I found this list very difficult to make because a lot of the things that bug me are personal or make no sense. I also found it hard to be mean because many of my bugs are because of people. I enjoy meeting new people, but there are many things I don't like that people do or say. Overall, these are all very minor things that bug me, but a good look inside the little things that I don't like.
Hey man, my old roommate wouldn't do his dishes either and it wasn't because we didn't have a washer it was due to being lazy, he would rather his mom or girlfriend do it. Also, layer up and then layer down when it comes to the temperatures it will make your life easier, it was very hard for me to come up with more than five bugs and then even harder to elaborate them.
ReplyDeleteHey Edson, I thought it was interesting how most of your bugs were very personal to you and not very generic issues. Also, i believe you and I both had the same issue where our bugs are either easy to solve, or extremely difficult, which makes it hard to create viable business solutions out of them. Particularly, I liked your text message bug the most. Maybe if there were a way to create a priority text that makes an annoying siren, people would respond quicker. Overall, great post.
ReplyDeleteHi Edson,
ReplyDeleteI must say, I agree with with your reflection where I felt bad about coming up with my bug list because most of the things on my list were about people. But I think thats okay because everybody is different and a lot of people probably don't even realize they are being a "bug" to someone else. Some of your bugs though could be thought of in business ideas which I found interesting.
