1. My roommate staying up until 3 am every single night playing video games.
This bug exists because my roommate probably was used to staying up late at home
2. The smell of gas on my hands every time I ride my scooter to class.
This bug exists because I neglected the need to clean my handlebars after that time I spilled gas on my hands
3. People who do not do their dishes after they are finished eating a meal
This bug exists because these people, including my roommates weren't taught how to clean up after themselves
4. People who are so infatuated and obsessed with their social media accounts
This bug exists because the world that we live in now is centered around technology and social media
5. Mexican food, especially from Taco Bell
This bug exists because when I was 5 years old my parents gave me a Taco Bell burrito and I was sick for days after that incident. Ever since then I can't stand Mexican food
6. When a friend calls me and decides to have another conversation with someone else while they are still on the phone with me
This bug exists because people are not aware of the fact that it is rude and hard to talk to two people at the same time.
7. When I can't find the remote while I'm laying down
This bug exists because I've always hated misplacing things
8. When my girlfriend attempts to finish a story that I am trying to tell her meanwhile she says the wrong things.
This bug exists because she truly thinks she knows the facts of my stories
9. When I get a stain on my clothing no matter how small or large this stain may be
This bug exists because I always want to look presentable
10. Rude people who don't hold doors for you or say hello when they see you in my hometown of New York City
This bug exists because everyone who grows up in NYC has that sort of "street smart" mentality
11. When my roommate decides to play loud music when I am trying to complete this "Bug List"
This bug exists because he does know how to be respectful and courteous to the fact that I am doing homework.
12. People who talk over the professor in class while I am trying to take notes
This bug exists these people obviously do not care about the needs of the other students in the lecture hall.
13. Long waiting times for a seat for 2 at Carrabba's on a Saturday night.
This bug exists because of the large amount of people that have decided to go out for dinner on a Saturday night.
14. People who tell me that I will not be able to accomplish my dream of becoming the President of the United States.
This bug exists because these people are simple minded and are complacent with their lives as they are
15. Store bought baked products
This bug exists because growing up I've always been used to homemade desserts
16. The smell of nail polish
This bug exists because I remember how my mother used to apply nail polish to her fingers during long car rides to a family party or gathering
17. The New York Yankees
This bug exists because I am a die hard New York Mets fan and the rest of my family are all Yankee fans
18. Getting my brand new sneakers dirty when I walk outside
This bug exists because I've always liked to keep my appearance nice and clean
19. People who claim that they are better than me at a sport or an activity
This bug exists because of the fact that I am overly confident and invest in my own capabilities and talents
20. When my contact rips while I am in class and ready to take an exam
This bug exists because I always forget to properly clean my contacts
I found the task of thinking about at least 20 things that "bug" me extremely difficult. Sitting here and going into my thoughts about what bothers me on a day to day basis is definitely not something that I have done before. I believe that it is very challenging to actually delve into your own feelings because I never have time to do so. This list was eye opening and helped me think about what I believe is good and what I believe is wrong or annoying.
Hi Brandon - Good job on your bug list! My favorites were #'s 8, 14 & 16. First #8...get used to this & embrace it (it will actually get worse over time ha ha). #14...don't ever give up on your biggest dreams. THEY don't want you to be President of the United States! Go for the gold and keep winning. #16...I cannot believe your mom did this to you, lol. If I painted my nails with my two teenage boys in the car they would never give me peace. Thank you for sharing your bug list!! Here's mine & I hope you enjoy it:

Interesting list Brandon in that you don't really list any products or services (besides Taco Bell) that bug you. Nonetheless, there were a few interesting items like number 1 because my roommates, a long time ago, actually set off the fire alarm in the building around 3 am. Walking outside in the dead of winter was not fun. I would think number 16 would be nostalgic rather than a bug because of a memory related to your mom but I must agree the smell of nail polish is intense. As for number 8, what can I say except get used to it.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing missing from your list is suggestions to fix the bugs. I thought that was part of the assignment. I also started this list and found it very difficult until I started focusing on the big picture issues that bothered me and it became easier after that.

I like the inflection that you presented in this, being casual is always a plus in my experience. Although maybe that wouldn't be the case when you're the president, you've got some time to hash that out. Chuckled at how everyone mentioned number 8, be patient with her and maybe try to stop that with your words. Or mild manipulation whatever you can manage. Don't let number 19 get you down. Unless you lose in said sport or activity I guess but use the loss as motivation to improve. Always changing
