20 Things That Bug Me


20 Things That Bug Me (2A)

1.)   When I am riding my bike, I am unable to look at my phone to navigate.                                                                       This is due to me not knowing where I am going and the inability to place my phone on my bike.
2.)   At night when I watch videos or play game on my phone, I often find my phone falling on my face.            
                   This is due to the back of the phone being slippery
3.)   The unappetizing smell of food that is left in the refrigerator for too long.
                   Containers and plastic bags not being air tight causing the odor of the food to leak.
4.)   Dust and other white small substances that is attached to black clothing.
                   Not storing black clothing in seal plastic cover
5.)   The inaccurate time for getting on and off of buses that is reported by the app.
                   The lack of communication between the bus drivers and the operators or the app is not well designed.
6.)   The use of powder to make milktea instead of fresh ingredients.
                   It is a lot easier to make and the owner makes more profit.
7.)   The long lines during lunch hours at every Chick-fil-a on campus.
                   This is due to Chick-fil-a good food and the lack of employee or machine that can take order.
8.)   Standing in a place and then a person walk up to you and start smoking or vaping.
                   People’s addiction to cigarettes or vaping.
9.)   People clothing that is infused with the smell of cigarettes.
                   People smoking inside and the lack of detergent that can overpower that smell.
10.)  Your hair being caught in a chair when you try to get up
                   Due to the chair having crack in them or microscopic spaces between the different components of the chair.
11.)  When you walk into a mall in Vietnam, there is a lack of recycling bin.
                   Not enough people are aware of the facts about recycling.
12.)  A cracked egg inside a perfectly fine egg carton.
                   This could be due to the way that the eggs were packaged or due to the softness of the container.
13.)  One side of the earphone is broken.
                   This could be due to the headphone wire being tangled.
14.)  My glass falling down my nose when I am trying to look closely at an object
                   This is due to the side of the glass being too long
15.)  Metal lid that has rigs on the side of the bottled drinks making it painful to twist them open
                   There are no barriers between the rigs and my hand.
16.)   Ink bleeding through the papers.  
                   The unequal distribution of ink when writing or too much pressure when writing.
17.)  Lead smearing on a piece of paper that has not been written on.
                   This is due to the amount of lead that was used to write.
18.)  People’s alarm waking me up but not them.
                   This is due to people being a heavy sleeper and the alarms not making physical contact with the person.
19.)  The inconsistency in the grande vanilla-ice-coffee at different Starbucks
                   This could be due to the lack of measuring utensils at those Starbucks.
20.)  Stains, from drinks or condiments, on white clothing.
                        This is caused by a lack of protective coating on the cloth.
Reflection:

There were some difficulties that aroused when trying to complete this assignment. The process of coming up with things or situations that bugged me got more difficult as the number of bugs increased. I think this is because I am not use to analyzing my surrounding to determine things that annoy me.

  1. I think you put great effort into completing this assignment. Your bugs were chosen carefully. I can definitely relate with some of your chosen bugs. Long lines are terrible. They make you so aggravated and in some cases, they make me want to leave the line and eat somewhere else. Your reflection was well-written. It is often strange to analyze the things which annoy us unless told to do so.
