Assignment 2A - Bug List

1. Going to my favorite nail salon in my city, and not being able to communicate with my nail technician efficiently. Why? English is not their first language, and they were not able to get classes to effectively communicate with their customers.

2. When my roommates see that the trash needs to be taken out, yet they don’t do it.
Why? They are both too consumed with life, and couldn’t be bothered with taking the trash out. 

3. When I go back home for breaks and my mom has a list of rules I have to abide by. Why? The feeling of insubordination settles, and the feeling of freedom vanishes while at home. 

4. The rider app that helps me ride around Gainesville isn’t always correct when it comes to time. Why? People depend on this app to be correct when they have to depend upon public transportation.

6. The weather in Florida fluctuating so drastically. Why? This causes people to catch colds fast, and they constantly have to check the weather to know how to dress when going out. 

7. The way stores deem an item as being on sale, when the price is very close to original price. Why?  People are just being fooled into thinking they had made a steal, when in actually the fact that they don’t pay attention causes them to just be simply fooled. 

8. The architecture on this campus, specifically the dorms, make it seem as though it is a jail cell. Why? The brick on all the dorm causes an old feeling when looking at it, and it also takes away from the homey feeling, and replaces it with the feeling of walking into an institution, there is no real way for a student to actually feel at home. 

9. When you buy an electronic product, and then have to purchase batteries along with your product. Why? This is simply a way for companies to make more money for the least amount to produce a product. People don’t read, and don’t notice that the item needs batteries, and in turn are not able to use their products until the purchase of batteries. 

10. When you buy new shoes, and have to wear them constantly for them to be at the maximum comfort for you. Why? The uncomfortable feeling takes a while fade, and may cause some blisters. But the shoes are cute, and when they are finally comfortable the pain is most likely worth it. 

11. When you’re out with people, and someone is stuck in their phones rather than interacting with people around them. Why? Society is so stuck in their devices rather then taking advantage of the people around them, this is a quality that is rude, and makes people in their presence feel ignored. 

12. The fact that music videos don’t always have something to do with what the artists is singing about. Why? Though it is visually appealing it also takes away from what the artist is actually saying. Plus they just don’t make sense. 

13. When people decide they want to touch an African American woman natural hair. Why? There is a lot of preparation taken into doing hair, and someone putting their hands in it, doesn’t help. Plus it’s just simply weird and an invasion of their space. 

14. When people take advantage of others and their kindness, and pretend as if they’re homeless. Why? People work for their money, just to have someone take advantage of them. So I turn it makes people not want to give, and messes it up for the people who actually need the assistance. 

15. When you have that one friend that has to keep laughing at a joke that is no longer funny. Why? The subject has changed. The person laughing it just elongating something that is finished.

16. When cigarette smokers see people enjoying their time outside, and instead of being respectful they smoke right next to you.  Why?

18. When there is a thunderstorm, and the power and everything cuts off. Why? This causes everything to be stopped. Everything that makes us content, and comfortable is being taken away from us because of a storm that we can’t control.

19. When you buy an apple product and have to also purchase Apple Music when it’s exclusively for  apple products. Why? Apple Music is one of the best music streaming apps. But the fact that apple developers thought it was best to be greedy, and make their devices not only pricey, but also force people to pay for a good steaming app to enjoy their music. Something not all people are able to do. 

20. The overhead lights in a dorm is so bright and clinical, it take away the homey feeling of the room. Why? The lights just adds to the students understanding that they aren’t in their own home, and away from the people they love the most. 

Reflection: I originally thought that this was going to be an easy assignment. This is due to the fact that as humans we always look to spot the problems in things. So it was easy to instantly think of the things that bother me, but soon it started getting more difficult. I found my self having to look in my surroundings and think about the things I interact with on a daily, and actually think. But the problem of why is where the real trouble began. Like how do I take an issue that I personally found a problem with and basically make it general. But, all in all I think this assignment did what it was supposed to do, and that was makes me actually think deeper than surface level thinking.
