Bugs List
1.
I am bugged by the long lines at midtown, when
it takes a longer time to get into the place than the amount of time you spend
in it.
- This bug exists because the bouncers
check ID’s in an inefficient way, going one by one very slowly.
2.
When restaurants get my order wrong after I told
them to modify the dish or take something off.
- This happens because I am picky eater and
I assume there is a break in communication between the waiter/waitress and the
chef.
3.
I get bugged out when a group of people talk too
loudly in libraries when I am trying to study.
- This
normally occurs because people do not respect others trying to study and did
not reserve study rooms in time.
4.
When I tell the barber one thing and he cuts my
hair a completely different way and I end up looking like a pineapple.
- This happens for a couple reasons; first
off, my barber’s first language is not English so there is a small language
barrier. The other reason is when I show him a picture, he doesn’t ever
reference it again, so he cuts my hair based on his memory of a picture he
never even got a good look of.
5.
When the bus doesn’t stop at your stop so you
have to wait for the next one.
- This happens because bus drivers and the
people riding the bus are in a hurry or the bus drivers do not look and forget
to stop.
6.
It bugs me when uber eats takes much longer than
it is estimated to.
- This happens because many uber eats
drivers accept the deliveries and do something besides the delivery the order.
7.
I dislike when servers put too much ice in my
drinks at restaurants.
- They do this to save money for the
restaurant.
8.
When they give you too little meat at Chipotle
even when I ask and pay for double meat. - The workers at chipotle put less
than desired quantities of meat in the bowls because they are not skilled
enough with the meat spoons and are only able to scoop small amounts of meat.
9.
When a chair doesn’t pull out smoothly and I have
to lift it.
- This happens because the chair is on
carpet and there is not padding on the bottoms of the chairs that decreases the
friction
10. Rush
hour traffic on museum road that makes me late to dinner.
- This happens because all of campus is
built on museum, all of the traffic filters though it and it is only a one lane
road.
11. Slow
internet speeds that cause me to spend more time waiting for pages to load than
I do being productive.
– This happens because UF internet is not
good
12. Homeless
people asking for money when I am out shopping/eating.
- This
happens because people are homeless and do not have jobs and need money.
13. When
packages don’t arrive on their expected delivery date.
- This happens because unexpected things
occur that cause the delivery to be delayed.
14. I
dislike that the drop/add period ends after only a week so I can’t switch out
of a class I do not have a point to take.
- This happens because UF needs to have a
set list of who is in what classes and they do not want people switching in and
out of classes half way through the semester.
15. It
bugs me that my Macbook Pro only has a charging port on its left side so when I
don’t have an electrical outlet on the left side I have to awkwardly charge it
and the wire crosses over the laptop.
- This happens because all of the electrical
outlets in my dorm near my bed on my right side and because the computer on has
the port on the left side.
16. It
bugs me that Starbucks does not label how much caffeine content in each of
their products so I never know how much I should drink.
- This happens because Starbucks is either
too lazy to put the caffeine content on their drinks or because they do not
know how much caffeine is in their drinks.
17. It
bugs me that when I put gas in my car it says I have 420 miles left in fuel and
then I drive for five minutes and it goes down to 369 miles till empty.
- This happens because my car miscalculates
how much fuel I use per mile when I drive when I first fill up.
18. It
bugs me that my phone says it is at 5% battery and then it just dies.
- This happens because my phone’s battery
isn’t at 5% when it says it is at 5%.
19. I
dislike when sometimes my nails are still somehow dirty after I take a shower.
- This happens because I don’t specifically
clean my nails, I just expect them to become clean when I wash my hair and body
– most of the times they do become clean however.
20. I
dislike when I go to the South West gym and people take super long on the
weights and I have to wait, and my workout ends up being two hours long because
these people are checking their phones mid-set.
- This happens because there are not enough
weights/machines at Southwest for everyone to use.
The bugs list was hard for me at the start because
normally I don’t dwell on negative aspects of life, but once I got started it
was decently easy. A lot of the things that bug me are of similar nature and
have similar causes.
Hey Jeffrey,
ReplyDeleteOne of the bugs that stuck out to me the most was the one about your barber cutting your hair completely different from how you ask them to do it. This happens all the time especially when you go to a new barber. I’ve gotten my haircut in Gainesville at 3 different barber shops and every time I go back to South Florida my barber always roasts how bad they cut my hair. Some people just don’t really know what they’re doing or understand exactly how you want it.
It's interesting to me that most people definitely have a major gripe with Gainesville traffic. I've never been there when school was in session, but I'm sure it's no fun. I also noticed that most of your bugs have to do with time/waiting. The barber thing hits close to home for me too, as it's so difficult to find someone that knows what you are looking for. The add/drop week definitely a little short, too. Good post!
