This assignment proved to be very difficult which I did not expect. As an individual, I try to complain the least I can and this assignment made me believe I was complaining about trivial things I had no control over. Coming up with 20 different bugs made me truly think hard on what irked me slightly but I do not believe there are answers to correct them.
Hey Brian,
ReplyDeleteReading your list was incredibly entertaining only because I vehemently agreed with virtually everything on it. The list and their corresponding reasons were so on point, and it's great because I often find myself wondering if I'm the only one that notices such things. Number five, for example, is so great -- HOW can people not notice that they're saying the word "specific" incorrectly?! I actually included Number 1 on my list, as well, which is quite sad for Cox and their reputation. They need to get it together.
Brian,
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of your list! Especially the ones about the bad drivers!! No wonder there is so much road rage!! The either do't use the blinker at all -or they never turn it off, are we suppose to be mind readers?? And here's another word so often said incorrectly-- Can I ax you a question? I certainly hope not, but you may ASK me... ugh.
Hey Brian,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with a lot of the bugs you have on your bug list. The first one I truly connected with right off the bat because COX always decides to shut off my internet and it is one of the most frustrating things in the world. I also connected with your second one because my roommates leave their dishes in the sink for weeks at a time and it is terrible. Lastly, I also had a lot of trouble coming up with is list. It felt like I was complaining over things I had no control over but wish there was a product out there that could make others realize that they need to fix the things they are doing that bothers us so much.
Hi Brian,
ReplyDeleteReading your "Bug List" was very amusing! It's so interesting to see what can really bug some people and it's even better when classmates can get together and discuss their similar bugs. Number 13 is one of my biggest pet peeves too! When I completed this assignment last semester, I had also found that it was very complex and difficult. I think this assignment really shows us how blessed we are to live in the United States though. Like you, I dislike complaining about things like those mentioned above so if we take this list and think on a larger scale, we can really improve the world around us! Including countries that are less fortunate than ours.
Loved reading this post!
