1. When I have a morning class and my alarm doesn't go off or goes off but I sleep through it.

This bug exists because I have work to do for school until very late at night which either causes me to sleep through my alarm or forget to charge my phone for school.

2. When I go to chipotle during lunch rush hour and the line it outside the door.

This bug exists because the chipotle on campus is right next to Heavener and library west so it's flooded with students who come in between classes. Chipotle is also a great and affordable meal so many students come to it for lunch.

3. When you have to wait at the line at the SW gym during its peak hours.

This bug exists because many students like me can only go to the gym during its peak hours which are 4-6. People that have morning classes or have work/plans at night can't afford to go to the gym at those times and thus find themselves going to the gym at the worst possible time.

4. When your roommates don't clean up after themselves after cooking something in the kitchen

This bug exists because after cooking it's very time-consuming to clean the dishes. However, it's very irritating when you have to deal with this issue without even cooking.

5. When your roommate is dirty and doesn't clean up after themselves in the living room.

This is different from cleaning after the kitchen because this dirtiness goes on for about a week. However, it happens because no roommate has a willingness to step up and clean something they think didn't do.

6. When you injure yourself playing basketball

This bug exists because I happen to play too hard during pickup basketball and I usually jump too much and sometimes land on someone else's foot, resulting in a twisted ankle for me.

7. When you can't fall asleep the night before a test.

This bug exists because my sleeping schedule is usually ruined the week of the test because I stay up studying most nights. Because of this, this causes me to not be able to fall asleep the night of the test.

8. When someone is playing loud music when you're trying to study or do work.

This bug happens because my schedule is usually different from other people's which causes them to be social while I work.

9. When I forget to charge my phone overnight.

This bug usually happens because my phone plug isn't plugged in all the way or I'm too lazy to plug my phone in.

10. When I have two tests on the same day in school.

This bug usually happens because tests at UF are usually clumped up in a one or two week span. When they clump up on the same day it's very frustrating because it's hard to make a study schedule.

11.  When I need to call an Uber and my service is bad.

This bug usually happens because I'm in an area with bad service. This usually happens at night.

12. When my phone dies and I need to call an Uber so I end up walking home.

This bug usually happens because I'm using my phone all night and then by the time I need to call an Uber my phone dies.

13. When my food delivery doesn't come in time.

This bug usually happens because I order my food during rush hour and the delivery drivers are caught up in traffic.

14. When you barely miss a bus.

This usually happens because the bus app is very slow and it doesn't give me accurate times to come to the bus stop.

15. Wet socks.

This usually happens because it always rains in Gainesville and because I'm wearing my slides my socks get wet.

16. When people talk during a movie.

This bug happens because people are inconsiderate during movies and don't care about what other people think.

17. Gainesville traffic.

This bug usually happens when I drive on archer or on campus during peak hours.

18. When I'm driving and I think there's a parking spot but it's actually a small car or a motorcycle tucked into the spot

This bug usually happens because I'm driving during a time when the parking lot is completely filled so I'm excited to see a parking spot only to get disappointed when there isn't one.

19. People with bad breath.

This bug usually happens because other people have bad hygiene and thus forget to brush their teeth or put on deodorant.

20. People who are late when you have plans with them.

This bug usually happens because people lose track of time and thus make other people's plans worse off.

Reflection:

I found this assignment difficult because it's hard to name 20 things that annoy you off the top of your head. In the moment when these things happen to me I know that they're things that bug me but it's hard to name them when they're not happening to you. Even more difficult is finding the root of these annoyances. It makes you think in a different direction and rather than sulking about how annoying something is when it happens to you it makes you think logically and figure out why it happened and how to get around it. Hopefully in the future because I know the root of these annoyances I can avoid them.

  1. Hello Jordan!
    I also had a really hard time with this assignment. It's a lot more challenging than you think to try and come up with twenty things that "bug" you and then dissect why that bug exists. I like that you talked about how it's better to "think in a different direction" instead of getting mad or annoyed at the situation at hand. Great post!
