Bug List

I actually really enjoy the idea of a bug list and find this assignment to be therapeutic.

Bug List

1. I am bugged by the idea that a driver does not look before they pull out of a parking space.
 - They more than likely forgot to look because they were thinking about something else. Perhaps, they had a stressful day.

2. I am bugged by my roommates not cleaning around the house as often as I do.
- I know that my roommates had parents who picked up after them, and to be honest, so did I. However, I know that if I don't do it, no one will. Perhaps, it is their busy schedule.

3. I get bugged by history. To be more specific, the way women are not treated as men.  I have been watching a lot of shows placed in the 1700s and 1800s, so times are coming around but there is still a little bit of a lag.
- I can't really explain why history was this way other than women is the inferior sex in the eyes of many.

4. I am bugged by my own tardiness.
- I know it's because I have a great bed and I love to sleep. I also know it's because I stay up late. I could be more responsible.

5. I am bugged by fruit flies sneaking into my house.
- It is always just one fruit fly, however, why do they have to be there? Well, I think its because sometimes the door is left open and they get in.

6. I am bugged by the end of a wine bottle.
- I am not an alcoholic. However, I could always go for one more glass of wine. Plus, one wine bottle between two people is only two glasses!

7. I am bugged by fighting/arguments based on religions.
- I know this is something we will never change. I know that not all religions seem fair. I am just someone who respects peoples beliefs and I don't understand the meaning of changing ideas if it's a part of someone's culture.

8. I am bugged by bosses not doing the right thing because of their position.
- I have had a personal experience where a boss had the authority to change/erase his mistakes because he had the authority to view different pages on the office website. I don't find it honorable and I lost respect for him. I quit the job shortly after.

9. I am bugged by not having enough money as a college student.
- I live off of loans and scholarships, and I can't wait to get the chance to have enough money where I am not under financial stress!

10. I am bugged by being let down by the people closest to me.
- I think that I expect more from the people who are close to me. However, I think when you expect more from someone, you are opening the door for disappointment.

11. I am bugged doing laundry.
- I am just lazy. But I would have to say doing laundry is a very tedious chore. Maybe because it is a "hurry up and wait" activity. I have to hurry up to clean, wait while it is in the washer and dryer, then I have to hurry up and fold so it doesn't wrinkle. "Ain't nobody got time for that!"

12. I am bugged by people who do 10 miles under the speed limit.
- I got somewhere to be! Move it! Maybe, they are old and can not see like they used too. Maybe, they are scared of driving.

13. I am bugged by plans falling through.
- If I take out time to do an activity, I get excited. When plans fall through, I get sad. Simple as that.

14. I am bugged by the process of moving to new places.
- I love new adventures, but the moving process is quite exhausting. When a student moves, they normally have 10+ days of being homeless, so storage units are normally required. Moving requires a lot of packing, unpacking and time. 

15. I am bugged by my own procrastination.
- Why am I like this? It is almost like a race for me. Perhaps, I think I work better under pressure. However, I would do better with more time. I should change this.

16. I am bugged by ordering something new on a menu and being disappointed with how it tastes.
- I am all for trying new things! I just so want to enjoy new food and then it tastes gross. This is probably because I have too high expectations.

17. I am bugged with how quick I run out of dry shampoo.
- I think they only put so much in a bottle so that people can buy more.

18. I am bugged when people don't wash their hands after they go to the bathroom.
- Has this ever happened to you when you are in a public bathroom? I am bugged because of all the germs! I don't understand why people do this. This is just gross. But if I have to guess, maybe they are running late to be somewhere.

19. I am bugged by low-calorie foods not filling me up.
-  I want to eat healthy, but can I also be filled up? Maybe, it is because my stomach is used to consuming more foods.

20. I am bugged by spoilers.
- Let me enjoy the movie! I think people do this because their excitement confuses their judgment to keep things in secret.

Reflection

This assignment was actually a lot harder to complete. When I thought I thought of everything, I was only on number five. This assignment almost turned into my diary at some points. I think it was hard to complete because I don't want to think about everything that bugs me. If I focus on the negatives, how am I going to be happy?
