Bug List

Things that bug me:

1. People who cant make decisions. 

Why? Because sometimes other peoples plans depends on that one person and if they can’t give a legitimate answer than it directly impacts another person. Like should we get a house next year? "I don't know, maybe."

2. Pedestrians that cross intersections diagonally.

Why? It's completely unsafe for both the pedestrian and the driver.

3. When someone litters. Especially at nature parks.

Why? In their minds its fine because "that’s what we pay taxes for" but our taxes should not be going to cleaning up the roads. 

4. When people stay glued on their phones at a concert or movie.

Why? Because you paid all this money to go, enjoy yourself, and actually watch the performance. Recording every second on Snapchat is not the same thing.

5. When people don't tip their waiters. 

Why? I've been a waitress before and know the true importance those few extra bucks make.

7. When you're talking to someone and they won't get off their phones or look at you.

Why? Because it’s often like talking to a wall and it can get quite exhausting. Not to mention how disrespectful it is.

8. When people don't wash their dishes after they cook.

Why? Because we run out of dishes, it looks disgusting, and its makes it harder for me to wash my own.

9. When my roommates put tuple wear on the very top shelf in the cabinet. 

Why? Because I am much shorter than them and if I want to store food, that means I have to climb to the counter and stand on it to reach the shelf.

10. When my boyfriend leaves 15 dirty cups scattered all over the apartment instead of reusing them.

Why? When someone needs one, there's not a single one available because they're all dirty thanks to him.

11. When my roommates want to act funny and close the front door on me right when they walk in.

Why? Because why? Now I have to stop and open the door or, sometimes, even reach for my keys.

12. When people ask me if I know how to dance because I'm Hispanic.

Why? Because not all Hispanics know how to dance, and because growing up my family would always ask me to dance.

13. When people disrespect their elders.

Why? Because it hurts me to watch such disrespect take place.

14. When someone opens my bedroom door without knocking.

Why? Because it's supposed to be my private room; they don't have to necessarily ask for permission, but at least knock.

15. A truck that takes up two parking spots. 

Why? Just because you have a truck, doesn't mean you own the lot.

17. A truck with monster tires and spiked rims in the middle of Miami.

Why? Why in the world would you need such a huge truck and with spiked rims in such a large city as Miami? When there's heavy traffic, he endangers everyone on the road.

18. The fact that the closest Apple store is 2 hours from Gainesville.

Why? Because I'm used to always having one within a 5 mile radius. 

19. How small the Walmart on Archer and 34th is.

Why? Because 3 aisles of food is never enough.

20. When people ride their bikes or longboards through Turlington when it’s crowded.

Why? Because they know how highly probable it is that they will hit someone.

Reflection: As it turns out, my biggest bugs are things that people do or just people. This assignment was much harder than I expected because, despite managing to find 20 "bugs", it took a lot of thinking and analyzing my everyday routine to realize what bothers me. It's most likely because I'm used to just accepting and/or ignoring those things because in the end I probably don't have any control over them so I don't see the point in letting them bother me so much.
