My Bug List consists of the following 20 items:
1- When people have scraps of food left on their plate or bowl after eating and don't scrape it out, rather they fill it with water and let it sit in the sink.
This bug probably exists because if people are in a rush or do not feel like cleaning their food up right away, they just put water and let it sit to come back and clean it later.
2- The landlords office hours at Avenyl, my apartment complex, which are only Tuesday and Thursday from 2-6 pm.
This bug most likely exists because they are a new leasing company and are still trying to adjust their work hours and get their office fully staffed to be able to have more office hours.
3- When people set cups full of cold drinks that will form sweat on the outside and drip onto the wood furniture causing water rings on the furniture.
This bug exists because some people may not be thinking to put a coaster under their drink when they are at other peoples homes.
4- When people have stepped in dirt, mud, or the bottom of their shoes are dirty and they prop them onto your furniture.
This bug probably exists because people can come into your home and think that they are at their own home and just prop their feet up because they might do that at their home.
5- When people have sweat or are dirty and do not shower at the end of the day but instead they just get into their bed and under the blankets in the sheets.
This bug most likely exists because the people who do this may have had a long day and are tired so they decide they will just shower in the morning so that they can go to sleep earlier.
6- Scooters in Gainesville tend to park wherever they feel they can maneuver their scooter in, therefore when a scooter takes up an entire parking spot it is a HUGE bug for me, personally.
This bug exists because the drivers of the scooters may sometimes be in a hurry and park in the quickest and closest spot that they can find by their destination.
7- When people do not reply to text messages or phone calls but then you log onto Snapchat only to find that they were just recently active on Snapchat.
This bug might exist because people may not have gotten my text message or my phone call so they are actually not ignoring me they just have not received my message.
8- This next Bug seems to be a problem throughout the entire state of Florida, it is when people turn and do not use their turn signals.
This bug exists because drivers may be using their GPS and paying more attention to the street names or where they are supposed to exit rather than putting a focus on remembering to put their turn signals on.
9- My next bug seems to happen more than it should. When you are in a group of people with your friend and are surrounded by people that only your friend knows, and instead of introducing you to them, your friend chooses to ignore that you are even still standing there.
This bug exists because your friend may not feel that it was the right time to introduce you to their friends or your friend may have not even thought of introducing you to their friends.
10- Sometimes I receive text messages that say "OMG YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED" and when you ask them what happened they reply with "oh, I can't tell you."
This bug might exist because the person who sent you the message may not have realized they were not allowed to give away the information that happened until after they have already sent you that text.
11- When people will walk around in public places with other people around and blast their music out of their phone instead of using headphones.
This bug might exist because the people playing their music out loud in public might not have any headphones to use.
12- The residents that live in the apartment above mine in my apartment complex, Avenyl, are constantly moving and stomping their feet and furniture which creates a sound like elephants moving around.
This bug might exist because the concrete structure between the ceiling in my apartment and the floor in their apartment could be thinner than I think it is which could be causing the loud sounds all throughout the day and the night.
13- When you order a drink at Starbucks, specifically the Starbucks in my home town of Stuart on Cove Road, and ask them for light ice so that way you will be paying for more drink than ice but then they do not fill your cup all the way to the top in spite of you asking for light ice.
This bug might be because they are told by their managers that when people ask for light ice in their drinks that they are not supposed to fill the cup all the way to the ice.
14- When merging onto Archer from SW 13th street and drivers think that you have to yield and merge even though there is a designated lane for people merging onto Archer.
This bug probably exists because people might be used to driving on roads that merge like that at home or other places where they have to yield and have not noticed that you do not need to yield or merge here.
15- The Turlington crosswalk is full of people crossing and trying to get home from class around 5pm that it makes it impossible to drive through campus to avoid driving on 13th.
This bug exists because campus is particularly busy during that time and a lot of other students driving have the same idea to drive through campus instead of driving on 13th so that it creates more traffic.
16- Lack of parking spots on/around SW 7th Ave
This bug exists because this is a high demand and heavily populated area so there is a shortage of land to create a great number of parking spots for residents in the apartment complexes around this road.
17- Toilet paper all over the floors in public restrooms particularly the BP gas station at the Yeehaw Junction and Turnpike exit.
This bug exists because it is right off of an exit so people who use the restroom there might be in a hurry and the gas station might not be fully staffed so they do not have people constantly checking the restrooms to make sure they are clean throughout the day there.
18- The amount of jaywalkers in Gainesville.
This bug exists because people might need to get somewhere quickly and are unaware of where the next crosswalk is. These people might also think that since there are no cars coming they are allowed to go ahead and cross or that the "yield to pedestrians" applies to everywhere.
19- When you pass somebody you know while walking down the street and smile at them and they pretend that they did not see you.
This bug exists because the people you are waving to might have not seen you or you were to far away for them to realize if they recognized you or not.
20- When you are in your room with the door shut and someone comes in and when they leave they leave the door open instead of shutting it back.
This bug exists because the person who is leaving your room might not have thought about closing the door behind them and they might be coming back into your room so they wanted to leave it open instead of having to close it again.
Creating the Bug List for me was relatively easy until I had completed about the first 10 Bugs, after I hit the 10th one I found it incredibly difficult to come up with the remaining half of the list. This is when I realized I was solely relying on my memory to help me come up with bugs. Once I realized I was relying on memories I quickly started to focus and take note of Bugs in my daily week. Once I did this I found that it was much easier to finish the list. Some people might have thought of this activity as a negative way to look at your day-to-day lifestyle but I thought it was a good way to have a perspective on things sometimes because an entrepreneur would need to have this mindset because if there was no need or anything wrong with the daily life than there would be no need for an entrepreneur to supply needs to people because there would simply be no needs.
