Bug List

Bug list:

 

1)    When sitting at a red light on Jog, sometimes it seems very long and never ending. Then when it finally turns green, you can barely make it past the intersection without it turning red again. This can be quite frustrating because you end up wasting 5 minutes that could be critical when you are in a rush. 

-The bug exists simply because of the way traffic lights are hardwired, which means it can easily be fixed. The key would be to contact the local Department of Transportation, in order to let them know of the issue.

2)    When taking out the trash & recycling on Sundays, I find myself having to take multiple trips to put it out on the curb. 

-This bug exists because we only have two hands, so there is only so much a human can carry. The way to solve this could be by creating a cart to carry everything (including the recycling baskets), so all it takes is one trip to take everything out in the curb.

3)    When at an amusement park during the summer, it is always way too hot. Especially these types of trips that require a lot of walking outside. 

-This problem exists because there are not enough fans or mist machines in between attractions to help keep people hydrated and refreshed.

4)    Waiting in long lines at amusement parks like Disney and Universal is quite annoying. When analyzing a whole day at the parks, it seems you spend more than 85% of the time waiting in a line. 

-This bug exists because there are too many people trying to ride an attraction at once. While there are certain ways to speed up the wait-time, I feel there should be a more efficient way to get more people on attractions quicker.

5)    When getting out of a pool during windy seasons, it is always way too cold. The towel always seems to be super far away, and even if it is close, it doesn’t dry fast enough to not feel uncomfortable. 

-The bug exists usually because the towel doesn’t wrap your whole body, leaving parts exposed to the wind.

6)    When a bug gets into my house and I cannot seem to catch it. They fly around, giving me mosquito bites, and it really bugs me. 

-This exists because the door was left open and they were able to come in the house, as well as because I don’t have an easy way to attract the bugs to one spot to catch them.

7)    Not being able to fall asleep before a big day (for example an interview) the next day, no matter what I do. I twist around in bed for hours trying to get some sleep before the eventful day that follows me. 

-This happens because the mind tends to be very active when anxious or nervous, especially when there is a lot at stake.

8)    When buying meat/chicken and storing it in the fridge, the trays always leak, and I am left having to clean. 

-This exists because the wrapping paper they use is not effective at sealing the liquids in. 

9)    When I don’t finish my soda can, store it, and the gas is all gone after a few hours. 

-This exists because once a can is opened, it cannot be resealed, therefore allowing the gas to escape.

10) When people don’t respond to a message you know they read. 

-This exists because people sometimes can forget to respond back or are too lazy to.

11) When I am trying to watch a YouTube video after a long day of studying and the Wi-Fi stops working, so you are left staring at a buffering signal.

-This happens because the network is either overwhelmed or having connection issues.

12) It bugs me that right when I turn on my car, the AC starts to smell awful (almost like mold). 

-This occurs because old cars, especially in Florida, start to produce mildew due to changes in humidity, and they are hard to reach from inside the vents.

13) When the gardeners start cutting the grass way too early in the morning and they stay right by my room for half an hour even though there is not that much to cut in that area.

-This occurs because the start time for cutting the grass is very early and that side of my house is shaded. 

14) When going for a new personal record on the bench press and someone helps you lift it up even though you wanted to do it yourself. 

-This bug exists due to the lack of knowledge of when to properly spot someone.  

15) When I am in a rush to get to school and there is a super slow driver in front of me on a one-lane-street. 

-This exists because there are a lot of elderly people where I live, and they tend to drive slower (15 mph under the speed limit).

16) When my hair doesn’t go the way I want it to, and gel doesn’t work either. 

-This happens when you slept on your hair the wrong way and it forms a new direction.

17) When I am at the gym and my Bluetooth headphones disconnect randomly, getting in the way of my concentration during the workout. 

-This occurs because the headphones are quite old and tend to lose connection at times (could be wiring).

18) When I lose my wallet and have no idea where it is. 

-This occurs because there is no way to track it, as well as make it release a sound to aid in the search.

19) When I am looking for a movie to watch and I can’t seem to make a decision on which one to view. 

-This bug happens because there are so many options out there that it can become quite overwhelming when it comes down to choosing (potential solution: a picker that chooses a movie based on your answer to a few questions).

20) When I have the toon of a song in my head, but I can’t figure out the name of the song. 

-This occurs because finding a song without knowing the lyrics is quite difficult to do.

 

 

At first, I found it quite difficult to come up with things that bugged me. I know that I am very blessed and don’t like to complain about things. That being said, as I went through the assignment, I found it had begun to get easier to identify bugs that come up in my day to day life. I also wanted to mention that I see the value that doing this has because it instantly had me trying to come up with solutions to the problems I would write.
