Bug List

1. Someone who lies to me.
This bug exists because that person is now untrustworthy to you
Answer: Many reasons. Anything from people lying to get an upper hand over someone to people lying to get out of things.

2. Somebody answering their cellphone mid conversation with you
This bug exists because that person seems like you're conversation meant nothing to them.
Answer: Maybe they needed to answer an extremely important phone call? Maybe it was a job interview? A loved one got injured? Depends on the situation if it's ok or not but it still bugs me.

3. Body odor
This bug exists because I guess some people can't wash their clothes, shower, or put on deodorant.
Answer: The answer is that people should smell their clothes often and be reasonable if you actually smell bad. Also daily deodorant is a good thing too.

4. Bad service at a restaurant
This bug exists because I came all the way to your restaurant to get food, not to wait thirty minutes in a booth by myself.
Answer: Sometimes the staff has just a few people working the kitchen at a time and if the restaurant is packed that day then consequently, it'll take longer for people to get their food.

5. Getting caught in the rain without an umbrella
This bug exists because mother nature does what she wants and can make rain happen whenever so sometimes us humans aren't prepared.
Answer: Maybe carry a little pocket umbrella or a rain jacket. Also always double check the weather.

6. Borrowed things not returned
This bug exists because either people forget that they borrowed something or they "forget" that they borrowed something.
Answer: Sometimes people just merely forget that they borrowed something. It's always ok to ask them personally and see if they still have it.

This bug exists because sometimes accidents happen, its just a pain to rebuy something you didn't have to.
Answer: Just be careful with things you borrow because they aren't yours.

19. The nation's obsession over Z-list celebrities
This is a bug because in my opinion, they will probably never know your name or who you are, yet you spend all your time obsessing over their lives.

20. People who complain about their weight, yet never do anything about it
This is a bug because some people just want to stay unhappy about their physical appearance.
Answer: It's really not that hard to take some time out of your day everyday to work out. It's good for you.

This assignment was actually really interesting to me. I've never been asked to list personal "bugs" before and I really enjoyed thinking about these. I rarely ever think about what "bugs" me, and I've never even thought about WHY those things actually bug me. At the beginning I was a little unsure of how to word this or how to answer the "why" question, but as I kept going I understood what was going on a little better and got a lot better at it! I had a little trouble on number 5 because getting caught in the rain really bugs me but it's hard to come up with an actual answer for something so spontaneous. I'm usually a very happy and positive person so thinking about these showed me a lot of things actually "bug" me!
