Bug List

When it comes to getting annoyed by people or things, I am one to be easily ticked. This list was not hard to make.

1. Every Wednesday, I drive to the UF Dermatology Towers and I am on the highway by 8am. Exit 380 always has a line backed up at least half a mile until you reach the ramp. The reason for this is because it is rush hour! And everyone is trying to make it on time to work.

2. Whenever I hear someone, especially a friend of mine, say the word "retarded"about an object, event, or person. This word really offends me because people use this word loosely and do not understand that there are people listening to them.

3. When a person or friend is dropping you off at home and does not wait for you to enter your house. I am a person all about safety and when a person does not to ensure that you are home safe, that really gets to me mental wise.

4. People who do not clean up after them selves after eating.. and pushing in their chairs. I was always taught to clean up and push in your chair when leaving. When people do not follow this innate rule I was instilled, it bothers me.

5. People who flake. I despise people who do not take a person's time into consideration. The person in the end that looses is the person who went through with the plans, and end up wasting their time when they could have been investing it into something more productive.

6. People who litter. I am the type of person to keep my gum in my mouth until I see a garbage can. The amount of times I have stepped in gum should not be tolerated. Especially since littering does not help in conserving the planet.

7. Bikers who do not obey the rules of the road. I bet some bikers on campus do not even know they have to obey the same traffic rules as motor vehicles do. This upsets me because both the driver and the bicyclist end up suffering, if both parties do not comply with their part.

8. People who share information about you when you told them stuff in confidence. This truly upsets me and saddens me at the same time. Knowing that you trusted a person and they do not respect you enough to keep the information you told them between the two of them, really is a betrayal of trust.

9. Messy rooms when a person invites you over, not only upset me but are really disgusting to be in and look at. This shows to me that the person does not care if you are living in their mess with them and they did not put in the time to clean for you. This really does not bug me as much, but definitely not a quality by husband will have.

10. People with bad hygiene. This annoys me because the person who does not smell so attractive causes the people around them to endure their stench, while they sometimes are not able to smell themselves.

11. Long nails really get under my skin. The reason behind this is because I used to play the violin for a very long time (10 years) and I would always need to have short nails in order to play and hit the notes accurately.

12. On top of long nails, chipped nail polish are atrocious to me. I either have my nails fully done or no coat on them. Just looking at chipped nail polish makes me sad, because someone spent there time painting them, and having the nail color on too long is a signal of a nail polish chipping away.. so its time to remove it!

13. People who are in the middle of ordering food and are on their phone at the same time. I currently work at a restaurant where you pick and choose what types of veggies you want in your meal and there is always that customer of the day that will be texting or checking their e-mail as they are struggling to order. This delays both their time and my time to place their order and to get them their food in a timely fashion.

14. People who own dogs and do not clean up after them while on a walk. In the state of Florida, this action is considered a public nuisance. Not only is it against the law, but it is not fair to other dog owners who clean up after their dogs while other owners do not own up to the responsibilities of having a dog.

15. People who make fun of their friends to or behind them constantly. This really bugs me, because this can mess with a person's self-image and confidence about themselves. No one deserves to be treated that way by their so called friends. Just not right.

16. People (and room mates) who do not turn off lights. Really bugs me because this shows how inconsiderate the person is being and shows if they have ever paid an electricity bill in their life before. When you leave a room, turn the lights off. So simple. Green gators are the best.

17. People who hog/do not share machines at the gym. Again, you can tell I do not like people who are very inconsiderate of time and other people. This is inefficiency and unproductive for the person waiting to use the machine and the person on the phone.

18. Again back to the gym.. and this is in regards to people who do not clean their machines after sweating on them. This is just straight up gross. Would you like to run on a machine with another person's sweat on it as well? This leads to ringworm.

19. People who do not pay back. If someone lends you money, pay them back. This bugs me because the person who did you this favor is now suffering from helping you out when you needed them. Thank god for Venmo.

20. Last but not least, people (especially Floridians) who do not use their signals when switching lanes or turning into a lot. This helps the driver driving behind you know to slow down or stop while to execute a slow and safe turn. The signals are right next to the steering wheel.. use it!

Reflection: Finding stuff that bugs me was not hard. I just had to think of what I would not like done to me and stuff I did not enjoy. Although I have plenty of things that bother me, I know how to control myself in specific situations. I do have to work on just letting things go and never bringing them up with friends, but with randoms I can play it off pretty smoothly.
