Bug List
1. It bugs me that the Chickfila under Standard is really slow.
It is too slow because it is staffed by college kids.
2. It bugs me that there are only paper straws now.
The reason that there are paper straws is to reduce waste, even though straws aren't what is killing turtles.
3. It bugs me when political protests turn violent.
These turn violent because it affects people's livelihood, although both sides are trying to make the world better.
4. Traffic bugs me a lot.
Traffic is created for literally no reason, I'm not sure why it happens.
5. It bugs me when my friends pressure me to do something I don't want to do.
This depends, it could be to go out or whatever, it is because they want to hang out with me.
6. It bugs me when people say mean things about me.
They are probably making it up, because I am a very nice young man.
7. It bugs me when I die in video games.
I am bugged because I am not very good at video games.
8. It bugs me that I have to do homework for this class.
I have other classes to work on and would rather not do this but I know I have to.
9. It bugs me that I am not involved on campus.
This is because I am 1. Lazy and 2. kinda busy.
10. It bugs me that mosquitoes exist.
I am not sure why mosquitoes exist, God must hate us.
11. It bugs me that gambling is illegal in the US.
I can write a thesis paper on why this is true, but it dates back to the temperance movement. There is no practical argument for it now.
12. Communal bathrooms really bug me.
I understand that they are there to save space, but I like to poop in peace.
13. It bugs me when I cook food poorly.
I am a terrible chef and neither of my parents cooked a lot growing up so I blame it on them.
14. It bugs me that paid subscriptions for video services have ads.
It is to make revenue, but the reason I pay for the service is to not deal with the ads on cable.
15. It bugs me when my roommates don't clean our shared spaces.
They are lazy and I sometimes have to yell at them.
16. It bugs me when people hurt animals for no reason.
They must be mentally sick, otherwise there is no explanation for it.
17. It bugs me when people are really mean to service workers like fast food workers.
They have no sense of empathy and are just mean spirited.
18. It bugs me when people communicate poorly.
They may have never been taught to communicate correctly, and it is detrimental to those around them.
19. It particularly bugs me when people scam others.
Scamming is very scummy, but sometimes people don't know any other way to make money.
20. It bugs me when people have no concept of personal space.
Some people are just close talkers, but I would rather stand 5 feet away than 5 inches away.
This list was difficult to come up with because I try to be a positive person. I really had to be introspective to determine what bugged me and what didn't, but I got through it.

Hey Mike, can I call you Mike?
ReplyDeleteI really heard the humor in your post and enjoyed your list. I think you had a lot of bugs that everyone can relate to and they were very broad like not cleaning a shared space or when people are mean. Of course I agree I dislike these things as well. I tried to focus more-so on products that bugged me like my cheap towel holder and my trash can as well as services like the self-checkout employees at Walmart. Maybe next time you could get more specific even though I agree with bug #3 whole heartedly.
Hi Michael! I found myself smiling and chuckling throughout your post. You did a great job of incorporating humor into your “why” sections. I thought that #10 was great! I have asked the same thing about mosquitoes. I guess that God just wanted to give bats something to eat and forgot about the rest of us. I read your comment on my blog; I agree that you could have been more detailed. Overall, though, I think your post is great. You present yourself as humble, compassionate and funny. Thanks for your blog! B
