Here's my list of 20 bugs!
- When my roommate leaves his used plates on the table. Why? Maybe because he wasn't raised to do so.
- When my roommate leaves food on his used plates for hours (sometimes days). Why? He doesn't care about his personal hygiene.
- When my roommate decides to finally put his used plates away, but puts them in the sink with food still on them and leaves them there for days thinking they're clean. Why? He must've not learned about the dangers of bacteria.
- When my roommate puts a gallon of full expired milk in the recycling bin in the laundry room (Mind you our recycling bin is just an open plastic storage container on the floor). Why? He must not know that rancid milk smells like death.
- When my roommate puts two loafs of moldy bagels in the recycling bin in the laundry room. Why? He must've not gotten the memo that mold is incredibly dangerous for your health!
- When my roommate tosses his shoes all over the common area. Why? Perhaps he's lazy.
- When my roommate opens my door without knocking. Why? Because he doesn't know too much about common courtesy.
- When my roommate hogs up the kitchen and I can't cook. Why? Because I didn't beat him to it.
- When my other roommate has never come out of his room in the time that I've been living with him. Why? Because he's hiding from the mess my roommate has made outside (seriously though he's just a shy guy).
- When I get to Hume field on campus to play soccer and there's no parking spots left. Why? Because I was late and everyone beat me there.
- When I have to withdraw money to pay for cover at Mid or downtown. Why? Because it's a quick and efficient means to get people into the club.
- When I get an opening shift and have to wake up at 4:30AM. Why? Because we all have to share opening shifts, otherwise it'd be unfair.
- When customers at work treat you like you killed their mother. Why? Perhaps they're just having a bad day.
- When my favorite team loses. Why? Because they didn't train hard enough.
- When I go to a water park and someone steals my shoes while I'm on a ride. Why? Maybe they couldn't afford their own.
- When I try to go to campus at 5 and a traffic light takes 47 minutes to turn green. Why? Because it's prime rush hour baby.
- When my phone breaks and I can't hear anyone on the phone, nor can they hear me. Why? Because Apple hardware is designed to break after 2 years.
- When I go to a lecture and there's people leaning on the doors from how packed it is. Why? Because I was really, really late.
- When people sneak their friends over to their seats that they're not assigned to at the football games and it becomes a sweaty and unpleasant experience. Why? Because people want to watch with their friends.
- When all you wanted was some Chipotle but there's a fundraising event that night and the line is out the door. Why? Because people were raising money for a good cause.
To be entirely honest, I got nearly half of this list done in under 5 minutes (guess which ones). The rest of this list was admittedly difficult to come up with though; perhaps life isn't too bad?
Jake, your bug list absolutely had me laughing. It seems your roommate has some bugs that he could work on (messing around). I enjoyed your list and this assignment was able to allow both of us to at least think a little more critically of what grinds our gears. There is definitely some underlying unmet needs in your list as well as some funny lighthearted bugs.
