1. The line at Rocky's Piano Bar on Thursday Nights is extremely long
Why is it long- I've noticed the guy checking ID stops and talks to every other person for 5 minutes and holds up the line
2. The service at Steak and Shake is horrible regardless of how delicious and inexpensive the food is
Why the horrible service- I'm guessing since the food is inexpensive their isn't much incentive to work for tips
3. The long lines Chipotle on University has at nighttime
Why- I don't understand why people crave it so much.
4. New Movie releases. Usually one theatre plays the movie and the other doesn't that sometimes I go to the wrong theatre.
Why- My guess is since they are both Regal they rotate off big movie releases to make money and not compete against one another.
5. I hate that Krishna is a mandatory suggested "$5" donation or else you get shamed upon
Why- they use donation because you can't sell stuff on campus. Regardless Krishna lunch is a business whether they accept it or not and need to make money
6. I don't understand why I have to wait for the crosswalk to say walk if there are no cars coming
Why- to promote safety habits since a lot of people have a hard time using common sense.
7. When bikers use the sidewalk when there is bike lane right next to it
Why- probably afraid of bike lane. can be dangerous at time but now they are risking pedestrians by using sidewalk
8. I hate that some professors take attendance
Why- I guess so you get student to attend class but we are adults are capable of making those decisions. they are just making their teaching lives harder in my opinion
9. it bugs me when people complain about being cold and they are wearing shorts and a tank top
why- yeah that clothing is comfortable and they might expect it to warm up during the day but that's uncertain
10. I hate that the Winn Dixie near 6th street requires everyone in the group to have an ID when buying alcohol.
Why- for the own protection. Gainesville has stricter alcohol laws.
11. UF has a parking shortage. instead of working to fix it they get rid of parking lots to build new buildings.
why- yes UF is a prestigious university and expanding but would it kill them to build another parking garage.
12. the double standard in nightlife where women can enter at age 18 but males have to be 21
why- from a business stand point every 1 girl will attract 5 men so its profitable and males are not
13. Gator dining has daily specials at a variety of locations that usually end right before the meal plan takes effect at the location.
Why- they make a profit like that but cut the student some slacks. meal plans aren't cheap to begin with.
14. Textbooks are so expensive at the bookstore. I thought it was supposed to be a resource for student not a another debt
why- I guess since no other place can provide the textbook in person they can charge what they please. however you can typically getting cheaper on amazon if you are willing to wait.
15. When I'm at work talking to another customer and someone interrupts because they are late or in a hurry and that supposedly make them more important
why- yeah they are in a hurry but that's not reason to be rude. its not my fault they cant manage their time better
16. When students don't bring pencils to their exams and they ask to borrow one
why- on some days it wouldn't bother me because I usually bring five but when I bring two and I have to share it leaves me with one and what if it breaks. I hate that awkward moments of getting up to sharpen or asking the TA for a pencil
17. Uber drivers that are in a rush
why- I don't know. I mean your being paid just wait. your being paid regardless I don't know why you in a rush.
18. when someone pushes all the buttons on the elevator in Heavener hall
why- either they want to funny or they are having such a bad day that they want to make someone else's day just as bad.
19. When my roommate leaves all his dirty dishes in the sink for days
why- he is probably busy with work and school and involvement but so am I and I can find 5 minute to wash my dishes so what's his excuse again?
20. when I'm at work and people complain about the calories and get a calorie filled meal with a diet coke
why- yeah mentally the diet coke makes you feel better but in reality its just as bad.
I did find this assignment difficult. You never really know what bugs you until someone asks or it happens to you. The list is has it variety and some things bug me more than others. I find it interesting on how some have to do with mannerism and how others are business functions. This was an interesting assignment and I glad I know what bugs me now.
Hi Erick,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all why didn't I think of number 11? UF parking makes me so mad. I actually didn't know about number 12, but then again I'm a girl. Also, worse than number 17, is an Uber driver trying to have an actual conversation with you and they are asking you all these questions. Anyhow, great bug list.
Hey there Erick! I completely feel your pain about the bikers, I absolutely hate when I am driving my car and bikers are around because they are very selfish people. Although I profit off of the gender double standard going to bars I can understand why that would annoy you. Check out my bug list: http://lbritthoff.blogspot.com/2016/01/bug-list.html
