2A - Bug List

1.     When my roommates leave their dirty dishes in the sink after eating, even though we all agreed to hand wash out dishes after we eat or cook

a.     They usually eat right before having to leave, and don’t plan for spending an extra 3 minutes doing dishes.

2.     Soon after I fill up my vehicle with gas, the gasometer does not properly work, and sometimes takes days to give me an accurate fuel reading.

a.     I am not sure why and cannot currently afford to get it checked by a mechanic.

3.     My roommate constantly asking to borrow my car when he has access to his own, as well as other modes of transportation.

a.     He doesn’t want to take his “nice” car out very often.

4.     Waking up with a bad case of allergies every morning (stuffed nose, red and itchy eyes, as well as a cough,) even though I am on allergy medication.

a.     It may be dust, or it may be a new rug that I have in my room, I am unsure.

5.     Not being able to do my laundry when I’m home because my roommate will put his load in just before leaving our house.

a.     I mention beforehand that I am preparing to do laundry, which “reminds them” that they were about to do a load.

6.     Not being able to stream videos on our living room tv because too many people are using the internet at once.

a.     We do not have extremely reliable internet and have four to six people here usually.

7.     When I plan to cook a certain meal only to realize right before I begin to prepare it, that I am missing one or two key ingredients.

a.     I usually either forget that I’m missing something, or a roommate used up the last of it.

8.     Having to share my car with my brother, when he lives ten minutes away from me.

a.     We left his car to my sister back in our hometown, and now share my car here in Gainesville.

9.     Not being able to see my girlfriend more often during the semester because she lives nearly two hours away from me.

a.     She goes to near in Jacksonville, which is a decent drive from where I attend university.

10.  Waking up in the morning with a plan, only to accidentally turn off my alarm instead of pressing snooze, and then sleeping in.

a.     I accidentally press snooze out of habit, but occasionally go as far as turning the alarm off without meaning too during a state of sleepy confusion.

11.  The sheer fact that I am extremely clumsy, to the point where I have already destroyed 4 dishes this month (my record is eight in one month) and broken one guitar.

a.     I am honestly just a clumsy guy, and I have come to accept that, but recently I have been avoiding certain situations to minimize damage.

12.  My acne not subsiding, although I have been on an acne medication advised to me by a health professional.

a.     Maybe because I haven’t been washing my face as well as I normally do.

13.  Not getting enough sleep, especially during busy weeks.

a.     I cause this by staying up and either doing homework, watching TV, or playing music.

14.  Having one of the metal rods on my watch strap come loose, causing the face of the watch to swing just by either the top or bottom of it, and then having to look around for where it fell and painstakingly take the time to fix the little piece of metal.

a.     I do not know how this happens, but at one point I was forced to order new metal rods, and have already used up the two that I ordered…

15.  Not being able to eat/handle peanut butter in the dining room because my roommate is slightly allergic.

a.     He’ll be put into anaphylactic shock if he touches peanut butter.

16.  Carrying my groceries up three flights of stair, especially after lifting earlier that day.

a.     Since I live on the fourth floor, I need to carry my groceries up the stairs once I shop, because the elevator is far from my unit and very slow.

17.  Not being able to drill holes in my room because I am renting the place.

a.     I will lose my security deposit if my room ends up full of holes.

18.  When my roommate makes excessive noise in the living room after everyone’s gone to bed.

a.     I do not know why he chooses to be loud during the night, but we’ve all talked to him about this to no avail…

19.  Having to deal with getting a new debit card because mine was recently used without my authority.

a.     I’m guessing my card was tapped at a gas station while filling up my car.

20.  Being woken up by the sunlight on my sleeping-in days because of my less than adequate blinds.

a.     My blinds do not work well, and the windows in my room face towards the East.

In all honesty, I did not have too many problems while coming up bugs during this assignment. I just started to think of things that annoy me, and when I started running out, I would lower the requirement of how annoying something is to consider it a bug.
