Assignment 2A - Bug List

Bug List

1.     At night the McDonalds on University is extremely slow and usually messes up the order.

a.      I think that this problem exists because of poor management and lack of customer service training.

2.     When people drive slow in the left lane on the highway and don’t move over.

a.     This problem exists because of a lack of proper schooling for driving. Compared to Europe the highways here are a lot more hectic and traffic does not flow as well and European drivers have to go through a much more difficult driving school and testing.

3.     When people use the last bit of toilet paper in the apartment and don’t replace it so you’re left stranded.

a.     This problem exists due to laziness and a lack of regard for others. There are few things worse than being stuck on the toilet bowl.

4.     When the chip reader at the CVS on 34^th street doesn’t work and you have to try three times before swiping the card.

a.     This exists due to a flaw in the card reader technology that this particular store utilizes.

5.     When Chevrolet Bluetooth doesn’t connect to my phone.

a.     This exists because a flaw in the coding for Chevrolet’s Bluetooth.

6.     When my key gets stuck in the ignition of my car and doesn’t come out.

a.     This is a problem because of the Camaro’s ignition design.

7.     When the hand sanitizer dispenser at the Chipotle on University is empty almost every time.

a.     The workers don’t check the dispenser to refill it regularly.

8.     When the line for Chipotle on University is almost out the door.

a.     I believe that this bug exists because of a lack of efficiency throughout the serving line. Usually it seems as if that particular Chipotle is understaffed and that could be the cause of this problem, but at least half of the time there are plenty of employees working on the line, but they don’t seem to have a sense of urgency. This could be due to a lack of training or just an overall lack of focus.

9.     When you turn on the sink faucet and water splashes all over the place.

a.     The water pressure is too high.

10. When you can’t find a high quality barbershop in Gainesville.

            a. It’s not a fashion hub or a popular location for them to exist.

11. When you plug your phone in, but it doesn’t charge.

            a. Sometimes you need to check the cord to make sure it’s in correctly and charging.

12. When you’re at Southwest Rec and it’s so packed that you end up waiting 15 minutes for a bench.

            a. This is because the gym is not big enough and/or doesn’t have enough equipment for a school the size of UF.

13. When you have to park at the top of the Standard parking garage and it take at least five minutes to drive all the way to the bottom.

            a. This bug exists because there isn’t a faster way to get to the bottom/top of a parking garage.

14. When you forget to turn your lights out before getting into bed.

            a. Because you didn’t think about it before you got in bed.

15. When your iPhone battery starts to diminish in quality after about four months.

                        a. People are too lazy to put the seat up.

           

            18. When it rains and you use an umbrella, but there is no way to dry it off when you get home.  

                        a. Umbrellas don’t repel water.

            19. When you go to Library West to study, but end up walking around for 40 minutes looking for a place to sit and end up having to go home.

                        a. There aren’t enough seats at the Library, especially during finals.

           

            20. When the water fountain spout is covered in mold and you don’t want to drink from something so disgusting.

                        a. This problem exists because of a lack of daily maintenance on the water fountain.

I found this assignment to be particularly difficult until I started actually paying attention to my everyday life. At first I could quickly thing of bugs and I thought that I would breeze through this assignment, but I quickly realized that I would need to actively think about the things that bother me throughout my day in order to create a list of 20 of them. Most of these are small annoyances that could easily be fixed, but I honestly didn’t think of them immediately. It took some thought to really figure out what bothers me.
