Assignment 2: Bug List
1) Scooter parking by Keene-Flint Hall is too packed, making me late to class.
A: Many students have scooters, but not enough parking to accommodate. It is also more packed depending on if a class period is about to start.
2) Attempting to start up a scooter in the early hours of the morning.
A: The cold weather damages the engine and makes it more difficult to start.
3) Working at Newell Hall and having a late night shift from 2-7am.
A: My work is open 24/7 and someone is needed to supervise the building.
4) People that blindly accept viral news as truth.
A: Misleading headlines that catch attention combine with inherent laziness.
5) People hanging out in my room that leave game cube controllers and food on my table without putting them away.
A: People are lazy and assume that I will clean up the mess regardless. Also forgetfulness and believing in someone else taking care of the problem attribute.
6) Paying $12 at Level 2 Club for a Moscow Mule after already paying $10 for cover.
A: The business needs to make a profit among an already competitive market.
7) Seeing hamburger helper on my fraternity chef's menu.
A: While I may not enjoy the meal, a majority of others might.
8) Drunk brothers attempting to sleep in my bed.
A: Alcohol lowers inhibitions and distorts mental states.
9) Receiving weekly projects for Electronic Field Production.
A: It is necessary to teach many concepts within a short time span.
10)Running out of toilet paper over the weekend at the fraternity house.
A: The janitor does not work on weekends and brothers frequently use the restroom.
11) Having to lug my laundry to the laundry room on the outside of the fraternity house.
A: Less frequent trips to do laundry allow for mass clothing build up.
12) Not allowing the use of computers of phones in Electronic Field Prod. II class.
A: Allegedly it is more beneficial to write on a pencil and paper to boost creativity.
13) Being ghosted on tinder.
A: People largely use the application when they are bored and thus rapidly lose interest.
14) Forced "ice breaker" exercises at Newell Hall.
A: These exercises foster connections and allow for a larger pay check.
15) Children kicking seats during movies.
A: Children can be oblivious and unaware of their actions causing harm to others.
16) My neighbor's dog Chloe constantly pulling at the leash and going everywhere except forward.
A: Poor training led to improper walking routines.
17) Excessive service fees for food delivery applications like Uber Eats.
A: Applications like Uber Eats attempt to turn a profit by tacking on service fees.
18) McDonald's on University forgetting items I ordered.
A: Sometimes items get lost in translation, especially with a business that has many customers.
19) Having no clean underwear to wear the next day.
A: Personal laziness leads to laundry not being taken care of.
20) People spitting while talking.
A: This is involuntary and accidental, but happens to those more prone to salivation.
In coming up for this list, I realized that it was more practical to think of basic things that I do daily instead of solely attempting to think of things that "bug" me. In going about this task with that method, I was much more successful and thus did not find it so difficult. Sometimes in order to solve an issue, looking at things from a new perspective greatly changes the results of the scenario.

Hey Brandon,
ReplyDeletei really enjoyed your blog. Scooter parking is a real issue at the University of Florida. There are so many students that own scooters and there's definitely not enough spots. Flint hall is bad but have you seen Library West? specially during exams finding scooter parking is just impossible. UF really needs to find a way to fix this problem.
Hey Brandon,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading through your bug list and one that I connect with is people accepting viral news as the truth. In my opinion, this is how rumors get started and someone’s life could be made harder. Both the previous bug and paying for an expensive drink at a low tier bar that already charged cover is not in your control. These two bugs, in my opinion, is how the world works. Also, there needs to be additional parking added for scooters/motorcycles around the entire campus. I agree with you that this assignment wasn’t that difficult especially when just thinking about the bugs in simple day-to-day things. To help improve your blog posts for the future you can make it more reader-friendly by organizing the post better.
