Why? People are often not satisfied with the present and look to either show their past off via social media or make plans for the future.
Bug 2: When my roommate begins snoring very loudly.
Why? I value their sleep and don't like to be awoken by something they can't control.
Bug 3: When I make an appointment with someone and then they bail last minute.
Why? I am a planner by a nature so I like my schedule to be fixed and not have too adjust it or waste time.
Bug 4: When I drive from Lakeland to Gainesville, I take I-75 and often I run into some pretty bad traffic, but then later I realize that there was a fender bender and people slowed down to see what happened.
Why? People are so curious sometimes that they will slow their car down just to see the people in an accident. I get annoyed by this curiosity because it doesn't affect them.
Bug 5: Often when I go to the Top, I find that the service is really bad.
Why? I value my time and don't want to be made late to my next event or to waste valuable time.
Bug 6: In my apartment complex's parking garage, a silver car's alarm goes off for five minute increments all night and then it will wait about ten minutes and begin again.
Why? The repetitive noise of the car alarm often wakes me up or makes it difficult to study.
Bug 7: When I go to Pascal's Coffeehouse, they turn the heat on whenever the weather gets under 70 degrees, and it often gets too stuffy to breath.
Why? I get hot easily if I am focusing and it makes it a hard environment to study or read in.
Bug 8: Whenever my professors don't let me out of class on time.
Why? They are choosing to take time away from me for themselves, which doesn't feel right.
Bug 9: Being told a wait time and then it ends up taking longer than they say, like when I go to the Outback on Archer.
Why? I usually go to a restaurant when I get hungry, so not being sat immediately when they say they will sit you is annoying.
Bug 10: Being called by a telemarketer over the phone or by a company looking for workers.
Why? I have to take time out of my day to answer calls and this often annoys me.
Bug 11: My roommates will take some of my eggs and tell me they will buy some for me, but instead they never repay me.
Why? They don't respect the things I own or buy and thus, they're showing they don't respect me.
Bug 12: While I am telling a story, I am bugged when someone interrupts me and tells their story.
Why? They don't respect me and choose to not listen to what I have to say.
Bug 13: When someone coughs without covering their mouth.
Why? They are risking me getting a cold and then I will have to take time to get better and most likely get behind in school.
Bug 14: In my truck, I have to put Diesel gas and sometimes, gas stations will say they have Diesel gas and then they ran out.
Why? Usually I have to get out of my car before I notice that they ran out and it's frustrating when they don't value their customers to tell them.
Bug 15: In Lakeland, something that use to annoy me was waiting in line at the DMV
Why? They don't value the people coming in because they are required to come in, so they hire slow employees and don't care how long you wait.
Bug 16: When I email a professor and they either don't answer or take a week to answer.
Why? Usually it takes them about 30 seconds to respond so they are choosing to neglect their students for their needs.
Bug 17: My neighbors in Lakeland have not mowed their lawn in 5 months and it looks horrible.
Why? They don't realize that it actually decreases the property value of my home and this makes my home look worse.
Bug 18: When you're at the airport and they delay your flight due to their being too many planes on the runway.
Why? They are choosing not to schedule the departures of planes with an appropriate amount of distance in take off time and it gets jammed up, which isn't valuing me as a customer.
Bug 19: When I see people throwing trash out of their car.
Why? They are showing they don't value the Earth and that is something I truly value.
Bug 20: When someone is smoking in my face or around me.
Why? I dislike my clothes smelling like smoke.
This assignment was very difficult for me because I don't think of life in what bugs me. Most of the things that I saw, had to do with my time, how I plan my life, and whether or not the people I am dealing with value me as a person or a customer.
Walter, I have to agree with everyone of your bugs. The first one where people pick up their phone, or send a text or whatever while you are talking to them drives me absolutely crazy. I wish I had thought of it for my list. It sounds like you really value your time which you absolutely should, I think many people don't realize how value their time is and all of the little things that happen that take that valuable time away from them.
