2A - Bug List

It bugs me...

1. When Netflix suggests movies that I wouldn't find particularly interesting

Why: Netflix makes suggestions based on what is popular overall and not really what you will like

2. When I don't have enough time to finish an assignment

Why: Poor time management on my end

3. When News outlets take situations out of context for views (Covid-19)

Why: They do it for an increased rating

4. When millionaires ask for the public to donate to charities/ programs when they haven't donated themselves

Why: Because they were pressured or told by their managers/agents

5. When I go to the store for one item during the day and the lines are long

Why: I go during times in which everyone gets out of work

6. When I go to the gym during the evening/ early night and I spend most of my time waiting for a machine to open up

Why: This is a popular time for people to go

7. When I am watching YouTube videos and there are multiple ads during one video

Why: The creator monetizes as much as they can

8. When people want to protest a virus yet wear a mask during the protest

Why: Lack of knowledge/ common sense

9. When I binge-watch a show and the next season is not even in production

Why: I get carried away and don't pace myself

10. When I was my car and the next day it rains

Why: I do not check the weather and I have bad luck

11. When I am trying to sleep and my apple watch keeps vibrating with notifications

Why: I usually take naps during the day and I forget to set it on do not disturb

12. When professors think their class is the only class I am taking and assign a plethora of work

Why: They think very highly of their class

13. When my dog drinks/ eats and makes a complete mess

Why: He's not trained

14. How every major production company is starting its own streaming service

Why: They want to make more profit since cable tv is dying

15. When classes require an access code that cost just as much as the class did

Why: The author needs to make money for the time they took to research and write the book

16. When Uber prices increase later into the night or during large events

Why: These are high demand time and times in which not a lot of people are working thus supply decreases while demand increases

17. When the ice cream machine at fast-food restaurants always being down (Mcdonalds)

Why: The high demand for the ice cream means the machine runs more often and thus reduces the life of the machine

18. When I am taking an exam on proctor u and the proctor wants me to completely clear my desk even though my desk doubles as a bookcase stand

Why: They want to ensure that I am not cheating

19. When Walmart runs out of toilet paper

Why: People get paranoid and panic and for some reason think it's a great idea to stock up on toilet paper

20. When airlines charge more for a ticket as the departure date gets closer

Why: I think it should be the opposite as they have an empty seat on a flight but maybe because if someone really needs that seat they are willing to pay more for it

Reflection: For some odd reason I found it rather difficult towards the middle of my bug list, at first I was able to think of a few good things that instantly came to mind. The same can be said for the ending, I felt like I ended strong but the middle was hard. I didn't think it would be hard to actually think of these since most of these things happen in real life and I forget about them almost instantly.
