Bug List:
1. Lack of parking- I want to give a business my money, most of their customers dive there, so it's their job to provide ample parking so I can come in and spend money. It happens because sometimes a business receives a majority of their customers at once, like a gym at 5:30 when everyone goes there after work.
2. People that don’t pull over for ambulances- they think they are more important than someone whose life is in danger
3. Garbage cans that overflow- I don’t like litter in the world, they are full because they don’t compact, its kind of solved with the big belly solar garbage can.
4. Older people that cant use computers, companies that have employees who are super slow at computers have to lose out on millions on lost productivity.
5. Walking places, biking is far superior, a mile walk takes 30 minutes, with a bike it takes about 4 minutes.
6. Traffic jams, when too many people try to go the same place roads reach their capacity then it slows it down for everyone.
7. Slow meetings, Time at work should be efficient almost all meetings I have been to are slow and in-efficient, and waste time
8. Not cold water in drinking fountains, I like drinking water, and companies and schools want us to be healthier, thus they should provide cold water that taste better
9. Hitting orange lights, self explanatory, it slows you down
10. Rainy weather, its nice for a day, but after that I get restless and want to go outside and do things
11. Writing the number 5, to write it neatly takes an extra fraction of a second, and its so much faster to write is like an s
12. Coffee that is never at the perfect temperature, its either too hot, or too cold, and only at the perfect temperature for about 5 minutes
13. Sand that is too hot, I want to go to the beach and have a good time and walk on the sand, if the sand is so hot that I cant walk barefooted then it decreases my enjoyment level
14. Bad hair days, my hair is short so it should be easy to take care of, but every now and then I will have a piece of hair that randomly sticks out and looks weird
15. Computers crashing, I expect my computer to work, and if it crashes it takes a couple minutes to boot back up, it also sometimes causes me to lose a bunch of work and then I have to do it over again
16. Dead phone battery, it happens because phone manufacturers refuse to make a phone that is slightly thicker than the last generation, even if it means a much longer battery life, they should listen to customers. If I want to use my phone I want it to work, a dead battery can cause all sorts of problems like not being able to make an important call
17. Brown spots on bananas, they ruin the overall taste and appeal of a banana
18. Too long of lines at restaurants, I arrive at a place to eat when I get hungry, not 30 minutes before I am hungry. So if I get there and the line is 30 minutes I will be starving by the time I get my food
19. Pencil lead breaking, its annoying when it breaks and makes the page look messy
20. Bad eraser, when I try to erase something I want to erase it, not have an eraser smear pencil lead all over the page
Part 3- I had a little trouble with this, but my mind randomly wandered to different things, and then I found something I didn’t like about the situation and then wrote it on the list. Some things I have on this list I have no control over, so I don’t really know why I get upset over them. Overall I think it was good to make this list, and it got my mind thinking about potential business opportunities.
Hey Brandon,
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I really enjoy reading all of the different bug lists. I am a person who becomes easily aggravated and a lot of things bug me, so I felt myself relating to a lot of the bugs that you wrote down. One of the very first bugs that I put down on my list was about parking as well. Parking is one of my largest pet peeves. Poor parking is a huge waste of time for many. For your second bug, the people who do not pull over for ambulances are just being very disrespectful. I enjoyed reading the rest of your list, these two were just the main ones that stuck out to me. Anyway, good job on your bug list, and good luck in the rest of the course.

Hi Brandon,
ReplyDeleteI thought you did a good job coming up with a variety of things that bug you. I agreed with many of your bugs, especially the long lines at restaurants and the bug about traffic jams. However, I had to laugh when I saw your bug about brown spots on bananas, because I almost used one similar to that myself. What is just as annoying is when the bananas aren't showing any spots on the outside but have a huge bruise on the inside. Either way - I probably throw out the banana. The only thing you might consider changing for the future is making the punctuation more consistent. Overall, nicely done!

Hi Brandon,
ReplyDeleteI have to take some issue with your comments about older people using computers. Just because someone is older, does that mean they have no aptitude for current technology? Not to mention there are plenty of younger people who are "super slow" on computers at work. Sometimes this is not because they have no aptitude, sometimes it is because they are "riding the clock," dragging their work out as long as possible for various reasons, including not wanting a new assignment and/or wanting to do as little work as they can get away with.
I think you made a very good point, about some of the things that bug us being things that we have little or no control over. However, if we can possibly think of solutions to fix these problems, we might just have the next big entrepreneurial idea. Perhaps you are the person who will come up with a way to prevent brown spots on bananas!!!
