Bug List Assignment 2A

Assignment 2A Bug List:

1.       Some of my favorite music artists not releasing their music on Spotify. Like when Jay-Z released his album “4:44” only for people who use the music streaming service, “TIDAL.”

a.       Why it exists: In this case, it is because Jay-Z is a major investor in TIDAL and owns 33% of TIDAL.

2.       People not wiping down machines or benches after using them at the gym.

a.       Why it exists: not many people bring a towel or something to wipe down machines/benches at the gym. Many gyms provide wipes to do this but don’t pay an employee to do this.

3.       When Netflix buffers while I am trying to watch Titanic or Clueless

a.       Why it Exists: people in my apartment or the library are using the internet to watch lectures, or do work which is using up bandwidth that I need to

4.       The long lines at Chick-fil-a during the lunch rush

a.       Why it exists: Everyone tries to eat lunch at the same time and the majority classes are let out within minutes of each other and Chick-fil-a is a and convenient place to eat on campus.

5.       When restaurants (Ale House) do not wipe down tables between parties.

a.       Why it exists: Restaurants try to get people seated as quickly as possible to avoid waits, and occasionally they neglect to wipe down the table to facilitate the party quickly, and then before you take the drink order the server wipes down the table

6.       People in shopping centers when they park over the lines and it is a crowded plaza (Wal-mart in Butler Plaza)

a.       Why it exists: people are generally lazy and only think about themselves when it comes into parking in parking lots, if they see their car is outside of the lines rarely would they go back to fix it.  

7.       “Slow-Walkers”, aka people who do not walk fast in Turlington, or in other parts of the campus

a.       Why it exists: People either are texting, facetiming or talking on the phone and do not pay attention to the flow of walking traffic, and hold up the traffic on busy sidewalks, or cross walks

8.        People who make commitments such as agreeing to lunch, going out or too the gym and making up excuses at the last minute as to why they can’t go.

a.       Why it exists: people’s days are busy and sometimes you can’t keep track of all your commitments that you agreed to. You could have forgotten a class, a group meeting or something like that.  We are all human we can’t do everything.

9.       Lack of Scooter Parking around the Business School

a.       Why it exists: The business school is located in a part of campus where there not many parking lots around, It is also a newer building on campus and was built where the land is available.

10.   The lack of sit down restaurants around campus (in mid-town area)

a.       Why it exists: rent is expensive in this area. And for the most part it is dominated by fast-casual dining, like Tijuana Flats. The area is also predominately for bars as well, such as Fat Daddy’s and Rowdy Reptiles.

11.    When the outside door of the Marston Starbucks is open, and not the entrance that is inside Marston.

a.       Why it exists: it has two entrances, one outside and one on the inside of Marston. It doesn’t make sense to keep both entrances open because it would be crazy trying to get into the line to order your morning, or 2am coffee.

12.    When you are working on a group project and collecting everyone’s phone numbers and you can’t make a group chat in iMessage so you are forced to use GroupMe.

a.       Why it exists: iPhone have a unique text message setting called “iMessage” that allows you to text other iPhones over WIFI, or from your computer, iPad, etc. Android phones since they are made by the competitor do not have the iMessage feature.

13.    When the Chipotle on University Ave. does not give you enough rice when you order online

a.       Why it exists: There is a limit to the amount of rice that chipotle will give you, even if you ask for extra, or for an extra scoop. But most of the time it still is not enough.

14.   People on the bus/in a public area talking on the phone so loudly to the point they are almost yelling into the phone

a.       Why it exists: sometimes on the bus or in a public area it is hard to hear the people that are on the other end of the phone cause of the background noise (wind, other people, bus noises, etc.). We don’t need to hear about you and your friends plans to “hit up mid.” Most conversations the world does not have to hear.

15.    How hard it is to open childproof packages

a.       Why it exists: Childproofing is safety precaution so young children do not get into dangerous items such as Tide Pods, or metal scissors. But still it causes us grown people to struggle to open these items and look like a fool.

16.    People make you run late because you are waiting for them

a.       Why it exists: some people just have a different sense of time and are always late

17.   People who are bandwagon fans of sports teams (too many golden state fans)

a.       Why it exists: people like to be popular in their likes and beliefs and that trickles down into sports. I don’t think 6 years ago there was so many Golden State fans in Florida.

18.     Drivers who do not use a turn signal when turning

a.       Why does it exist: People are lazy, or they do not know that they are turning and turn quickly and do not use their blinker?

19.    Drivers who drive 10-15 MPH under the speed limit when there is no/little traffic

a.       Why does it exist: some people drive slowly because they are trying to be a safe driver, when in actuality it can be a dangerous thing to drive under the speed limit.

20.    When people say that Jar Jar Binks is the best Star Wars character

a.       Why does it exist: people that are from our generation like the new Star Wars movies because they came out when they are alive, so they identify with those movies more than the original trilogy.  Jar Jar is also one of the more popular characters of the prequel movies.

Reflection:

            This list was harder than I thought to come up with. For the most part I am a easy-going guy, and nothing really bothers me too much. I notice that most of the things that bug me have to do with what other people do and not specific things in general.

 To begin the assignment, it was easy to think of the things that have bug me because they are things that happen in a daily basis in my life, and I generally text or talk to my friends about them when they occur.

After the first 5 or 6 bugs I found it really difficult to come up the things that bug me. I also found it interesting that most of the things that bug me I have no real control over, for example the lack of scooter parking near the business school or when people walk slow.

This made you switch your mind thinks and think more towards why problems exist. This gets you thinking in the entrepreneurial mind set on what  you can do to try to solve these problems that exist.
