  1. Forgetting to charge your phone before going to bed, then not having battery for the day.
    1. This happens because I fall asleep while on my phone.

    1. This typically occurs because people are too lazy to correct their parking so others can fit into spots.
  20. Wanting to get food at chick-fil-a, but then seeing that their is a huge line.
    1. This occurs because may students on campus have just gotten out of class and go to chick-fil-a at the hub to eat lunch.
Refection: I found this assignment somewhat difficult as it was hard to think of 20 things that "bugged" me and could be explained. To do this assignment I just thought of things that happen almost every day that sometimes irritate me.

  1. Hi Akash! First, I want to say that simplicity that you expressed throughout this assignment its remarkable. Despite sounding easy, this assignment might make us think harder than we need. But, you did a great job on using daily bugs that in my opinion are very real and popular. The phone battery bug was my favorite overall by the way.

  2. Hey Akash,

    I think that you did a very nice job with this assignment! Some of the bugs that you described that caught my attention include people being antisocial on their phone, forgetting to charge your phone before going to bed, and when a show goes to commercial right before a main part of the plot. For me, forgetting to charge my phone overnight is a big bug of mine and I hate it when I don't have enough charge for the whole day.

  3. Akash,

    I believe you did a terrific job in coming up with your list of bugs. I can definitely relate to a lot of what your list consists of, which is ironic because I did struggle finding twenty bugs to complete this assignment. With that being said, one of my biggest bugs is traffic. So when I'm traveling or driving home, the last thing I want to see is slower traffic on the left hand side of the road. Overall, Great Job!
