2A - Bug List

Assignment 2-A:  “20 Bugs”

1.     After 6:00 p.m. or on weekends the RTS bus system does not work, making students struggle with transportation having to take an Uber or simply walk home

·      Why? I think it is because they must have a budget and they can afford to have all the lines for the buses available at those times

2.     The lack of healthy snacks on campus. When you are in a rush and you are trying to find something quick and healthy to eat, you don’t have many options…

·      Why? I think that’s just the culture if someone is in a rush they just grab a bag of chips or something like that

3.     After 7:00pm there are no many options available to eat on campus.

·      Why? This might be because classes end at that time, but what about those who have exams at 8:00pm?

4.     The lack of parking places on campus, which makes the only way to get to school either by bus or by walking.

·      Why? There is not enough place, the vast majority of space on campus is occupied by buildings

5.     When someone steals your position in a line. For example, if you are waiting to order at a fast food restaurant and someone gets in the line without waiting.

·      Why? In my opinion, this is a lack of education and respect from that person who gets in line

6.     The waiting time on the telephone line when you are waiting for customer service to assist you

·      Why? Sometimes this is due to the high demand and that there are not enough people to assist you.

7.     People who talk in the library even in areas where they should not do that.

·      Why? I think it's because those people do not know how to follow the regulations or they just do not care

8.     People who ask for something without saying "please" or “thanks”

·      Why? Again, I believe this is due to a lack of education

9.     Spam calls and spam mails.  For example, those calls offering life insurance.

·      Why? It is a strategy to sell, someone with the need of that insurance may find it helpful

10.  People who do not clean the gym machine after exercising and leave it dirty with their sweat

·      Why? Because the people who do it are inconsiderate and think that cleaning the machine they will waste their time

11.  It bothers me that my neighbors upstairs put on very loud music at midnight even on week days.

·      Why? They do not care about their neighbors (like me) and they do not follow the rules.

12.  It bothers me that I can only book a maximum of two hours of a study room in Heavener.

·      Why? I suppose this is with the idea that the maximum number of people have the opportunity to book a room since there is a limited amount

13.  The hyperinflation of Venezuela is a problem, in 2018 the inflation was about 1370000%

·      Why? Because of bad economic policies

14.  In Venezuela, nobody respects traffic signals. For example, the red light.

·      Why? This is due to the lack of education and awareness with respect to what the action of not respecting the signal may cause

15.  I'm annoyed by the very long ads when I'm watching a television show that I love

·      Why? This occurs because television channels get large sums of money in exchange for showing an ad, and even more during the time of a popular show with high ratings

16.  People who walk slowly down the street because they are distracted with the phone

·      Why? Honestly, it's irresponsible, but I'm sure I've done it myself.

17.  It bothers me when there are no gloves at the gas station to pump the gas.

·      Why? Because some gas stations have gloves, others have paper towel… it depends on the gas station

18.  When the people at the gym last longer than they should in the cardio machines when there is usually a limit of maximum 20 minutes

·      Why? This happens because nobody checks that people do not last so long in the machines if there are people waiting. Besides, it is very difficult to carry that kind of control

19. It bothers me that every time my roommates or I cook, the smell of food is inside the apartment for a few days

·      Why? It is due to the lack of ventilation in the apartment, there are only two windows that can be opened

20. When I go to the hairdresser and I say you just want to cut the tips of my hair and they cut 6 inches

·      Why? Because often hairdressers get carried away and do not pay attention to what their customers really want.

Reflection:

It wasn’t that hard for me to find “the bugs” but it was hard to find why that bug exists. I think this assignment was helpful because it made me realize things about my days that I usually don’t see and ask why that happens or exists.
