Assignment 2A: Bug List
1) The pre-workout that I use (C4) makes my extremities tingle.
The reason for this sensation is the chemical niacin which when present in large quantities can cause the tingling sensation.
2) My apartment complex has one dumpster that you have to walk to in order to throw away your trash.
The reason for this might be the cost of having personal trash bins in front of every apartment.
3) When cooking with oil, you have to keep the temperature relatively low so it doesn't splatter out of the pan.
The oil splatters when hot because when the food is introduced into the hot oil, water molecules evaporate rapidly causing the oil to splatter.
4) The top of my dish soap needs to be washed out regularly because of soap build-up.
This is due to the fact that the soap hardens when exposed to air.
5) The cans of black beans that I have require a can opener in order to get to the beans.
This is because it costs more to the manufacturer to include a pull tab.
6) I have to refill ice trays frequently.
This is because my refrigerator isn't equipped with an automatic ice machine.
7) I am unable to go to the gym after work on the weekends.
This is because Southwest Rec closes at 10 o'clock on the weekends.
8) I have to wear my retainers every night in order for my teeth to not shift.
This is because teeth move around after having braces.
9) I cannot charge my phone while I am away from my house or buildings.
This is because the only charger I have needs to plug into an outlet.
10) The light to my bathroom is on the outside of the door.
This is due to poor planning during construction.
11) I have to wait awhile for the hot water to reach my shower.
This is due to my room being on the third floor.
12) My dishwasher doesn't clean the top row of dishes as well as the bottom.
This is due to the fact that there is only one sprayer which is at the bottom.
13) The lights in my car need to be turned on and off manually.
This is because my car isn't equipped with automatic lights.
14) There isn't enough parking in my apartment complex.
This is due to limited space and desire for profit for the apartment complex.
15) The bus ride to campus takes about 25-30 minutes.
This is because I live far from campus and there are a lot of stops along the bus route.
16) The traffic on Archer road during rush hour.
There is a lot of traffic because Archer Road is a main road and only has a few lanes.
17) My roommates dog pees in the house.
This is because she wasn't properly trained as a puppy.
18) The light in my kitchen isn't bright enough at night.
This is because a few of the light bulbs have gone out.
19) The paper bags at Publix don't have handles.
It probably costs more per bag to include handles.
20) My computer battery dies after about an hour.
This is because I have an old computer and need a new battery.
Reflection:
This assignment was really difficult for me because I don't really get bothered by little things like this. I usually don't even recognize little inconveniences in my life so it was hard to point them out throughout the day.

Hey Daniel,
ReplyDeleteIn your first bug you talk about how your pre-workout C4 gives you a strange tingle, I highly recommend taking Ghost Supplements "Legend" pre-workout it gives me a smooth kick off energy without any of the typical drawbacks of pre-workout. As for as your other bugs on your list I can relate to many of them I feel with a bit of thought and action we can all come up with solutions to these everyday problems we all encounter.
