Bug List

So today's post is to identify a few of the day-to-day occurrences that I feel are just too irritating to bare.
  1. When you walk through the Plaza of America's and twenty people are trying to hand you fliers to thing which you have no interest.
    • Everyone wants everyone to join their bandwagon.
  2. When in a hurry on your way to class and people stop in the middle of the sidewalk to talk to random people.
    • Some people pay no attention to their surroundings; they do not care they they are abruptly stopping you.
  3. When I'm at work at Planet Smoothie and people come in, not to buy a smoothie but to find out if we're hiring, rather than filling out our online application.
    • Some people do not realize that many hiring platforms gravitating towards an online basis.
  4. When you're making popcorn and you set the timer for two seconds too long and the entire bag burns.
    • Poor popcorn manufacturing; popcorn should not e an exact science.
  5. When your at your second to last class of the day and your computer dies in the middle of taking notes.
    • Cheap computer and you forgot your charger.
  6. When you're sitting in Marston trying to study and the person next to you starts chomping on a bag of Lays.
    • People get hungry and potato chips make up almost fifty persent of the vending machines on campus.
  7. When you're doing laundry and the dryer eats the straps on you new shirts.
    • The dryer is too old.
  8. When fruit is on sale at Publix so you buy too much and then it all goes bad.
    • Hungry shopping, you still need to be realistic with your purchases.
  9. When you're sitting on the bus on the way to class and someone with no sense of personal hygiene sits right next to you.
    • Maybe some people are not aware that you have to wear deodorant every day.
  10. When you have to wear heels or flats because an event is "business casual" and you end up with blisters after two hours.
    • Beauty is pain; new shoes cause blisters and dress shoes are not always made of the most comfortable material.
  11. When you finally get a Monday off work but Hurricane Dorian comes rolling in.
    • Bad luck? We live in Florid aand it is hurricane season.
  12. When you spend an hour straightening your hair but then you go outside, and its Florida humidity.
    • Florida's average relative humidity is 83 percent.
  13. When you are trying to get a drink from Starbucks in Marston and also trying to not be late for your next class.
    • All others students at UF want a Starbucks before class too.
  14. When your washer and dryer have been broken for a year but maintenance still wont come in to fix it.
    • You live in a cheap apartment complex that has a lot of other apartments to keep up with.
  15. When you find out you have to be signed up to the Starbucks app for six months to get a free drink on your birthday.
    • Stores only want to give out their free stuff to their loyal customers not someone going around getting a bunch of free stuff on their birthday.
  16. When your outside for three minutes in Florida and get bitten by five mosquitoes.
    • There are a lot of mosquitoes in Florida.
  17. When you are half asleep and realize that there is a lizard in your room.
    • You should really make sure your front door is closed.
  18. When no one at work pulls through and can cover your shift.
    • Other people are busy too.
  19. When your at Jacksonville beach trying to relax and people play their music way too loud.
    • Different people relax in different ways and probably think that everyone likes their music.
  20. When you are at a red light on Archer and as soon as the light turns green the person behind you honks.
    • People have places to be and can become impatient because everyone else is not on the same schedule.
Reflecting upon writing this list of "bugs" or things that really irritate me started off hot and heavy, I had like five or six that Ii knew right away that really bugged me. However, the further along I got on the list the faster I slowed down and the harder it became to think of things. I think it became harder to find things that bugged me because there were only so many things that really impacted my daily live after that I had to start kind of looking to others and thinking about how some things might irritate others or the general population not just myself.
