Bug List

Bug List

#1 - It really irritates me when weights in the gym are not racked. I have to take time from my workout to first find the weights needed for my workout.
WHY? - I believe people are either too lazy to move them back to their proper locations or forgetful.

#2 - One of my roommates can't clean up after themselves. Over the winter break he left milk and other items that spoiled, leaving a very unpleasant smell for me and others.
WHY? - He seems to be very busy and is rarely at the apartment.

#3 - There is very limited parking in front of my apartment building, and when others can't park correctly it forces me to park further away from my building.
WHY? - Parking spaces are pretty narrow and some people don't take the time to check and see if they're within the lines.

#4 - Crowded RTS busses force me to be near people in an awkward position.
WHY? - I normally head towards campus during peak hours.

#5 - Heading to Marston/West library and realizing that there are no spots left (at least the good spots).
WHY? - I didn't reserve a room in advance. I didn't leave early enough to claim a spot.

#6 - Lawn maintenance workers start working way too early in the morning (8:00am) and it wakes me from my beauty sleep.
WHY? - My walls are not sound proof. They have other lawns to take care of throughout the day and have to get an early start.

#7 - Running out of basic needs at the worst times. For example, I loaded a weeks worth of laundry into the machine just to find out I ran out of detergent.
WHY? - I forgot to keep track of my resources and their conditions. I did not resupply when needed.

#8 - I have Eczema (skin condition) which flares up causing pain and extreme discomfort.
WHY? - Other than the fact that Eczema has no cure, often times I do not moisturize the area which contributes to the irritation.

#9 - The shower in my apartment is extremely sensitive. Turning the knob left or right by millimeters results in either hell or the artic.
WHY? - The water heater is just on the other side of the wall which may be responsible for the sensitivity

#10 - The Rider app, used to track RTS busses, sometimes inaccurately displays arrival times causing me to miss a bus by minutes.
WHY? - The connection between the bus gps and the app might be weak causing a delay.

#11 - My Amazon Fire TV Stick often malfunctions when trying to open apps (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) forcing me to restart the device completely.
WHY? - A programing error or a hardware issue could be causing the device to malfunction.

#12 - The A/C unit in my car breaks down when it gets closer to summer time which bugs me because that is the time of year I need it the most.
WHY? - The car is 12 years old and I don't have money to get a permanent solution.

#13 - The apartment I'm currently in is near a forest which is home to many insects. It bugs me when those critters make my bedroom their new home.
WHY? - The apartment's proximity to the forest attracts insects. I sit on my balcony very often and insects sneak in.

#14 - My Apple Airpods will occasionally connect from my phone to my computer while I'm listening to music. It disrupts the mood and is a hassle to reconnect.
WHY? - I paired the Airpods to both devices because I need to use them on both; however, I am uncertain what causes the Airpods to automatically switch to one device to another.

#15 - I have a wireless printer, but I am unable to use it because I can't connect to the router.
WHY? - The landlords have sealed the router box away preventing me from obtaining the neccessary information needed to set up the printer.

#16 - When I am about to pick my outfit before I leave and realize its wrinkled.
WHY? - I rushed my folding. I didn't hang the clothes that needed to be hung.

#17 -  When I go to the grocery store and as I park there is a shopping cart in the space.
WHY? - Previous shoppers can not find the designated cart space. They are inconsiderate and lazy.

#18 - People who litter when there are multiple trashcans in the area and people who clearly see trash but ignore it bother me.
WHY? - Trash cans are not obvious enough. They don't take responsibility or initiative to conserve the environment

#19 - My microwave is unnecessarily loud when cooking and alarms every 2 seconds when the timer runs out. Not to mention it takes longer to cook food than other microwaves (Low wattage).
WHY? - It is an older and cheaper microwave. The company designed the microwave this way.

#20 - I tell the barber exactly how I want my hair cut including the dimensions but the results are always different each time.
WHY? - Each barber uses different techniques. Inconsistencies in their training.

Reflection

I spent a few days coming up with this bug list while placing myself in different situations and environments. Even when I pictured myself in others' shoes, I found it very difficult to formulate bugs towards the end of my list. A challenge was identifying bugs that are less obvious, because obvious bugs were likely to be listed already. When I took the extra effort of visualizing myself walking throughout my day, I stumbled across major bugs and ones that were more discrete.
