Bug List

Assignment 2A

“Bug”	Why the “bug” exists
1.     Candle wicks sometimes burn down into the candle and are unable to be lit.	Wicks sometimes become burnt to a crisp after being lit so many times.
2.     There are not enough lights on Saddle Club Road in my hometown, Weston.	Perhaps the city doesn’t have enough funding to pay for this.
3.     There is so much phlegm in my throat.	I am sick and not taking medicine for my cold.
4.     In many restaurants such as McDonalds, sizes are too big.	The restaurant wants its customers to eat more quantity instead of focusing on the quality of the food.
5.     The RTS bus is often late.	Sometimes being late is inevitable.
6.     There is not enough parking on the UF campus such as in Beaty and the Commuter Lot.	Only a limited amount of parking exists because there is a limited amount of space that UF owns and can turn into a parking lot or garage.
7.     Most facilities don’t make an effort to recycle. In Germany, there are machines in supermarkets that give you money back if you recycle.	Many Americans aren’t mindful of the environment and choose to be selfish or are ignorant.
8.     A lot of the grass around Gainesville is dead and looks like hay.	Many facilities either cannot afford gardening workers to water their grass. In addition, it hasn’t rained a lot lately.
9.     Gentrification of Wynwood.	Miami wants to expand their wealthy areas in order to make more money
10.  Cars that stop at four way stop signs, inch up while waiting for other cars to go, and then go when another car is going.	Some drivers aren’t sure when other drivers will go ahead so they go and cause problems.
11.  Much of Gainesville is spread out so that you can’t walk everywhere (with the exception of midtown and downtown).	It’s a suburban city whose layout is very spread out.
12.  In America, it isn’t common to have a washer-dryer in one like it is in Europe.	America is about excess and big companies want people to pay more money for more machines.
13.  Everyone these days is so obsessed with technology.	The modern-day culture revolves around technology. It is the new buzz, the thing
14.  Roommates who eat your food without permission.	They are rude and entitled or being passive aggressive.
15.  Cars are gas guzzlers.	It’s a scam so that car owners pay for more gas.
16.  Silverfish that crawl out of the sink and roam around my apartment.	Ha ha ha. This is a pun. Why do these bugs exist? Good question. Also, the real answer is that they crawl through the pipelines and crawl towards the light.
17.  Have to be 21 years old to buy alcohol.	Americans don’t believe that people under the age of 21 are able to consume alcohol responsibly. In Europe, the law is 18.
18.  Female hygiene products aren’t free while condoms are in clinics.	Perhaps there is not enough funding toward this.
19.  Marijuana is not legal in Florida for recreational purposes.	Floridians have not voted on this because they are scared of letting people legally use marijuana recreationally.
20.  Freezer doesn’t work sometimes.	When there is too much food, it blocks the freezing mechanism at the top of my home fridge and prohibits it from keeping the food cold.

Reflection

At first this assignment was difficult because I wasn’t used to looking at the world in this way. It took a bit of adjusting to do, but as soon as I embraced this new frame of mind, it became easier. I let my cynical side free and that allowed me to analyze the world around and note things that bothered me.
