My Bug List

1.) It bugs me when the Dunkin Donuts on Archer Road does not pay attention to my order and they give me the wrong size coffee so I have to go inside to switch it out.
This bug exists because they are in a hurry to get people through the drive-thru and do not pay close attention to what the order is.
2.) It bugs me when the Cox Internet stops working because of something on their end and not on mine.
This bug exists because they need to provide better internet services.
3.) It bugs me when I need to return something to Walmart and the line at Customer Service is so long its wrapped around the area.
This bug exists because they usually have one person working customer service.
4.) It bugs me when I go out to eat at Red Robin and my waiter is slow and also in a bad mood.
This bug exists because people come to work in a bad mood and take it out on the customer instead of remembering that we are the reason they have a job.
5.) It bugs me when I order a steak at Outback and they did not cook it medium and cooked it well done instead, so I have to send it back to the cooks to remake it and then it takes 20 minutes to get a new one.
This bug exists because the cooks are not paying attention to the steak that is on the grill and are overcooking it, then they have to cook a whole new steak which takes time.
6.) It bugs me when I buy a brand new iPhone charging cable and it breaks within a few days causing me to purchase another one.
This bug exists because they make these cords out of cheap material that breaks easily so that we are forced to keep buying new ones.
7.) It bugs me when I drop my iPhone and the screen shatters even though I had a case on it.
This bug exists because they make the iPhone screens out of glass and it easily breaks so that you have to replace the screen.
8.) It bugs me when the straps on my thin-strapped dresses break after I wash them in the washer machine.
This bug exists because the material is cheap and also the washer machine is too harsh on my clothes.
9.) It bugs me when I try to go to look at cars that I might want to buy and the salesperson is being too aggressive trying to sell me this car.
This bug exists because they are trained to sell cars, however, because they really want to sell a car they don't always realize they could be scaring potential customers away by coming on too strong.
10.) It bugs me when I order clothes online in my size and when I receive them in the mail they are not the same measurements as shown online and they do not fit me.
This bug exists because they did not measure the actual clothing item and did not bother to advertise correctly.
11.) It bugs me when I read an instruction manual for putting together a bookshelf and it's more confusing than me just trying to put it together myself.
This bug exists because they try to find a system of instructions that is simple, however, they do not ensure that it is the most simple and efficient way for the majority of consumers.
12.) It bugs me when I buy a brand new camera and I'm really excited to use it, however, batteries are not included so I have to go purchase batteries before I am able to use it.
This bug exists because they do not include batteries with these items and instead make it a bigger hassle for the consumer so they have to purchase them separately.
13.) It bugs me when I try to buy a used video game at a discounted price but the disc is so scratched that it will never work properly.
This bug exists because of the negligence of the workers in buying used video games that are fully functioning.
14.) It bugs me when I buy a used textbook for my classes that has been highlighted and written in which distracts me while I am reading,
This bug exists because these textbooks companies allow students to write in and highlight their textbooks without thinking about the students that might use the textbook after.
15.) It bugs me when I purchase a bottle of Krazy super glue and it all comes out when I open it.
This bug exists because the glue is very thin and the bottle is not designed for the liquid, if you squeeze it at all the glue comes pouring out.
16.) It bugs me when I run out of conditioner before I run out of shampoo.
This bug exists because they put the same amount of both in each bottle, however, you don't need as much shampoo as you do conditioner.
17.) It bugs me when I order a salad at the Chipotle on University Avenue and the lettuce they use is wilted and turning brown.
This bug exists because they are serving lettuce that has gone bad and needs to be thrown out instead of opening a nice new bag of lettuce.
18.) It bugs me when the chips at Chipotle on University Avenue are stale and taste bad.
This bug exists because the chips are not cooked right or they have been sitting out too long and have gone bad from not being properly sealed.
19.) It bugs me when I am shopping at Walmart and I am unable to reach food on the very top shelf, however, there are no employees around to assist me in reaching it.
This bug exists because Walmart is usually understaffed or their employees are not where they are supposed to be.
20.) It bugs me when I purchase a size small t-shirt and after I dry the shirt it does not fit me anymore.
This bug exists because shirts are not pre-shrunk and instead the cotton shrinks after being dried, sometimes causing your clothes not to fit anymore.


Completing my Bug List was fairly challenging because even though these problems do exist, they are not problems I am constantly thinking about. However, once I started thinking of a few I feel as if it did become easier to list the rest. Thinking of a few lead me to thinking of more products or services that bug me. I also think it was somewhat challenging because I feel as if I am being a picky customer and identifying every little thing wrong with these products and services that I purchase instead of being happy because of what they provide me with. It's crazy to me that although these things bug me I have not really done much to address these problems and instead I deal with them each time I am presented with the problem.
