The bug list is here the bug list is here! Stick around and hear my complaints and maybe you too can learn what it is that bothers you!
1. When it comes to returns, almost every Amazon return had to be dropped off, and UPS drivers who are supposed to come with a shipping label and take it just simply leave the sticker. the real bug is needing to dedicate time to go out of my way to drop items off for my returns.
2. I constantly have to carry multiple cables for a bunch of different electronic items: USB cables, lightning chargers, computer chargers and more. The real bug is the constant preparation needed when there isn't a way to keep them standardized, making my search for cables in my bag more of a hassle than ever.
3. When I occasionally take a bath, the water becomes cold a lot faster since there's no heated tub in my home. The main bug is that I don't want to waste more water by adding hot water to reheat the bath.
4. Most bike seats, whether for wide hips or not, have a point where the seat meets the bar that connect with a screw and bolt, but those bolts are at a point that brush up against my legs and scratch my thighs. this bug should be self evident I just don't want my legs scratched up.
5. The bluetooth speaker I currently have is nice, but when I have multiple items that I switch between, its a tedious process to turn one piece of electronic's bluetooth off to connect another.
6. When I want to buy some snacks for myself, I have too much of a sweet tooth to narrow down my decisions. I'll get chips or pretzels and suddenly my cart is filled with all salty foods, or vice versa with sugary snacks like gummy bears.
7. I bike everywhere on campus, even the smallest of distances are a mini exercise. the bigger bug is the switch from pedal to powered bicycles is such a steep cost that it's a barrier to entry for people to have environmentally friendly options of fast transport.
8. I love backpacks simply because its another source of more pockets. my only bug with bags is that the general design of them leaves too much free space that makes both organization not conducive to saving space and the pressure on the shoulders and back with undue weight distribution can be painful.
9. I love books, and ebooks are a great thing to have. the one thing about normal books that I like more than is the ability to pass down physical books. The secondhand ebook isn't really a thing, and the chance to have online markets that reduce prices for others who maybe want to join in having ebook.
10. I take the bus everywhere, and while I love radio, I don't always love the choices radio DJs play. the biggest bug I have is not having a direct choice in that music being played on the bus even if it's only for a five minute trip.
11. Muscle tension, whether from working out or from life stress, is a consistent part of my day. Relieving it is simple, whether visiting a massage therapist or buying a self massager, but the bug is how inconvenient it is to carry equipment or schedule appointments in a busy schedule for relaxation.
12. While this is similar it comes from a different source of pain. Carrying cables is almost an inevitability in today's world. my bug is the hassle of those cables constantly getting caught on something during everyday activity, whether a charging cable on a door handle or my earbuds caught on my bike handlebars.
13. College students always hear "oh just Venmo me," or "just use my Cash App." My bug with these is just how freaking many mobile payment apps there are and how not everyone will have every app! (if you do, godspeed.)
14. We are all lazy about something, and I will admit saving is not my strong suit. What I am not lazy about is spending time on lazy clicker video games. My bug is why isn't there a connection between gamifying and saving that actually translates into savings?
15. I have always wanted to get into fermented drinks like kombucha or kefir, but my biggest bug is how much information is behind blog posts trying to sell their own brand instead of offering a collective how-to or introduction to a community that is actively wanting to support new interest in their craft.
16. Most places are switching to banning plastic bags at shopping centers. While I love this and support helping the environment, my bug is how convenient it is to just get disposable bags and what will come after them in the name of convenience?
17. Living in a dorm is sweet, but the appliances aren't always up to their modern counterparts. My bug is how it is impossible to upgrade current appliances with some form of add-ons to be like other appliances.
18. I'm just starting to get into sneakers, but the sneaker market is vast and piecing together a style from within is difficult. the biggest bug with that though is that there isn't a cohesive source of information over releases besides side stories in niche news sources.
19. Having worked for a franchise storefront, there is a lot of liberty in store policy alongside the strictness of certain corporate policy. My bug though is the lack of proper iterative upgrades and constant check-in's from regional managers feels hindering to the general workflow and the training of employees for new changes is slower than just releasing self-education modules for employees to finish.
20. College is nice, and the move in to dorms or apartments is always a nice decorating experience, but my bug is how some houses in the house hunt don't come with furnishings and the different things one needs to furnish a house are separated into multiple stores or are just hard to transport.
Hope you enjoy, critique and ponder! Keep living, loving and wander!
I agree the struggle of Bluetooth devices is a hassle that needs to be fixed! Granted with the introduction of many current generation phones there is a fix to this problem. For example the S8 has dual audio capabilities which allows you to connect two Bluetooth devices to single device and automatically syncs the audio.
ReplyDeleteI completely relate to a bunch of these "bugs", especially your sweet tooth itch! I'm always finding myself relating to a bunch of these other problems, for instance your living "bugs". I actually lived in Beaty last year, crammed in with three other students; where are you living? I moved into Courtyards actually, in respect to bug 20, because it was so close but also entirely furnished. Then, I wouldn't have to deal with furnishing problems.
ReplyDeleteHi Daniel,
ReplyDeleteI like reading your blog and this assignment in particular because it is rather entertaining. You have a unique sense of humor and I think it translates well into your post. To comment on something as petty as grammar, don't forget to capitalize the beginning of your sentences. You want to make sure your point is being well executed and not disrupted by overlooking small mistakes.
