Bug List

A list of things that bug me!


1. If I open an application on my i-phone too quickly, it will freeze and restart on its own.
This exists because I've dropped my phone countless times on hard cement, which has probably messed up the hardware inside my phone.

2. Every morning, I never cease to sleep through at least 3 alarms from 6am-8am.
This exists because I sleep at a very late hour (around 3am) and these hours that I need to wake up may be in my deep sleep stage.

3. I absolutely hate doing dishes or cooking when there are other people in the kitchen at the same time.
This exists because I like my personal space and feel invaded with people around.
4. During rush-hour, the traffic in Gainesville is so horrid, it takes about 20 minutes to get to a destination that in reality is only 6-10 minutes away.
Gainesville is a very small city that is condensed with many residents and the layout is on a grid system. It is inevitable that traffic routes in the town are very inefficient.

5. When it's about 40-50 degrees outside, the bus drivers on the RTS turns the heat up so high, causing a major change in temperature when boarding/un-boarding and it's very uncomfortable.
I think the bus driver doesn't realize how cold it is outside.

6. If I'm watching my calories or on a diet, I always tend to crave the most unhealthy foods such as ice cream and hot cheetos.
I think this exists because of existing cravings when I'm not on a diet.

7. When I'm working out at the gym, there's always that one person that continuously stares at me in a very uncomfortable manner.
I think this exists because I may be doing a work out wrong or am just a new face.
8. When I'm trying to charge my phone that's on 50% but I'm using a cheap adapter/i-phone 5 usb and it takes 8 hours just to get up to 70%.
This exists because the electricity may not be flowing through to the charger and the fact that it's the wrong usb.

9. When I'm listening to a station on pandora and studying, I've finally got into my focused state-of-mind and a commercial/ad comes on.
This exists to help generate revenue for pandora.

10. I hate it when my nail cracks or breaks just a tad. I keep my nails long and well-groomed and when this happens I have to cut my nails.
This happens because I am doing heavy duty work with my hands.

11. Thin-walls in my apartment means I can hear every footstep of the person above me or every snapchat story my roommate opens in the middle of the night. This distracts me and keeps me from falling asleep.
This exists because of the funding for the apartments and the space needed to accommodate.

12. Notifications on my phone and laptop constantly telling me to update applications or software (tomorrow, remind me later, update now).
This exists because of my procrastination to update my devices.

13. People in turlington that spout the importance of religion.
Not all people are religious and I think it's a bit disrespectful as well as annoying.

14. The food delivery man that knocks on the door really loud, and it's fairly late into the night.
I always put in the directions not to knock so I don't disturb my roommates, but the driver may be oblivious to them.

15. When I play loops of music but when my laptop sleeps or goes into screensaver mode, it stops.
My old laptop never did this, but I'm not quite sure why my new laptop does. It may just completely go to sleep mode.

16. People that wear shoes into my room and track dirt, even when I clearly leave my shoes at the door.
People from different cultures may not take their shoes off.

17. When the uber driver talks too little or too much during the ride. No conversation makes an awkward atmosphere, but talking too much about topics that don't interest me is very annoying as well.
People may just be uncomfortable or shy. I may not be as approachable as I thought I was.

18. People that chase after me on campus just to say "hi." I generally do not enjoy having conversation early in the day.
I may be grumpy because I don't sleep enough.

19. People that text me on snapchat rather than texting me on my cellular.
People feel that informal communication is acceptable now but it is a pet peeve for me.
20. I dislike going on the morning bus before 9am because it's generally packed with no seating room.
The bus is too small for the capacity that it holds and most people have early classes.

  2. Tina, numbers 1,3,9,12, and 15 really hit home. I noticed that even though a lot of those things also bug me, we both did not have one of the same items repeating on our bug list. Really interesting perspective! I liked how you went into detail and gave a practical explanation for each "Bug". If you want to look at mine I will leave the link to my blog post below.

  3. Tina,
    I really enjoyed your bug list and was immediately brought back to my days of apartment living. Those annoyances are the worst! Glad to hear you have a public transportation system that actually gets utilized, that is not the case where I live. Although my list was also different than yours I could totally relate to all of them. You can read my list here if you would like. http://jww3.blogspot.com/2016/01/bug-list.html The fact that you are courteous to your neighbors and roommate should to be commended, not everyone is as concerned as you are. Take care.
    Jim
