2A- Bug List

1. Very hot showers
• Ever since coming to Beaty Towers on the fifth of January every time I have to take a shower the water starts for a brief couple of seconds its cold but then it turns scalding hot and the temperature only gets hotter with each passing moment.
• Why does it EXIST: Perhaps there is a problem with the plumbing that is causing this problem. Wonder if anyone on the floor has the same problem?
2. Walking across the street the same time a scooter is passing
• It really irritates me having to cross the street the same time someone on a scooter is passing through because of fear I might get hit with one.
• Why does it EXIST: Many college students could be using scooters as a mode of transportation to get to classes seeing as they would be able to get there faster then by car.
3. Huge amounts of reading for different classes
• For some of my classes there is a lot of reading that it takes three or four hours for just one chapter which also bores me to tears.
• Why does it EXIST: It is just the requirement for the class and nothing can be done about it.
4. No lock on the bathroom door of my dorm room
• Now this problem has been discussed between my roommates that if the bathroom door is closed then someone is in there, but that's knowledge for the people who live here my concern for that is the people who might come visiting the room and don't know about that problem. This irritates me because how is it that in a bathroom in any of the campus buildings for the stalls there at the very least a push lock that prevents the door from opening but there isn't a lock on bathroom at a place we are suppose to live at for two semesters.
• Why does it EXIST: Maybe the doors that were put into the bathrooms are just like that but its weird since I lived in Beaty last year as well and the bathroom had a lock for that door, so just WHY?
5. The cold weather
• I don't usually stay outside for very long but when I do sometimes the cold starts getting me that not even wearing a hood or hat helps.
• Why does it EXIST: It's just that time of year again where the weather is cold and nothing can be done about it.
6. People smoking
• If there is one thing I can't stand is people who smoke or in general the smell of the smoke that comes from cigarettes or any kind of smoke. It makes it hard to breath and when I breath through my nose the smell of of smoke gets in my mouth and I to spit it out really quick.
• Why does it EXIST: There are some people in the world that pick up bad habits despite all the anti-smoking talks they must have heard when there were at elementary, middle, and high school.
7. No place to sit when I go out to eat
• When I go out to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner one problem I usually have to look out for is that there is a table that isn't occupied by people. If the place is packed I have to constantly search for an unoccupied seat or wait for someone to leave if its really packed.
• Why does it EXIST: The areas that I go to are probably popular lots of people enjoy going there.
8. Bugs that get in your face
• Sometimes after it rains when I am walking or bicycling small bugs always hit my face and some times get in my eyelids.
• Why does it EXIST: Perhaps the insect just enjoy the moisture after it rains or the just show up randomly.
9. Weak charging phone
• Sometimes my phone has a problem charging, like for instance sometime the powers goes down even if it is connected to the charger and I always end up having to restart my phone to fix this problem.
• Why does it EXIST: Perhaps it has something to do with the phone charger or the apps that I use that are draining it battery too fast.
10. Heavy walking traffic
• When I go to class I usually take my bike to get there faster but lately there have been a amount of students blocking the path I need to go through to get to class and I just end up walking my bike.
• Why does it EXIST: Maybe lots of students have classes around this time which would explain why there is so many of them going in either the same or opposite direction. Or it could be that classes end for these students and they are trying to get somewhere else.
11. No parking space on move in days
• When I moved into Beaty Towers this semester there was hardly any place to park since the parking lot was packed full of cars.
• Why does it EXIST: Move in day usually means that there is a lot of people coming in early to get settled into their dorm rooms so that they can be ready for the first days of classes 
12. Tripping on an uneven sidewalk
• When walking I don't always look down where I am stepping and sometimes I end up almost tripping.
• Why does it EXIST: Perhaps when they were being made, the sidewalks just became uneven. Or perhaps as the years that went by the sidewalks just became uneven.
13. Getting leg stuck in small hole in the ground
• Sometimes when I am walking on the grass there can sometimes be a hole the ground that I didn't notice and my foot would get stuck in it. And if I were running when this were to happen I could end up twisting my foot and that would hurt a lot.
• Why does it EXIST: Maybe those holes in the ground were made by an animal or was made by a worker working on the plumbing.
14. The washing machines and the dryers at Beaty having problems.
• When I need to use one the machines to either wash or dry sometimes the machines have problems where they don't work or accept the debit card or coins I put in.
• Why does it EXIST: The machines are probably old and haven't been checked on in years.
15. The locks of my dorm rooms sometimes get stuck.
• When I need to unlock of lock my dorm room door turning the key can be a hassle that I have to constantly turn it in both directions to make sure it is going in the right direction.
• Why does it EXIST: Maybe the inside of the lock is rusty or I don't close the door right.
16. Fire alarms in the middle of the night 
• This happened last year as well where a fire alarm sounded on the first week of the spring semester. It can be so annoying when they just sound out of the blue because last year I was sleeping and this year I was in the middle of doing homework. And it went the same as last year meaning waiting outside in the freezing cold.
• Why does it EXIST: Maybe it was a routinely check or something could have set it off.
17. Nobody flushing in public bathrooms
• Sometimes when I go to a public restroom there seems to be that one person who can't be bothered to flush. I always end up using my foot to push down the flush handle.
• Why does it EXIST: Perhaps there are just some people in the world who weren't brought to flush the toilet after each use or they feel that since they don't live there its not their job to flush after they use it.
18. Stepping on gum
• There are very few times where I not noticing where I am walking sometimes step on pre-chewed gum.
• Why does it EXIST: Perhaps don't look where they spit their gum or they just don't care.
19. Foggy mirror
• After using the bathroom after someone else who took a shower the mirrors are all foggy.
• Why does it EXIST: Some people take really long showers in hot or warm water which could be the cause.
20. Long lines at the DMV
• When I went to the DMV to take the written exam I had to wait nearly two hours to take a sixty minute test.
• Why does it EXIST: Perhaps there are many people who don't set up appointments to finish their business or that they have different needs and the DMV is too small with only a few workers.

Reflection:

This assignment was moderately difficult because coming up with 20 different bugs along with their explanation and the why it exists. It took a lot of time and effort to think of 20 different things that bug me. It took a lot of deep thought to come up with these bugs and to think if any of the bugs I thought of whether or not it is an issue to me. I had some difficulty coming up with these bugs because there were not that many things I could think of. I had many periods where I drew blanks and couldn't think of anything because I wasn't used to thinking of this kind of thing. But in the end it was a rather interesting assignment and hopefully not as difficult as some of the other future assignments.
