Bug List

It bugs me when:

1. Whenever you move, you have to update your address and it’s hard to remember everything that needs updating. You could be having important information be mailed to the wrong house. This bug exists because the only way for people to keep track would be by writing it all down, but usually they're too lazy too.
2. I’m using a mechanical pencil and the lead gets too small so I have to toss it. This bus exists because after a piece of lead gets too small, the mechanical pencil can't use it anymore.
3. Restaurants throw away so much leftover food. This bug exists because they can't sell leftovers and it's too much of a hassle to do anything else with it than toss it.
4. You have to change the water on the water dispensers because they're a pain to change. This bug exists because water dispensers have to be manually changed and the water is usually at the top so it requires some heavy lifting.
5. I travel and I have to bring nice clothes, but it’s hard to keep them from wrinkling. This bug usually happens because suitcases tend to be stuffed with other clothing and ends up wrinkling everything.
6. I get stains on my clothes when I eat or go out. No matter how careful I am, sometimes I eat soup or pasta and I always end up splashing some on my shirt. This bug exists because usually people don't wear bibs when they eat unless the restaurant calls for one.
7. I get into my car and it’s either too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. This especially sucks in the summer because I have black seats and everything I touch ends up burning me. This bug exists because there's no way for me to turn the car on before I get in and I have to usually wait 5-10 minutes for the car's air conditioning or heater to bring the temperature back to normal.
8. I have a warranty on something and I either don’t know about it or end up forgetting about it when I need it. This bug exists because I'm too lazy to write down everything and I don't think about it at the time because I don't need it.
9. I have to haggle with car salesmen. This bug exists because dealerships still use this method to sell their cars. 
10. Places can get away with charging ridiculous prices for food or water like at a movie theatre or theme park. This bug exists because usually these places have rules where you can't bring food or drinks in and so they have the freedom to charge whatever they want since people have no other option.
11. I forget that I’m doing laundry and I leave my clothes in the machine or drier for too long. This bug exists because I'll be doing something else to pass the time and I don't always hear the buzzer so I end up completely forgetting about it.
12. The traffic light is green for literally 3 seconds, even during rush hour. This bug exists because I guess usually cars don't get that backed up for that lane.
13. I'm on an airplane and there's a baby that won't stop crying. This bug exists because babies can't control their emotions and I'm limited to where I can go on the plane.
14. I wear sunglasses on the beach and the sand messes them up. This bug exists because between the lens and the frame, there are small cracks that allow sand to get in and usually you can't get it out by blowing on it.
15. After going to the beach, your car gets sandy and it smells like the beach. This bug exists because even though people shower after, there's always still sand in your hair or other areas and it ends up all over the car seats.
16. I come back to my apartment late and I have to park 2 miles away from where I live. This bug exists because the good parking spots are limited and are usually first come, first serve.
17. My friends and I are trying to play basketball outdoors, but when we get there there are already people playing. This bug exists because we don't have a way to check to see if the courts are open so we have to take a gamble every time.
18. Homeless people don't know about the services/help available for them. This bug exists because it's harder for homeless people to find out since they don't have a lot of resources.
19. My car's headlight goes out and I don't even know unless someone else points it out or I get pulled over. This bug exists because there's no indicator on your car to alert you when your headlights aren't working.
20. You go to the gym and there are so many people there that you have to wait for every workout that you want to do. This bug exists because people tend to go all at the same time and usually the times they don't go are either too early or too late.

Reflection:

Coming up with the bug list was a little challenging because it required a lot of recalling. Usually when I notice these bugs, I don't really think twice about it and usually just deal with it. It was an interesting exercise to try and go deeper as to why they exist. By identifying the core issue of the problem, it's easier to come up with a solution or product to help people. Hopefully in the future, when I come across more bugs, I'll be able to try and fix them rather than not do anything or complain about them.
