The Bug List

1.     Being blamed for something I did not do and not getting a chance to explain

Why it exists: People do not want to accept the responsibility of what they did and recognize they are at fault. People use it as a defense mechanism, they want someone else to blame for their problems  instead of facing them.

2.     People who cannot follow simple directions that are plainly written out for them

Why it exists: People expect things to be done for them; they want all the benefits without the work or the effort. Because we live in a somewhat lazy society, people want things handed to them. If they are already used to getting things without working for them, it is what they always expect.

3.     When after getting gas, the screen for that pump says “Please see attendant for receipt”

Why it exists: No one is put in charge of making sure there is receipt paper in each of the gas pumps and that it is always full.

4.     When people make messes, but do not clean up after themselves 

Why it exists: In public areas, people believe that it is what “janitors” are for; in private, no one else sees it but them.

5.     Slow internet connection

Why it exists: Because I live out in the country.

 

6.     Traffic at 5 o’clock p.m.

Why it exists: There is not enough road space or the traffic light sensors are "off"

 

7.     That Chick-fil-a is closed on Sundays

Why it exists: Chick-fil-a strives to keep their old-school traditional view of keeping Sunday's for spending time with family.

 

8.     Being told how I should feel about things

Why it exists: People like to try to control everything.

 

9.     When men who do not even know me, feel comfortable enough or that they have the right to tell that I have a nice “bottom”

Why it exists: We live in a society where men are comfortable say almost anything to a woman that he deems as a compliment.

 

10.   Nasty public restrooms

11.   People who do not cover their cough or sneeze

12.   People who walk out of the restroom without washing their hands

16.   When a scar brand new sandals on the sidewalk

Why it exists: Some sandals are made so the when you walk, there is a gap between the inside of the shoe and your foot. Sometimes making you trip when you are rushing.

17.   When people continuously ask if they can touch my hair or if my hair is real

Why it exists: People are made to believe that African-American women can not grow their hair long and that it cannot be that of a good grade. So when women see an African-American woman with good hair, they usually believe it weave.

18.   The mispronunciation of my name on purpose

I did not find it difficult to create this bug list. The most difficult part was to figured out why some of them exists.
