2A- Bug List

1.  When people take or use my stuff without asking assuming it’s okay.

-This exists due to people’s lack of judgement in certain situations with assuming they can just use or take things without permission.

2. If I go out of my way to open or hold the door for someone and they don’t acknowledge me at all.

-Most of the time the cause of the problem is people are on their phone walking through and just go through without even seeing me.

3. Going to the bathroom in a public place and seeing pee all over the seat from someone else.

-This exists due to people not caring since it isn’t their home and lack of respect for anyone else trying to use the restroom.

4. Arriving to a restaurant and after sitting down see that the plate is dirty or has stuff on it.

-The cause of the problem can be sanitary issues with the restaurant, or they don’t make sure the plate is clean before putting it on the table.

5. If I’m walking behind someone or a group of people who are walking so slow. In most cases blocking the whole path with no way to get around them.

-People are unaware of their surroundings or spatial awareness that would be the cause of the problem.

6. If I’m working in a group project with people and one or more of them show no effort in completing it and do no work.

            -The cause of the problem is the people know they can get away without doing much

7. When I’m driving a little bit over the speed limit and someone is really close to my bumper or speed by me going 95 with a dirty look.

-This exists due to people being in such a hurry and the problem is they feel the need to be somewhere so quick which can be dangerous on the road.

8. In my dorm/apartment when people are playing loud music late at night when I’m trying to go to sleep.

-This problem exists due to people being unaware of how loud it is in other rooms and could be prevented by better wall qualities for soundproof in dorms/apartments.

9. If I’m in line waiting to get into a club/bar and people just cut in front with either friends or sneak in.

-The cause of the problem is peoples lack of patience with not wanting to wait in line like everyone else, instead cutting people who have been waiting.

10. If I have a friend over or driving them and they leave trash either in my room or in the car.

-This exists from either friends forgetting to throw it away or just lack of care to keep others space clean when in it.

11. When I’m taking an exam in a big setting and some peoples chairs are squeaky which distracts me.

-The cause of the problem is old chairs in big classrooms, and this exists by rust developing on them.

12. In the world of football today, almost every play seems to be a penalty which gets old to watch and is annoying.

-The cause of the problem is the players complaining after every play and the game turning into less of a contact sport each year.

13. If I go to work out at southwest and it is one in and one out to even get in. Then all the machines are taken which makes the workout way longer waiting.

-The cause of the problem is to many students coming into the gym and they gym is not big enough to support that many people. Another gym or area should be built to deal with this issue.

14. When I park my car in a spot and someone parks super close to my car sometimes leaving a little scratch on my door from their door.

-The issue with this is some people don’t care about damages to their car or have a lack of respect for other cars since it isn’t theirs and don’t have to deal with any damages.

15. If I’m trying to go to sleep and it is hot in the room, I struggle to fall asleep due to how I can’t stop thinking about being hot.

-The cause of the problem is sometimes the air conditioning doesn’t work as well as most nights or in some cases breaks.

16. If I’m in class taking notes and the professor moves to quick in changing slides or speaking really fast. It’s hard to keep up and take good notes.

-This exists due to the limited time a professor has so they try and fit as much material as they can in the 50 min time slot.

17. If I’m playing a game with a friend or group of people and they just give up because they are losing in it.

-This exists because some people would rather quit early and give up so they don’t “lose” and pout in a way after.

18. If I’m studying in a silent part of the library and people are talking around me.

-The cause of the problem is peoples lack of awareness and enforcement by the library to let it happen without saying anything to the people.

19. When I go to the store and like a pair of shoes or a shirt and they don’t have my size in stock.

-The cause of the problem is not enough inventory and planning by the manager of the store. They should keep up with inventory more to prevent this from happening.

20. When my phone dies at any point in the day or night.

-This exists due to the battery life of iPhones being so short. The cause of the problem is battery life and how the phones die so quick.

The challenges I had with coming up with this list weren’t as bad as I thought they were going to be coming into the assignment. The first 10 were really easy for me to come up with as they are day to day “bugs” that I see and get annoyed with every day. From 10-15 it took more thinking about some things that aren’t day to day such as the NFL, or gym interactions which I got a few off of those two. I really got stuck from 15-20 as it took way more thinking into what are some bugs that everyone experiences. I put myself in other people’s shoes and focused on general bugs that many people would probably agree with. Overall, I didn’t find it difficult to come up with the bugs it just took some time and thought going through it.
