2A - Bug LIst


1. Lack of healthy food options on campus
   WHY it exists: Healthy food is more expensive and fast food options (ex. Subway, Wendy’s, and Pollo Tropical) are more affordable.

2. Limited parking locations on campus for red 3 decals
   WHY it exists: Students with higher credits are able to have more options for parking and there’s limited space on campus for those with less credits.

3. No dining areas are open 24 hours on campus
    WHY it exists: It’s more expensive to have a place open all the time and potential workers want to be able to go home at a reasonable hour.

4. Long lines at Walmart during rush hour
   WHY it exists: People tend to get off work at the same time and because of its location and affordability, it’s a popular spot.

5. Recycling center is far away from housing
   WHY it exists: Recycling collectors usually access it by a vehicle and it’s easier to pick it up from one place instead of every doorstep.

6. Required new editions of textbooks for classes
   WHY it exists: Providers want to make money and there’s an occasional change of content between editions.

7. Creases in shoes (leather usually)
    WHY it exists: Shoes get worn down with use and especially with leather it’s something that’s difficult to prevent.

8. Shrinking clothes
    WHY it exists: Fabric’s reaction with heat and people’s general forgetfulness of not reading washing instructions.

9. Having trouble registering for classes
    WHY it exists: Popularity with classes/professors and different registration times.

10. Disposing old electronics (phones, old gaming consoles, DvD players)
      WHY it exists: New technology comes out and there’s no use for the old technology. There’s no proper recycling centers in place either.

11. Running out of memory on your phone 
      WHY it exists: Limited space on your phone, having too many pictures/apps, and not utilizing the cloud.

12. Getting leaves under the hood of the car
      WHY it exists: Parking under trees, wind, and exposed areas on the car.

13. Limited seating in Newell Hall
      WHY it exists: Too much open space and not enough chairs and tables.

14. Campus Chick-Fil-A doesn’t take gift cards 
      WHY it exists: May not be a full chain or because it’s located on campus.

15. Laundry machines don’t accept Gator 1 card in Hume Hall
     WHY it exists: System is not up to date.

16. Glasses sliding down face
      WHY it exists: Sweat prevents the nose-sitters on glasses from remaining stationary.

17. Getting a water cup and being given a smaller cup from Pollo Tropical in the Reitz Union
      WHY it exists: They don’t want to be scammed for a refill if it wasn’t paid for.

18. Limited bus routes on campus on the weekends
     WHY it exists: Less people on campus so there’s not as great as a need for the buses to run as often.

19. Having small desk space when taking exams in Turlington Hall
      WHY it exists: Building hasn’t been renovated and current seats are still functional.

20. iPhone speakers getting clogged with dust and lint
     WHY it exists: Exposed to the air and pockets

I found writing the bug list to be difficult since I don’t really consider how to solve the small problems I encounter in my daily life. My mind isn’t trained to spot the problems and find the root cause of why that problem exists. Usually, I have a second or two of annoyance and I move on with my day. In addition, trying to come up with bugs when they didn’t happen in the moment was also challenging.

  1. Hey Ashley great job on your post. I also found it a little difficult to come up with things that bug me, so it was cool learning the bugs that you came up with. Some I read that also bother me that I did not even think of! I also think you did a great job at explaining why these bugs happen.
