Bug List

1.An open gas tank door while driving down I-75.

This is likely to happen, because of the driver being in a rush or just not paying attention.

The car can alert the driver in case they forgot to close it. Or the car can close it itself.

2.Slow clothes dryer before I have to get ready for work.

I was practicing poor time management, but a dryer shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.

Developing a speed dryer for everyday use at home.

3.Hot car seat while going to work.

This is likely to happen, because the driver does not have a sun visor the windshield. 

Having seat coolers or push start to run the AC before leaving will help.

4.Long lines to speak to an advisor.

UF is a big school and everyone is trying to get their situations sorted out. And usually at the beginning and end of a semester.

Being ahead of the curve and figuring things out in the middle of the semester.

5.A person’s negative attitude.

This is in general, but people have bad days and sometimes do not know how to deal with their emotions.

Practicing meditation and being taught to see the positive in situations.

6.Poor work ethic.

One may have poor work ethic if they think they are above their job or are not motivated and take the job seriously.

Managers can lift the moral of the employees and hopefully the employee will buy into the vision.

7.Dead (low) phone battery.

Phones are capable of doing many things, but the battery and storage capacity is not able to keep up with the excessive use.

One can buy a portable charger or give enough time for the phone to charge or not use the phone as much.

8.Technical glitches on phones and computers.

Technical glitches occur when one is either downloading infected software and services or by being impatient and over clicking.

Practicing deep breathing techniques so one is not feeling frustrated and only use trusted sources.

9.Over-sensative buttons on phones and key pads.

Buttons are made to be sensitive to make life easier on people, but if you're holding the phone and drag your finger across the bottom you could close a webpage and lose your place.

One can change the sensitivity or to not touch the screen when viewing.

10.Ear buds that fall out during exercise.

Ear buds fall out, because of the sweat dripping from your head and into your ears.

Have earbuds that are sticky and will not fall out due to sweat or wear a bandana to catch the sweat.

11.Accidently making a mess when I need to leave.

I make messes when I am not paying attention to the task.

Give myself more time to complete my tasks so I do not rush. Or have a self-cleaning floor or device.

12.Pen running out of ink when taking down important information.

This happens, because the ink is not refillable and the last user did not discard the empty pen.

Always have extra pens or ink.

13.Bugs inside the house.

Bugs get into the house, because of doors and windows being left open or food being left out in the open.

Have the doors and windows alert you that they have been open for a while.

14.Phone calls/Notifications when listening to music.

 I don't leave my phone on silent or turn off my notification alerts, but I don't want my music to stop mid song for a text or Facebook message.

One can turn off notifications and mute their sounds or allow certain people to override your music apps.

15.Getting stains on nice clothes.

Sometimes stains just appear on clothes, but I would say stains occur, because of a lack of focus and messing with greasy objects.

Anti-stain clothing will help and using proper cleaning techniques.

16.A packed gym at any time of the day.

A big portion of the population wants to be healthy and usually run on the same time cycle.

One can go late at night or early in the morning or set up a home gym.

17.Microphone feedback during speeches.

The speaker may be too close to the microphone or the line is messed up.

A self-adjusting microphone would help or a quick cut out on the line.

18.Waiting a long time for food to be delivered.

The restaurant or delivery service could be slammed or the staff is not motivated to work at a high pace.

Plan ahead and order early or make speedy delivery apart of the company culture.

19.People who do not pass (Sports Activities).

In my case I call these people puck hogs and they feel like they are all-star hockey players. And that they can do it all by themselves.

People can stop giving him the puck so he has less time with it and shorten his shifts.

20.When people think they know you after only a couple of weeks knowing someone.

When meeting new people, they may see a pattern or a characteristic about you and use it to form a standard profile of you.

One can change their patterns and behaviors and do not make it easy for people to "place" you.

After a couple of days of thinking and living I was finally able to come up with twenty things or situations that bug me. At first I did not think the assignment would be very challenging, but little did I know, it was. I really had to think and get out in the world to complete my list. I enjoyed the bug list assignment. I feel my mentality shifting and becoming more observant of the world around me.
