Some things you enjoy, some things you hate, some things are just plain annoying. In no particular order, here are 20 of those things that bug me.
1) Pop up ads (companies desperate to plug themselves anywhere with high traffic)
2) Overly excessive packaging (factories not worrying about efficiency)
3) Lights that change too quickly (traffic system control)
4) Blown speakers (cheap parts and fragile wiring)
5) Spam email (websites (in)advertently giving away your contact info)
6) Slow drive-thru lines (inefficiency of workers)
7) Lack of parking on UF campus (university prioritizes projects)
8) Inability of off-campus students to buy parking pass (University assumes there would be too many students for too few spots?)
9) Slow internet (provider issues/inconsistent technology)
10) Any computer from 2014 and on having slow response (manufacturers haven't perfected processors yet)
11) People sending you game invites on Facebook (Facebook wants more opportunities to be relevant and connecting you no matter how annoying)
12) Shoelaces untying (idk but its 2016, if ropes can hold 10000 ton boats to a dock, my laces should stay tied for longer than 4 hours)
13) Pump needles breaking off in basketball/volleyball (cheap material)
14) Crumbly deodorant (cheap product)
15) Complicated passwords for non-critical websites (misplaced ideas of security)
16) 21+ legal drinking age (Reagans legal age bill)
17) When you find something on craigslist but it's already been sold (craigslist hasn't updated their operating system in years)
18) Sauce/dressing that spills over the lid when pouring (air pressure due to the design of bottles)
19) Not being able to find the used end of tape (thin edges blend in with rest of roll
20) name tags that don't stick (weak and generic adhesive)
This list was fun to come up with, but I had trouble thinking of all of them. I am very laidback and really nothing gets to me unless it directly threaten myself or things I truly care about. It was a good challenge to think about the companies involved with these and what they're thought processes might be regarding the issues.
Anthony,
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot of similarities between my list and yours. I especially liked your points about pop up ads and craigslist ads that haven't been taken down. I hate when I call someone to ask about a listing on craigslist and the owner seems confused that I am calling because it is still on craigslist even though it was already sold. Overall, I found your list really interesting to read.
Your list was very interesting to read. We do not have a similar items that “bug” us. I noticed that your list contains a lot of things that relate to technology which is where we would differ. For me taking an online is a big step and I am having to learn it as I go. Until this class I have never even made or used a blog before.
