I definitely thought writing my bug list
would be a lot easier than it was. There sure are a lot of things that bug me
in my day to day life, but it certainly took a little while to get myself to
think of these specific things. A lot of the things I wrote on this list are annoyances
that I keep to myself, which might have been why it was hard to pinpoint them
at first. For most of these bugs, I can’t come up with a solution for them on
my own. Many have to do with a person simply being lazy, or not having proper
manners. For those, it is hard to come up with product or invention that could
solve this bug. I think for a lot of people, including myself, these daily
annoyances are something we just deal with and don’t take any action to change.
Thinking of the “why” something happens is an important first step for anyone
wanting to make this change.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree that this assignment was more difficult than I anticipated it to be. I also found that most of my bugs were things I usually keep to myself. I think it is interesting that you found that most of your bugs were caused by a person’s action because I too found this to be the case. It is harder to solve these bugs because it is difficult to change how a person acts.
I thought your list of bugs was great, especially the one about the JJs line. Any outside person reading that would probably wonder why you don't just go to another bar, but outsiders don't understand that everyone pretty much will only go there for some reason. Anyways, I agree that coming up with the bug list was a surprisingly difficult task, partially for me because I had to think of what caused the bugs.
ReplyDeleteThis Bug list is great and relatable in the gainesville area. I agree with the fact that there really aren't many good places to go in gainesville, making the good ones with huge lines. The most relatable in my opinion is when a student doesn't listen and asks pointless questions, i'm always focused on getting through lectures and hate delays.
