Bug List

1. The drive-thru line of Starbucks on 13th being backed up into the street almost every day.
• There is only one Starbucks open during the quarantine so everyone has to go to the same one causing the line to back up much further than usual. Also, people not willing to try out other local coffee shops.
2. When people sit in the fast lane on the highway that are not trying to pass any other cars and cause traffic.
• I assume a lot of drivers aren't aware of what the far left lane on the highway is supposed to be used for.
3. When I go to peel a hard-boiled egg in the morning and the shell takes half of the egg with it.
• I am using the wrong kind of eggs and cooking method for boiled eggs.
4. When my Spotify music cuts off in the middle of my workout.
• My sister is logged into my account and I am only able to play music on one device at a time.
5. When I take a sip of coffee or tea and it burns my tongue. 
• The beverage is too hot and was not checked before I drank it.
6. The excessive amount of time it takes for my washer to finish washing a cycle of clothes.
• The washing machine is old and runs longer cycles.
7. People that let their dogs poop on other people's lawns and don't pick it up.
• People either don't have poop bags on them or are too lazy to pick it up.
8. Looking at my bank account and finding out I have less money than I thought was in there, or am surprised by a negative balance.
• I don't make enough money to cover my expenses and I don't check my account balance regularly enough.
9. When I get in my car to go to the store and my gas tank is on empty.
• I forgot or didn't have time to fill up my tank during my last trip.
10. When I go to wear something and my clothes have mysteriously gone missing from my closet/dresser.
• My roommates have access to my room and borrow clothes without letting me know.
11. When the chain on my bike drips rust onto my shoes after it rains.
• The chain on my bike is extra rusted and needs to be cleaned or replaced.
12. Waking up too early because of noisy upstairs neighbors.
• The people living above me have young kids, a dog and a piano they like to play.
13. Getting dressed in the morning while I'm in a rush only to realize that all of my clothes are dirty.
• I don't do my laundry frequently enough.
14. The internet or power going out in the middle of a test, lecture, etc.
• The connection in my building is poor and we have the lowest priced internet plan.
15. Finding Dog hair on all of my leggings and not having a lint roller for it. 
• Dog hair clings to leggings very easily and is difficult to remove.
16. Forgetting to charge my phone the night before school/work.
• My phone battery is not large enough to keep my phone alive for multiple days.
17. Not being able to find a parking spot at Folly Beach on the weekends.
• Parking is extremely limited and on the weekends everyone is off of work and most go to the beach.
18. Locking my keys in my car.
• There is no keypad on my car to get into it without the keys.
19. Obnoxiously loud yard work getting done outside of my window early in the morning.
• lawn mowers and leaf blowers make very loud noises.
20. Missing the window of time I have to put trash out for it to get picked up at night.
• There is only a 2 hour window of time to put trash out at night and most of the time I am at work during that time.

Reflection: I found it relatively difficult to come up with 20 things that bug me in my day-to-day life. I took a couple days to complete this assignment and did so by jotting down notes every time I noticed something (small or large) that seemed to bug me. I think most of us would prefer to think positively and not dwell on all the bad things that happen to us every day so it was interesting to actually write all of these things down and look over them. I did find that most of these "bugs" are extremely minor issues compared to bigger issues that I could be having, so in that sense I am thankful.
