1. Not being able to put read receipts on for specific people.This feature is not available on my iPhone.2.

The lint filter in the dryer doesn’t clean itselfWhere would the lint go if it were self-cleaning?4. My hair takes forever to dry but blowdrying it makes it puffyNot many styling products can be used on wet hair5. Parking in Gainesville; not enough, and spaces are really tightBuilding more housing is prioritized more than additional parking6. Hearing the people upstairs walking around constantlyMy ceiling/their floor is thin7. Rayon shrinks so much in the washLooks and feels just like cotton so I think it’s safe to dry but drastically shrinks after being put in the dryer8. Nature valley bars are just one big crumbly mess, but they still taste really goodThere's nothing holding them together (like a drizzle or coating)9. Apple TV remote is designed to get lost easilyIt's very small, sleek, and thin, like Apple's other products10. When you buy a candle and it doesn’t actually smell like it’s supposed toMaybe the quality of the "perfume" in the candle is not very good11. My weather app is never accurateThe app developers are using bad data12. Wifi is slower than LTE so I have to use my data insteadThe router isn't very good or too many people are connected at once13. Blisters from breaking in new shoesFriction14. Fluorescent lightbulbs are too bright/whiteToo many watts? Or the color of the bulb itself15. Buying super glue and it dries up in the tube after being usedThe tube lets air in when it is open16. Buying alphabet letters/stickers/magnets etc and not having enough of a certain letter so you have to buy two packsThey include more of the widely used letters, like vowels and certain consonants, which may not be what you need.

When you use up the eraser on a mechanical pencil so it’s practically impossible to change the leadThe eraser gets stuck at the top and is really hard to pry out
Reflection:
Coming up with this list was slightly difficult, given that these bugs are usually only thought of when encountered. However, walking through my apartment helped me remember these bugs. For example, I found some plastic letters from a project I was working on and remembered having to buy 2 packs just for an extra "G". Some of the things on this list that are more persistent issues, such as Gainesville parking or losing my Apple TV remote, were much easier to think of.

ReplyDeleteHayley, I also found difficulty in this assignment, but I almost thought it was harder the more I encountered them because they're almost common place now. The one similarity we had is having blisters from breaking in new shoes which I found interesting. We also had a similar bug list as a whole because most of them had to do with technology which isn't surprising as we are college kids. We also looked in similar places dealing with cleaning and hygiene because these are things we encounter everyday.

ReplyDeleteHayley, I really can relate to your bug list. It is so much easier to think of things that irritate you when you're in Gainesville because we deal with all the dilemmas whenever on or off campus. One of your "bugs" that I found was unique because I thought the same thing, was the apple TV remote controller. I totally understand you. That remote gets lost all the time in my apartment and its sleek design does not help my room mates or me find it when it is lost yet again. Making my list was fairly easy, but I am glad you finished the assignment. It was funny and straight to the point. Here is the link to my bug list, check it out!
