Bug List

  1. Traffic on the I-4 in Orlando during rush hour is horrendous.
  • The road engineers might not have expected how many people relied on this road to go to work.
     2. The sound of two pieces of Styrofoam rubbing against each other.
  • The creators of Styrofoam might have not anticipated the sound of two pieces rubbing together. All they were concerned about was that it kept stuff that was fragile safe.
    3. People who brake consistently while driving in traffic.
  • These people may not be the best drivers or had a bad teacher who taught them how to drive.
    4.People who take their frustration out on employees when it may have not been them that created the problem.
  • Those people may have not worked in the customer service industry and do not understand what may be going on.
    5.When I greet someone at the front desk where I work and they completely ignore you when they obviously heard you.
  • That person may have been thinking about something else or in a bad mood from something else that happened that day.
   6. When solicitors call my phone 5 times in one day and don't put me on there do not call list.
  • The system may have not processed my request that day to be put on the do not call list. 
   7. When my manager at Home2 Suites gives me too little hours.
  • He may not realize how much of a broke college student I am.
  8. When people chew with their mouth open especially when its something crunchy.
  • The person chewing may not hear how loud their chewing is because they are used to it.
  9.When people do not answer their phone after they just called me and I missed their call.
  • They may have their phone on silent and put their phone in their pocket after they couldn't reach me.
 10. When IPhones make you update the system to use most of the apps.
  • Apple may not realize how annoying and time consuming this gets and they just want the best services for us.
 11. When you are on an important phone call and you forget that your phone has one percent battery.
  • You may be so focused on the important phone call that you forget that you need your phone to have battery to have the conversation.
 12. How my mom used to wake me up every morning at 6:00am for middle school and high school.
  • My mom may have not realized that I need my beauty rest or I will turn into something really scary in the morning. I guess she also wanted me to succeed in life and get the most education I could.
 13.When my cat attacks my feet when I get up from bed in the morning.
  • My cat may think she is playing and that it will not hurt, but she does not realize she has piercing claws and that humans are not as tough as kittens are.
 14. The feeling of your teeth after you eat a lot of pineapple.
  • This usually happens because I am really hungry, and I love pineapple so I kind of over do it.
 15. When your GPS on your phone gives you the directions to a building that  is not there anymore.
  • This probably happens because the GPS systems don't update very often so they still have old buildings on the map.
 16. When your in the middle of a test and your pen runs out of ink so  you have to go into your bag to get a pen which makes it look like your cheating.
  • This happens because you don't usually think your pen will fail you during a test.
 17. When you spill red sauce on your brand new white shirt that was 50 dollars.
  • I honestly don't know why this always happens but probably because I am clumsy.
18. When your dog sneaks a stick into the house and breaks it up into a billion little woodchips.
  • This may happen because my dog believes we need mulch and he was just trying to help us out, or because he likes to annoy us.
 19. When you stub your toe turning a corner in your house.
  • This usually happens because again I am clumsy and sometimes I am not really focusing on where I am going.
20. When your phone doesn't charge over night.
  • This may happen because your charger is no good, or the outlet that its plugged into doesn't work anymore.
Challenges:

I think the biggest challenge was recalling all of them. I thought it was going to be a lot easier than it actually was.  I feel like the first couple I breezed through but the last few were hard to think about. After I finished the list I felt more irritable because I was thinking about all the things that bothered me.

  1. I can relate to many of your bugs and really enjoyed reading your blog. I also find it really disgusting and annoying to hear people eating with the mouth open. That was something I was taught from a very young age and I do not understand why these people were not taught the same. I can also relate with your dog bringing stuff into your house but for me he tends to bring dead animals that he hunts. It is pretty disgusting and I run around the house looking for someone to get the animal out of his mouth or take the dog out until he finishes eating it.

  2. I can identify with a lot of your bugs Gabriella! I hate when people brake in traffic, I like to keep moving as smoothly as possible. I have stubbed my toes too many times to count, I am an inherent klutz and I fall and bruise myself all the time...it's embarrassing! We share a common bug because I hate it when people chew with their mouths open too, gross! As someone who works in the retail industry, I also get frustrated when a customer complains to me about something that I can't help them with or that isn't my fault. Your list has good variety, good work!

  3. Hi Gabriella ! It was interesting post about bug list. I was totally agree with you comments. There are some social problems and some are personal problem. Most that I agree with your list is #15. When your GPS on your phone gives you the directions to a building that is not there anymore. I have lots of experience this kind of situation. It does not tell even the building is not there anymore. It should fix anyway !

  4. The sound of styrofoam has never bugged me, but there's something about certain materials sliding over carpet that really gets to me.

    The top component of job satisfaction is usually the relationship an employee has with their manager, so it's awful when a manager treats their employees like chattel. In general businesses over time have increasingly viewed employees as a disposable and interchangeable resource, I'm hoping we've reached the nadir of that trend and will be seeing a return to greater interdependence and mutual respect between employers and employees.
