Assignment 2A - Bug List

1. During rush hour traffic after clocking out of work, the people who think they own the road and change lanes without using their blinker, in congested traffic, bug me.
 This exists because there are always going to be those people who think they deserve to get to their desired location faster than you, which results in them switching lanes aggressively with no regard of using their blinker.
2. Another thing that bugs me is when people in traffic always have to be in the lane that is moving fastest, which leads to them changing lanes repeatedly.
 Why this exists is a great question. I think it has to do with the answer above, how these people think they deserve to be at their desired location before you can get to your end destination. These people need to learn that they are the ones causing traffic jams because they keep making other cars have to stop or move out of this persons way.
3. Something else that bugs me is when some of my coworkers try to push their work onto me, giving me even more work than I already have to do.
 This exists because there are days where people are getting lazy, or want to clock out and go home. I get that, but your work is your work. If everyone to do their work how they are supposed too, we would all be going home at the right time knowing we each did our job well.
4. Another pet peeve of mine is people who chew their food with their mouths open. Close your mouth so the rest of us don't have to watch you enjoy that food so we can enjoy our own.
 Why this exists I have no idea. I would imagine that everyone at one point in their life had someone teach them to chew with your mouth closed and to use some sort of table manners, but it seems people who like to "smack" their food let that lesson soar right over their heads.
5. One other thing relating to eating that really bugs me is people smacking their food and creating these disgusting noises when chewing and ingesting their foods. Your not an animal, have some manners and respect for others around you.
 Following up with my previous "bug", when people chew with their mouths open, they are unnoticeably resembling themselves like an animal. Since animals chew with their mouths open and smack their food, comparing these people to animals may help them learn some manners and to chew with their mouth closed. 
6. At large concerts and shows, one thing that bugs me has to be when a group of 10 or more people make their way slowly in front of you, then their friend follows behind them, and so on, and so on...
 I like to call this a "train" because it is simply a train of people making their way from one spot in the venue to another, all while simultaneously staying in formation and disturbing the people they are walking over.
7. One thing that bugs me at work is when customers come into my office and start demanding stuff from me, when all I am supposed to do is control the online presences of the company.
 This is only a problem when the company I work for gets really busy during peak hours of the day. Sometimes customers will find themselves getting eager to get what they need and end up pressuring me to do things I do not know how to do.
8. One thing that bugs me is when I go to make coffee in the morning, my brother decides to leave the coffee maker dirty and still on the stove.
 This happens because my brother has some lazy tendencies in the mornings and towards nighttime, but this is normal for his as he tends to leave things in places he thinks is okay, but is not.
9. Something that bugs me at work is when my manager gets mad at me for things that are way out of my control. Such as making an order on a product from a company that he had listen next to the product in the order list, and the package finally arriving with the wrong amount of products, or even the wrong products itself.
 This would not happen if my manager had given me the proper information to order a specific product from a specific distributor. If I was provided the correct information, the anger shown towards me for my mistakes would have never been shown since I would have made the correct order on a product from the correct distributor. 
10. One other thing that bugs me is how much pain I am in throughout the day from sitting in this uncomfortable chair all day, 5 days a week. My lower back has never had such a big knot, and for some reason my tailbone has even began to start bothering me also.
 Honestly, I do not know why this pain has surfaced. I try to practice good posture and to stand up every once and while to stand and stretch my back out to alleviate some pain. might have to do with my ever-longing back pains I've had throughout my life and now that I find myself sitting for almost 7-8 hours a day, this could be the reason for these pains.
11. Something else that bugs me that I encounter everyday are mean people. If you would just try to live your life working to put smiles on peoples faces, I believe you would lead a happier life and potentially brighten other peoples day instead of degrading them.
 I believe there are mean people in this world because of how these people have been treated in the past or maybe had something happen that has made them lead a mean life. But it is a happy persons job to be able to try and pick that person back up and try to put a smile on their face.
12. One other thing that also bother me is when people are talking during concerts. You are there to listen to music, not talk obnoxiously over others who are trying to enjoy the performance.
 I believe this is happening because maybe the specific people who are talking have not seen each other in a while and are catching up. But a concert that people pay money and travel across the country to see should not be a place to hold a full conversation. Save it for after the show.
13. Same goes for people who talk during movies. The people who talk during movies are obviously not there for the movie and should be more considerate of the people who are there for the movie.
I've never understood these kinds of people. Why they feel the need to say something right then and there during a movie, unless its urgent, simply disrupts people from getting the movie experience they payed for. 
14. One thing that bugs me also is when people come into my office, close the door behind you. When people leave the door open in my office after walking in bugs me because 1. your letting the A/C out of the room 2. your letting all the noise from the machines outside into my quiet environment
 I have always known that when you ope a door, you close it behind you or behind whoever walks in after you. Leaving the door opens lets the AC travel outside, which wastes it and cost money. Another thing is they are letting bug and mosquito have a chance to get into our workspace. lastly they let all of the noises and power tool noises seep into our quiet office.
15. Another thing that bugs me is when I order pizza from somewhere and it is not cooked enough. I know this is minor, but its really hard for me to appreciate a pizza that is under cooked.
 I know this is a personal preference, but this bugs me because it is simply hard to hold a floppy piece of pizza. If the pizza does not have a cooked crust, it is simply a slimey mess and is not pleasent to eat in my opinion. Only reason this happens is because the cook does not cook the food long enough.
16. One thing I am not a fan of eating is cold, blocks of any kind of cheese. I do not enjoy eating that cold chunks of cheese and it bugs me whenever people are so shocked to hear that fact, because it immediately turns into a "Why don't you like cheese?"
 The question that arises whenever this topic is brought up always seem to amaze me. "How do you not like cheese?" My answer is always "I just don't like cold block cheese." Whats strange is that I eat pizza almost 4 or 5 days a week, but can not even try to eat a cold block of cheese.
17. Another thing that bugs me in traffic is when people don't think to look in their mirrors and simply flip the blinker on and think they will always be let into the lane their trying to cross into.
 This happens because there are always going to be those people on the roads that have no consideration for those around them and think they can go wherever they want whenever they want. 
18. One thing that also bugs me, is since I am constantly filling my truck up with gas; when people at a gas station are parked in front of a gas pump not getting gas. Why even bother taking up that space and dissenting another person from being able to fill up their car.
 I honestly do not know why this constantly happens to me. Every gas station I go to, there are few parking spots a few yards away from each pump for people who do not need gas to use. Why not just parking in one of those spots that is meant for the person at the gas station that does not need gas?
19. Another thing that bugs me is how I am 50% Cuban and 50% American. I can not speak spanish, but I can understand it pretty well. One thing that bugs me is how I took over 10 years of spanish courses throughout my elementary, middle, and high school career and still cant hold a conversation with someone in spanish.
 Now while I can blame this all on my teachers throughout these 10 years of classes, I also have to put some of the blame on myself for not being determined to learn the language. While I should have a better understanding of the language and its root meanings, I think if my teachers had cared a little more, i would feel more comfortable with the language itself.
20. Another thing that bugs me is how some of the courses I took in high school were the exact same courses I am taking in college, and how these credits somehow do not transfer since it wasnt an "AP" credit. In some courses I am learning the same things I did 5 years ago and still am required to do it, even though Ive already completed this course.
I think that if these classes are offered by the High School, I believe they should be viable for some credits towards the university since a majority of the material was very similar, if not the same, to what is being taught in class. This could be a thing because they need to make sure students know the material before advancing, but I believe this is unnecessary since the students have already learned the material at one point in their educational career. 


Trying to come up with this list of things that bug me was easy until about the 13th or 14th item. Only reason it was difficult I think was because I am trying to think of these things while sitting in my office at work. There isn't many things in this environment that bugs me, bug these little things mentioned above I have dealt with many times before. Making this list and going through each thing that bugs me has made me realize that these things are very minimal in importance in my life and I should not have to focus on these little negative things to bring myself down. If anything I should look at these things that "bug me" and learn from them.
