Bug List (be specific and ask why this bug exists not why it bugs
you)
I. In the morning when the rider app
tells me that the next bus is 10 minutes away when really it was 2 minutes away
and I miss it so then I have to wait for the next one and I end up having to
rush to class or I end up being late.
a.
This probably happens due to a
glitch in the app or the app not being caught up with the buses.
2. When I’m out of data on my phone and
the UF WIFI resets on my phone and I can’t get online when I’m on campus.
a.
This probably happens because the WIFI
clocks out, but I’m not sure why that is?
3. When I’m in a hurry or someone is
waiting for me and my eyeliner does not come out even on both sides.
a.
This probably happens because my
face isn’t symmetrical, or I already know I’m rushing so I’m not relaxed.
4. When someone in person asks me the
same question more than once after it has been answered.
a.
This happens because the person
probably wasn’t listening or paying attention to the answer I gave.
5. When I forget to defrost frozen meat
for lunch or dinner before I leave for school and I come home starving and have
to either buy food or wait longer to cook.
a.
This happens because I am forgetful
and don’t remind myself the day before, also because my priority in the morning
is to not be late to school.
6. When the WIFI in my apartment
complex constantly goes out and I can’t finish watching a video or doing my
homework so then I have to wait or leave and go somewhere else.
a.
The apartment complex hasn’t gotten
around to fixing the connection.
7. When I accidentally hit my leg on
anything because I bruise easily, and it usually hurts no matter what.
a.
Happens because I’m either not
paying attention, too close to something, or in a rush.
8. When I’m grocery shopping and I come
home after going to 3 different stores and realized I forgot something even
after making a list.
a.
This happens because sometimes I
make my list halfway if I’m not entirely sure of what I’m going to cook for the week or if I decide on something while I’m in the store, so I don’t write it
down because I’m already in the store
9. When people I am not close to inviting
themselves to my plans that I was doing by myself without asking.
a.
This probably happens because they
think that I’m telling them what I’m doing so that is an open invite.
10.
When my roommates do not clean the
kitchen after they cook, and they leave food all over the stove and food in the
sink.
a.
They probably do so because they
were going to clean it later, they had somewhere to be or they just didn’t feel
the need to because they think someone else will clean it.
11.
When people are rude to their
servers for making mistakes or because something wasn’t to their liking.
a.
This happens because people think
that it’s the server’s responsibility since it’s their job or that it’s a form
of unprofessionalism
12.
When I say something, and the other
person begins to express their own interpretation of what I said without allowing
me to finish speaking.
a.
This probably happens because the person
took what I said as face value or isn’t listening to understand but listening
to respond.
13.
When people come up to me in public
places, stating my name and saying they know me, without introducing
themselves when they do not know me personally, they just follow me on social
media.
a.
This happens because social media
has given people the idea that if you follow them and know their name you
actually know them, social media is surface level.
14.
When I put my phone to charge and
then realize my phone actually wasn’t charging or the charger fell from the
wall or from the phone.
a.
This probably happens because I
initially didn’t plug the charger incorrectly or I was half asleep when I did
so.
15.
When I enter into a space with
friends and friends of the friends who invited me that I haven’t met yet don’t
say hello or introduce themselves or make me feel unwelcome. I also hate when
this happens to another individual.
a.
This happens because people don’t
have manners, are rude or they’re introverts and do not feel comfortable
introducing themselves.
16.
When I put my leftovers in the
fridge and come home expecting to eat them but someone else ate them and didn’t
say anything or ask.
a.
This happens because sometimes
people feel entitlement when a fridge is shared, or they didn’t know who’s it
was.
17.
When I microwave my food for a long
time, but the food ends up not being fully warmed, so I have to keep testing
times until the food is warmed thoroughly.
a.
This happens because the food itself is dense
or layered or because the container it’s in doesn’t allow the heat to transfer
to the food as quickly as it transfers to the container.
18.
When individuals openly make fun of
others which ends up in the group collectively speaking about the individual,
especially if they aren’t around to defend themselves
a.
This happens because people find
comedy in putting down others or feel uncomfortable standing up for someone, so
they rather join in to not feel out of place.
19.
When I find something cute to wear
at the store and I try it on and it doesn’t fit me like I thought or wished it
did, especially if it’s a good deal
a.
This happens because I had an expectation,
or the fabric and shape of the clothing were only flattering on the hanger.
20.
When I can’t process my thoughts the
way I want to verbally and instead I don’t
say anything because I am too intimidated by my lack of organization.
a.
This happens because I have too many
things I want to say, and I want to say them exactly how I feel them and do not
want them to get misconstrued or misunderstood.
Reflection: I thought this was going to be easier, but It did take
me a while to come up with all of these. It’s much easier to explain why
something bugs you rather than why something that bugs you happens. I also
feel like I don’t try to think much about what bothers me because I try to not
let those things get to me. A lot of the things that bother me in terms of
products and services are minuscule and not worth being bothered over in my
opinion. As I kept thinking about ‘bugs’, I started getting a bit deep into it
in terms of scenarios with others so, I guess things like that ‘bug’ me more.
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the bug list you made because I can relate to many of them and even put some of the same things in my list. A few of the bugs that I could relate to were roommates who leave dirty dishes out and also my apartment wifi is not very good either. I also found this assignment harder than I thought because I try not to let little things bother me.
Hi Jennifer, I found that your bug list was very relatable and was well written. You were very informative and did a good job of explaining the bug and why it exits. Number 14 is something that definitely bugs me but I didn't think about adding it to my list, but looking back on it I definitely would. Like you, I also had trouble coming up for reasons why these bugs happen.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, I thought your list was very compelling and similar to mine actually. Especially in number 9, that is one of the most annoying things people can do. I also struggled coming up with my list and reasons why. Great work overall.
ReplyDeleteHello Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to a lot of the things that bug you! One of those things is the rider app that sometimes gives inaccurate information and it sucks. Microwaving food and not being sure if it is ready is also a hassle that I go through. Good job!
