- Insanely long wait times at the
DMV
I
understand many people are coming in and out of DMVs and it might get hectic,
but the employees to incoming flow of people is always so off. You walk in and
there’s about 7 attendants to 50+ people. Having more people on staff would fix
this issue so easily to keep traffic moving
- Adults who chew with their
mouth open
Children,
I understand. But there comes a point in life where it is truly unacceptable.
It is so rude and such a turn off in my opinion -- The simple fix? Close your
mouth
- Constantly handing out favors
and getting none in return
Returning
a favor is just a simple courtesy. Many people have too much time on their
hands and cannot meet everyone’s needs. But do not be that one person
constantly asking for handouts and when the time comes to return a favor, you
are nowhere to be found. What goes around should always come back around.
- Walmart having 20 checkout
lines and only 4 being open every. Single. Time. I. Go.
What
is the point of paying for so many registers when all of them are always
closed. Walmart has TONS of employees, why not schedule them more often to fix
this ongoing issue.
- Wait times for customer service
calls
I
absolutely hate being placed on hold for 15-20 minutes to ask a question that
can be answered in less than 20 seconds. I feel like I am constantly running
into this unnecessary issue. Hire more employees if you have to keep everyone
who calls on hold for 20+ minutes. Super irritating.
- Verizon constantly shutting my
phone off due to a late bill without warning
It is
super inconvenient when my data shuts off when I am in the middle of nowhere
and need my Maps for direction. This is partly my mom’s fault for not just
linking her card to my phone bill but a phone call warning would be nice.
- My mother constantly checking
my Canvas and telling me when things I have not yet worked on are due
I am
20 years old, I am capable of reading due dates. While changing my password
sounds like an easy fix, my mom regularly is monitoring my finances and reminds
me of that and it’s always helpful but my school work? If I could somehow give
my mom her own log in to access strictly financials and dues to the school,
that would be amazing.
- Spam Emails
While
I usually disregard all my spam, having a blockage of 10,000 spam emails is so
unnecessary. I could take the time to unsubscribe from these emails but it
would literally take hours to get through all of them
- The constant spam phone calls I
receive everyday
NO I
don’t need life insurance, No I do not want to donate to your wonky fundraiser
and I ABSOLUTELY do not want to enroll into the military. No matter how many
people I tell to take me off their call list, I am still receiving these calls.
A number change is long overdue.
- The Crackheads who constantly
Harass me in Gainesville
Where
I am from, seeing a homeless person let alone a crackhead, is rare. The influx
number of homeless people/Crackheads in Gainesville constantly asking me for
money is overwhelming. I am pretty generous for a College kid I must say but it
comes to a point where I am being harassed for spare change by the same crack I
just gave $5 to yesterday. I feel like the amount roaming near campus should
not be overlooked any longer.
- Inconsiderate people at the
Library
The
library is a sanctuary in my eyes and the eyes of many others. There is only so
many times one can hush others to the point where I just upright leave and go
somewhere else. There are several floors in the library that allow you to chat
amongst yourselves. I feel like many people do not know about these floors and
that a chart of quiet levels on floors should be installed somewhere.
- When my parents constantly send
me to voicemail/ flat out do not answer me.
I
know I am not the only one who goes through this. I understand work gets hard
and our parents are not on call at all times. But it gets frustrating when I
need a parental figure and no one wants to pick up. I guess I call too often
during office hours but maybe a super obnoxious ringtone for me is what I need
to sneak into their settings.
- Water heaters in apartments
I’ve
spoke to many people about this so I know it’s not just my problem. I live in a
brand new complex yet I was informed when I moved in that our apartment alone
only allows 40 minutes of hot water at a time. I live with 3 other girls and 10
minutes of hot water just isn’t going to cut it. Feeling the water go from
sizzling to lewk warm is honestly the worst feeling. I cannot speak for
everyone but I live in a completely overpriced complex. Maybe bigger water
heaters should be taken into consideration when divvying up rent money.
- Postponed Concerts
Again,
I get it. Things come up and promises are not always kept. But waiting 5 months
to see an artist perform just for them to tweet days before that they are
cancelling the concert is a huge irk. Especially when they also post a video of
them lounging in Hawai’i just because they felt like extending their vacation a
little longer. It’s rude and so inconsiderate and a contract should definitely
be in place.
- That one kid who is
unnecessarily rude to the teacher
What
do you gain from interrupting the whole class to talk back to the teacher? In
my opinion, teachers do not get paid enough for the things they go through on a
daily basis. Not so much in college, but in middle school/ high school teachers
are seriously mistreated and barely any actions are taken towards it. A
teacher should have the right to be respected, not only by her students but
faculty above her. Bullying is supposedly a no tolerance thing but no one ever
takes into consideration that teachers are bullied as well. These students
should be kicked out for their misconduct.
- Dryers that ruin clothes
I
guess I could take the time to separate my delicate clothes from the wash and
hang dry them but why are some dryers so aggressive? Why must I put in extra
work when the point of a dryer is to dry my clothing
- Cracking my phone with a screen
protector on
Screen.
Protector. It’s written right there on the packaging so why is it that a screen
protector fails to protect my screen every time. I’ve tried them all, from the
film to the glass screens. It’s the most frustrating thing ever because why do
I pay extra to protect my screen just for my to drop my phone to see the
protector AND my actual screens are cracked. A more durable protector needs to
be released and pronto.
- Getting fast food only to go
home and notice my entire order is wrong
This
one I will never understand. I told you my order, You displayed my order onto
the screen to have me make sure everything is right, yet you still add pickles
to my Mcdouble. Maybe it’s the workers, maybe it’s the fast pace lines, but it
is so unacceptable. I paid money to enjoy your food. 2019 is the year I stop
eating out and just make my own meals because apparently if you want it done
right you got to do it yourself.
- Publix refusing to toss my chicken
tender sub in buffalo and ranch
Their
slogan is literally “Where shopping is a pleasure”, so why can I not have what
I want? For years, Publix employees have gracefully tossed my chicken tenders
in buffalo and ranch to provide me with a wholesome meal that is a pub sub.
They have recently instilled this new rule that they will not do that anymore
to save time. Okay, sounds reasonable, but if there is not a single soul behind
me, hook it up. Sadly, I am left disappointed each time because they have
enforced this rule in each location and absolutely REFUSE to meet my demands.
- Men insulting you after rejecting their efforts
Rejection
is not the best feeling, but taking your anger out on someone simply because
they are not interested is such a small minded thing to do and probably apart
of the reason you got rejected in the first place. I feel as I get older, this
is a more common problem. Not wanting to get naked for a stranger is apparently
a mind blowing concept these days and I’ll just never understand why slut
shaming a woman for not wanting you is even a trend. A gentleman’s club at
school should be a strictly enforced course in high school or something. This
Generation's men definitely need to learn how to treat woman better.
Conclusion:
As a lot of things bug me, I found this assignment fairly
easy. Most of the time when something really bothers me, I always think to
myself “what is the solution”. Finding a solution to things that irk me help me
stay calm and patient in situations that I am put on edge. My whole life, I
have had super bad anger issues and the only way to calm my anger was to try
and turn a negative situation positive so that I can learn to stop letting
things get under my skin so easily.
