Reflection:


The task of listing 20 things that bug me appeared to be easy at first, but ended up being relatively difficult. Obviously there are several small nuisances that bother people, but most of which are hard to think of on the spot. Typically things that bother you are based off reaction and situation rather than your actual dislikes.

  1. Hi Eric! Even though our lists aren’t exactly the same, I definitely have also experienced a lot of these bugs. My roommates also can be lazy and forget to pick up after themselves or are loud in the morning when I’m trying to sleep. I had the exact same bug about the library being full during finals week, it really annoys me because the library is the only place I can really focus. Here’s the rest of my list: http://nicmcq.blogspot.com/2016/01/bug-list.html
