2A - Bug List

1. At my local Starbucks back home, the drive through is so poorly designed that if I had parked my car to get coffee I won't be able to get out because the drive through line blocks my car in. I believe the why to this bug are poorly executing industrial engineers.
2. Global waste is a huge problem. I have some friends who don't recycle because it is too inconvenient. There needs to be a better system put in place in order to reduce global waste.
3. This summer I have to pay two months of rent even though I'm not staying there. I believe the why to this bug is that the apartment complex doesn't make enough money over the summer to only approve 9 month leases. Or that there isn't a good enough system in place to notify people of current subleases.
4. Most high schools don't prepare you for narrowing down college major paths. Many people are just thrown into deciding what they want to do with their lives at the beginning of college with having no knowledge of the real world possibilities. This is because there are not enough opportunities in high school to shadow real life jobs.
5. I never learned a language growing up and now it is much harder to catch onto other languages. There needs to be more importance set on learning a second language for younger kids.
6. The other day I was running late for an appointment and I'm so used to automatically thinking my friends will see that I am late by tracking my location on the app, Find My Friends, that I thought they would know as well. But of course they don't have my location. The bug is that they don't know if I'm running late or completely forgot the appointment. The why is that there is no way of notifying them without the risk of distracted driving. So if there was a way for people to start sharing their location on the way to the appointment, the office can run more efficiently with all the estimated arrivals.
7. One time I was waiting for an Uber for an extended amount of time because they got lost on the way to pick me up. This is due to the inefficient maps the driver must use from Uber.
8. I waste so much time on Instagram going through posts because they are not in periodical order. So if I go on after a while I might see a bunch of posts from the same person right next to each other. This is because the app is set up to put posts you might like more often at the top if the screen.
9. It is frustrating how textbooks can be so expensive for a class when sometimes you don't even use them when the teacher says you have to get them. This might be because the teacher isn't away of the resources students have now to skip past reading the textbook in order to save money.
10. Taking photos at events and then having to look back over at them and send them to everyone is such and waste of time. The reason is that there is no immediate way of sharing the picture instantaneously with everyone.
11. Arguments over dirty dishes is always a disaster with my roommates. The reason is that there was no initial agreement set on between the residents.
12. Selling my student football ticket is usually annoying and hard to do because there is no formal program to sell it on.
13. I love to go hiking and want to go hiking more but none of my friends like hiking. The reason is because there is no organization for this specific purpose where I can meet people.
14. There wasn't much empathy this semester for the work everyone on e-board did and that is because there is no way of truly understanding our point of view until you have experienced it for yourself.
15. A lot of people who need therapy don't get it because it is too expensive, and this is because it is hard for people to justify paying money to someone just for them to listen to their problems. They don't see the value in it.
16. The other day when I was checking out at Walmart, I was getting frustrated because there were a lot of customers in line and only 2 checkout lines open but like 10 empty checkout lines. This is because many of the workers are not as motivated to help due to the minimum wage rate.
17. If I am ever looking for a specific item at Walmart, I get very lost and it takes me forever to find the item due to the size of the store. This is because are no maps or search stations for customers to find which section a specific item could be in.
18. Sometimes I get really annoyed when I buy something for one price at a store, then go to the next and find it cheaper there. This is because there needs to get a universal app where you can compare prices across stores for the same item.
19. The other day I was driving through a traffic circle and was perplexed at how many people had no idea what they were doing. This is because the Florida Driver's License test is so easy now, no one has to learn that and practice it.
20. Sometimes I'll go grocery shopping and miss out on money-saving buy-on-get-ones. The reason for this is because I don't get a notification on my phone for this type of thing.

Reflection
This assignment really challenged me to look at the world around me differently and determine what is wrong with it and what could be improved. I mainly struggled with finding the root cause of the problem because it goes so far back to the beginning.
