Bug List


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
