Bug List

1.     When the internet is slow and I have to wait a long time for shows and videos to buffer. This bothers me because I am impatient and used to instant response from my computer and phone.

2.     When my phone dies because my battery life is terrible and I often end up disconnected from my friends and family until I return home and get my charger. This makes me worried that I will miss some information or social opportunity.

3.     I hate when people call or text me multiple times in a row if I don’t respond.  Sometimes I am busy or not looking at my phone, but give me time before you bother me.

4.     I hate when people chew their food loudly because the sound is irksome and makes me lose my appetite.

5.     I hate when people chew their food with their mouth open because it looks gross and I feel like they’re going to spit in my food.

6.     I hate when people take my food without asking.  Even if it looks like I have a lot, I paid for the amount I plan on eating and will share if there’s left overs at the end.

7.     When I order food for a group and people who said they weren’t hungry and don’t pay end up eating anyway, leaving less food for everyone else.

8.     It bothers me when people make noise during a movie and distract the rest of the audience. I find it difficult to focus when people are talking or eating really loud.

9.     I also find it distracting when people are staring at their phones during a movie, missing valuable scenes and not appreciating the experience the same way that I am. This makes it difficult to discuss and appreciate the movie after words.

10.  I hate when people take up multiple spaces in a busy parking lot.  Particularly when I have to circle to find a spot and see it over and over again.

11.  It bugs me when people drive extremely slow in a one lane road and it takes forever to get where you need to go. I am often an impatient driver and like the freedom to move fast when possible.

12.  I hate when I am supposed to meet up with someone and they are late and keep me waiting without a heads up. My time is valuable and I don't like when people waste it.

13.  It bugs when people stand in the middle of the sidewalk or hallway and move slowly blocking everyone else from passing and creating traffic.

14.  I hate when people stare at their phones during meals and don’t acknowledge their company and surroundings. Meals are a great time to bond with friends and family and should be taken advantage of.

15.  It bothers me when people sing every word to a popular song. Cool, you know every word, but Kanye sings it better.

16.  I hate when people make bad excuses for why they can’t make it somewhere. Just tell me you won’t be there, I don’t need your life story.

17.  I hate when people sit directly next to me on the bus when there are seats available. No, I don’t want to brush knees with you.

18.  I hate when people take 20 napkins, use 2, and throw the rest away. Its just so wasteful. People need to learn how to reduce, reuse, recycle.

19.  I hate when radio stations play the same 10 songs on repeat. I have literally heard the same song twice in the same car ride and it drives me crazy.

20.  When people refuse to recycle even when the bins are right next to each other.  People always say its confusing but they’re clearly labeled and it makes a huge difference.


When I started this assignment points came to me rather easily. There are many minor things that I encounter after that slightly bother me or make me uncomfortable. However after about 10 or 15 it started to require more thought.  I am generally an easy going guy and try not to get caught up on things that make me angry.  However, because I started early, I ran into a few pet peeves and was able to record them for my list. I found this method much more helpful than trying to brainstorm from the comfort of my room.
