Bug List

 This is a list of 20 bugs, enjoy:

1.    The Pizza by the Slice walk-up restaurant in Midtown always has pizzas made and ready to sell, yet the line moves so slowly. This is due to the fact that they only have one cash register and many of the late night customers that order from the counter are slow, sloppy drunks.

2.    The TapRide app for UF SNAP users is too buggy- sometimes you can’t see where the van is and the app often cancels your ride request abruptly for no reason. This might be because the app was made too quickly, programmed incorrectly, or too many people use the app at once.

3.    Sometimes, the mozzarella sticks at Graham Pod are hard instead of gooey. This is because they make a bunch of them at one time and wait for them to sell out before frying another batch.

4.    My car’s low tire pressure lights frequently flash when my tires are fully inflated. This is due to the fact that my car sits low to the ground and it throws off my sensors.

5.    The UF ISIS website is tough to use and easy to get lost in. This is because the whole navigation system is squeezed into the side bar, which further includes multiple drop-down menus.

6.    The UF WiFi in general is mediocre; sometimes, my computer or phone will have to reconnect to it multiple times an hour. This is probably due to lackluster bandwidth or the sheer amount of people on the network.

7.    The remote to my LED strip in my dorm is glitch-y. It only operates when it is pointed directly at the strip’s receiver and sometimes has to be unplugged and re-powered to even work.

8.    The cleaning lady that comes in to my dorm on Monday mornings always wakes me up. She knocks around 10am every time and keeps me up with her banter and pressure cleaning of the bathroom shower.

9.    My laundry basket has broken on two occasions because the manufacturer doesn’t account for how much a full basket of clothes actually weighs.

10. Speaking of laundry, the machines on campus give me error messages constantly. They are old and the Gator One slots attached to them have trouble reading swipes.

11. Machines at Southwest Recreation Center are always dripping with sweat. People refuse to take 30 seconds to spray it, wipe it down and dry it off.

12. The machines and weights are also unorganized in general. People will throw plates and plates on their bench press, only to leave me frustrated when I have to re rack their weights before I can even start my workout.

13. Wells Fargo is always messing up my delivery address or my name or my card number. This is because all of the employees I have had experiences with over the phone don’t know English as a first language and input information incorrectly. So, I have to call back over and over to adjust the problem, only to have a new issue arise.

14. Turlington Plaza is always a slow spot for foot traffic and can take 5 minutes to walk 20 feet. This is because of all of the bikers, walkers, preachers, advertisers, dancers, table-rs, etc. packed into such small area.

15. This reminds me of another bug, which is not being able to walk through the Oaks Mall at a reasonable pace. This is due to the kiosk employees always trying to pull me in to their little shop as well as slow walking customers.

16. I dislike when I get settled at the library (Marston, for example) and put myself in work mode, only to move when I realize I need an outlet somewhere else. There are simply not enough outlets for the desks (about a 1 to 4 ratio).

17. Similarly, I am annoyed when I get settled and the library is too loud for me to even concentrate. This is due to the fact that kids want to socialize instead of study.

18. I dislike when people in line (at Chipotle, for example) hold up the line because they don’t know what they want to order. They don’t look at the menu before they get to the counter yet won’t offer to let anyone pass in front of them.

19. I don’t like when my email is filled with spam and I have to sift through to the important stuff. Every form or subscription these days has me fill in my email and after a while, my inbox is cluttered with advertisements for products/services.

20. Getting into sporting events at the University of Florida can be a hassle. People don’t know which gate they are supposed to be at and disrupt the flow of spectators or I am unable to register for tickets in time.

This list was definitely difficult to make because it required detailed analysis of my day-to-day life. I am a pretty easygoing guy, so even thinking of 20 things that bug me was tough. Some of the things are pretty insignificant, but they are nonetheless real issues I have faced.
