Bug List - Patrick Schreiber


  1.  When I have to grab a quick bite before a class and the restaurant I go to has too long of a line to make it to the class on time.
    1. This bug exists because a lot of people go to lunch before a class around 11:00-12:00
  2. When I go to the library and there is no scooter parking.
    1. In Gainesville, a lot of people use scooters and the parking is limited at the library compared to how many people go.
  3. Going to the gym early in the year and there are no machines open.
    1. During the beginning of the year, a lot of people have made New Years Resolutions to get in better shape, because of this there are more people than usual.
  4. Roommates not taking out the trash.
    1. Taking out the trash can be a chore and everyone thinks someone else is going to do it so it turns out no one does it.
  5. Getting stopped at train tracks.
    1. Trains go through many different cities and are a primary mode of transportation of goods. They usually take a long time to pass and can create traffic.
  6. Traffic during rush hour.
    1. Cars are a primary mode of transportation for people going to work. When everyone is trying to get to the same area at the same time, traffic tends to build up as the roadways don't have the capacity to efficiently transport all the people on the road.
  7. Time to cook food
    1. A lot of food that is cooked needs to reach a certain temperature before it is safe to eat, as well as the prep time to prepare a meal.
  8. Waking up in the morning
    1. Naturally, it is difficult to wake up in the morning, especially if your body is in deep sleep when your alarm goes off. Not being able to control what phase of sleep your body is in makes it difficult to wake sometimes
  9. Grocery shopping
    1. Although the aisles of grocery stores are organized well, knowing where to find the groceries that you are looking for can be difficult and take a long time. Also, at times when they are busy, the lines to checkout can take a long time.
  10. Phone dying at inconvenient times.
    1. If you're out all day and are using your phone a lot, the battery can die quick and you won't have access to a charger.
  11. Not being able to fall asleep.
    1. Sometimes, when you have a big day the next day, or just a lot of things on your mind, it will be difficult to fall asleep.
  12. Trying to read an article and ads keep popping up
    1. Companies try to take advantage of readers by posting pop up ads that someone might accidentally click on. The more clicks on these ads, the more ad revenue for the website.
  13. Having to do laundry and fold clothes
    1. No one has unlimited clothes, so doing laundry is inevitable, and if you don't fold your clothes after, they end up being wrinkly.
  14. Having to go somewhere, but I can't find my keys anywhere
    1. Being so small, keys seem to fall into the most unusual places, not to mention placing them down in an unusual spot and not knowing where they went.
  15. Long lines at the bathroom
    1. Public restrooms, especially at restaurants, have too few toilets for the amount of people at the restaurant. Waiting in the line can be the worst feeling
  16. When the hot water runs out in the shower
    1. Hot water heaters can only heat up so much water at one time, when you are the last one to shower, the hot water may be all out.
  17. When public restrooms have hand dryers instead of paper towels.
    1. This is a thing because it wastes less paper, however there are way more germs from a hand dryer than from a disposable paper towel.
  18. Having to go to the gas station to refill my car
    1. Cars can only hold a limited amount of fuel, so naturally you have to refill.
  19. When food expires
    1. Food can only keep its freshness for a limited time before bacteria starts growing on it and/or it loses its freshness
  20. When roads get blocked off because of construction
    1. With the ever-changing landscape of our cities, and more construction happening around busy travel areas, it typically causes a lot of traffic.


This list was very hard to come up with. It is hard to think of things that bug me because I typically try to ignore these things in order to live a comfortable life. Now that I have thought of them though, I will be more inclined to notice things and ask myself why they happen.

  1. Patrick,
    I agree that I try to ignore the things that bother me so when I tried to point them out, I found it difficult. However, reading other peoples list I am reminded of others things that bother me as well. One of the most annoying parts about being in college is having to fold and do my own laundry. Also, I live with 5 other roommates so the hot water runs out often causing my roommates and I to argue.
