Here are 20 things that bug me in life:
1) Looking forward to eating the last brownie, then my roommate eats it.
This bug exists because my roommate doesn't consider if I ever want the last brownie.
2) Bad drivers, especially during rush hour.
This bug exists because people are either (a), bad at driving or (b), nervous due to rush hour.
3) My phone screen is very glitch-y and is constantly flashing.
This bug exists because the people who fixed my phone screen didn't hook it up correctly.
4) Spam calls from random numbers.
This bug exists for who knows what reason. Money?
5) My floors in my apartment are always cold.
This bug exists because there is a terrible draft in here, and some old windows.
6) My friends making a mess of food in my car.
This bug exists because I allow my friends to eat in my car, I'm too nice.
7) Cockroaches!!!! (only 2, but still grossed me out)
This bug exists because the person who lived in my apartment before me, was a slob.
8) Popcorn kernels in my teeth.
This bug exists because that's just how eating popcorn goes. Not fixable I don't think.
9) Slow internet connection, both on and off of campus.
This bug exists because many students are on the same internet at the same time.
10) People who don't walk on the right side of the road.
This bug exists because people don't pay attention at times.
11) Shopping carts in the parking lot, specifically in a place I'm trying to park my car.
This bug exists because people are lazy and rely on the store to collect their shopping carts.
12) Public transportation delays, more specifically my bus to class being later than expected.
This bug exists due to poor mapping or traffic congestion.
13) Littering in general, more specifically the guy I saw throw a plastic cup out the window.
This bug exists because of ignorance of environmental safety.
14) The fact I can hear my neighbors having a full-on conversation with each other.
This bug exists because the walls in my apartment complex are pretty thin.
15) Being put on hold when calling a university, specifically the Advising Center.
This bug is inevitable because there are so many callers, but still.
16) Advertisements on YouTube.
This bug exists because there has to be funding/sponsors for each video for money.
17) The drive-thru at every Steak and Shake ever is always slow.
This bug exists because the employees at Steak and Shake probably don't care.
18) It takes very long to be seen when waiting in the emergency room.
This bug exists because there might be a lot of people trying to be seen at once.
19) Hair in the sink/drain.
This bug exists because of being forgetful.
20) Seeing an ad for something I was JUST talking about/looking at.
This bug exists because of tracking on electronics, and Siri can hear everything your saying even when you don't want her to. Scary.
Reflection:
This is was relatively difficult to come up with, because as people I feel like to be happy we choose to look at the brighter side of most situations. I also don't always notice everything that bugs me in life, because if I did I think I would lose my marbles. In the grand scheme of things, these bugs can be deemed as pointless. But, wouldn't it be nice if people used their turning signals?
Hello Julia,
ReplyDeleteI can agree with many of your bugs, for instance, one of my biggest bothers is when people hold up traffic because they are either bad at driving or not paying attention, this is much like your bug number 2. I wrote a bug much like this on my blog. Also I like your bug number 20 because it seems to be happening more and more and they tend to be very specific ads. I think it is true that we block out some, or most, of the things that bother us in day to day life so that we are able to keep our sanity.
Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI can relate to almost all of the bugs that you have posted. The one that you said that really bugs me are the cockroaches. I really hate any type of insects or bugs and I sometimes find them in my dorm. I also agree with your why on that because dorms are reused every year and new people come in, so I believe that the person who lived there before me was not clean with their things. I really like your post!
