very busy and the employees are trying to serve you as fast as possible.
18. When I go to class and there are no longer anymore seats available.                                              Why: I simply did not get to class early enough.
19. It bugs me when I get out of the shower and I realize I left my towel in the dryer.                        Why: It happens because I always forget to set a timer to remind me when my clothes are done drying.
20. It bugs me when I forget to pack my earphones in my bookbag for the bus ride to and from campus.                                                                                                                                             Why: I usually forget to pack them because I forget to take them out of my car after the gym from the night before.

This assignment at first seems quite straight forward and simple but I can assure you it is simply not so. Once I got to my fourth "Bug" I tried thinking about other things that could possibly bother me but I simply couldn't. This forced me to go about my day as I normally would but rather be a bit more conscious of the small issues I tend overlook. Overall, this assignment made me realize for certain things on my list there are definitely changes that I could make today that would squash these "Bugs".
