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.
