1.
When it is winter, and I have to go to
work/school early, I walk into my car and it is terribly cold, which makes me
shiver for almost 5 minutes until the heater finally gets its job done.
Why? This occurs because as the weather is very cold and it sinks
in my car without an active heater, there is nothing to keep my car warm.
2.
Sometimes when I am on the highway but not
driving, I like to FaceTime my friends or family. However, it bothers me that
during most of the way the signal is so poor that both video and audio cut off
and the call becomes unbearable.
Why? This is because carriers don’t seem to have enough
connectivity in areas that are outside of actual cities, although there is
still a lot of people driving around them.
3.
When I am on-campus and I bring my own food, it
is so difficult to find microwaves to heat up my food. I have to walk so much
that sometimes I end up paying extra and eating at a restaurant.
Why? There are very few places on-campus with microwaves,
and they are far off from each other.
4.
When there is an event going on, parking turns
absolutely crazy, and people have to drive almost in circles for so long to
find a parking spot.
Why? Most places don’t have proper organization to
distribute the crowds, and there is no mechanism to be directed to where there
are open parking spots.
5.
When I am outdoors in some places and just want
to take a walk or relax in a place, and then all of a sudden, a herd of
mosquitoes and other bugs just start flying around and hitting me.
Why? Some places have not been fumigated and although they
might be pretty, the amount of bugs makes it inconvenient to be in
6.
When I go to the grocery store looking for my
favorite drink/snack, and they are out of it, I lose my time and get sad and
disappointed.
Why? Some things only get freighted to stores every certain
amount of time, and usually there is no way to know if they have it in your
local grocery store at the moment
7.
When I order something that looks so cool and
good online, and then when I get it, it looks cheap and poorly-made, very
different that in the pictures.
Why? A lot of stores use generic or professionally edited
pictures to advertise products, which makes it look far better than in real
life.
8.
When there is an election getting close, and then
social media gets blasted with fake information and fake news, which pretty
much makes you have to verify every single thing that you read.
Why? Because some unscrupulous people start throwing fake
information that spreads out, either for fun or to disinform potential voters
9.
When my iPhone is running out of battery, and
nobody can lend me a charger because they have a different brand of phone, and
the plug is different.
Why? Tech companies love to make things that only work for
them, and make interoperability almost impossible
10. When
I am about to sleep and cannot do it because when I cover myself with the
blankets, I get too warm, and if I do not do it, I get too cold.
Why? Sometimes it is difficult for my body to get to the
right temperature in which I am comfortable enough to sleep properly.
11. It
bugs me being in a store and trying to find something or requiring some assistance
in general and literally not finding any staff who can help me anywhere in the
store.
Why? Some stores do not have enough personnel to provide customer
assistance, so if you require it you are basically on your own.
12. When
I receive an email of something requiring immediate response, and once I
respond immediately, I have to wait several business days to receive a response
back.
Why? I might not be the only person who is receiving that
email at that moment, so it requires a considerable amount of time for the person
who wrote it to reply to everyone
13. When
I am in a place that has a beautiful pool, but the water is extremely cold, and
it does not have a heater or anything to warm up the water.
Why? Pool heaters can be very expensive and
energy-consuming, so in multiple places they just decide not to install them.
14. When
I am taking a super relaxing and comforting shower, and then realize that I did
not bring the towel to the bathroom with me.
Why? I might be distracted at the moment and just walk into
the shower, after having left my towel near my closet
15. When
I am using my phone near a pool, the screen gets a little wet, and it starts
doing crazy things and messing up the settings, sending random messages, etc.
Why? The touchscreen confuses drops of water with fingers,
so it moves around as the drop slides upon the screen
16. Trying
to study in my apartment, and not being able to because in some other apartment
that I cannot quite distinguish they have music at insane levels.
Why? It is college, so a lot of residents throw parties or
events in their apartments, and music tends to trespass walls very easily
17. Driving
to some place in a single-lane road and getting stuck behind a cyclist for a
considerable amount of time
Why? Some streets do not have sidewalks or any other space
where cyclists can circulate, so they have to go on the single-lane streets
18. Dropping
my phone in a very silly and seemingly-soft way, and realizing that my screen
cracked into pieces, especially knowing how expensive it is to repair it.
Why? Although tech companies are trying to make more
resistant screens, they still tend to be very fragile
19. Eating
pasta or anything that has sauce on it, and dropping even the smallest amount
in a white shirt/bottom, and knowing most likely it will never disappear.
Why? The grease and oil that most sauces have is an ingredient
that tends to adhere permanently to fabrics
20. Buying
something in an online retail store and it taking much longer than the expected
delivery date to get shipped to my house.
Why? A lot of times online stores get backed up with the
amount of orders they get at a certain time, which causes delays in deliveries
