2A- BUG List

1. 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

2. 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

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13.  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.

14.  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.

15. 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.

16.  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

17. 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.

18. 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.

19.  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.

20.  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.
