My Bug List

My Bug List

1. When you click a button on an important website like your when your transferring money in your bank or redeeming a code for a text book and the computer just sits there doing nothing or spinning and loading forever. Scares me. What if I refresh and try again and the first one actually worked and I'm just transferring twice the funds or signing up for two textbooks?
• This happens because my internet drops at inopportune times, or because I didn't check my sign in information and something is wrong?
2. When people walk across the street and there's a crosswalk not 30 feet from them. I think at that point it's fair game to hit them, especially when they don't even look.
• Probably happens because some people are just intrinsically, flagrantly stupid.
3. When people don't have their dog on a leash, and they get mad when their dog comes running up to mine (who is on a leash), and mine isn't all that pleased with their presence.
• Admittedly, my dog should behave better. But this probably happens because they're still in the process of training their dog to not need a leash, and my dog is there to teach that silly little hopping cockadoodle-whatever that she shouldn't go running up to other dogs.
4. When I'm going through my playlist and in that rhythm of skipping and accidentally pass a song I want to hear. Then, when I hit back, somehow it's not the same song.
• I honestly don't know how this happens. Maybe it has something to do with the randomize code?
5. Just like Mr. Incredible, when I clean up my place and not even a day later it gets messy again. "I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for 10 minutes?"
• I need to learn organization and clean up after myself constantly.
6. When people try to take my food without asking. Not random people, like my girlfriend or my family members. It's my food, do NOT touch it.
• I lack manners, and so do they. But they started it, so I must finish it.
7. When I have a great vision of a comic book character or scene or something, but I can't seem to draw it.
• I like to doodle, and I'm trying to get better at drawing. I need practice, but it's so discouraging when your great vision won't be realized.
8. When they sell "Avengers" memorabilia, but they don't include Iron Man for some reason! There's ALWAYS Captain America, the most boy-scout Avenger, but there is never Iron Man for some reason.
• Not that many people must be as big of fans of him as I am, so he's not marketed as much. There's still a bunch of his stuff, don't get me wrong, but when I see that Hulk and Black Widow have their own wrist braces at CVS, and there's not one with an Iron Man Repulsor in the palm?! That's just laziness on the manufacturer's part.
9. When people say Superman is a Mary Sue, but are fans of Batman. Really? You talk about how Superman is always a deus ex machina, but then say that Batman can beat him because "Oh oh oh, he's sooooo SMART. He's got a plan for EVERYTHING." How can you plan for a fist going through your skull at light speed? If Superman wanted Batman dead, Batman wouldn't have time to prepare for it. But SOMEHOW he always does, and Superman is still the Mary Sue?
• People just haven't read the comics. The Superman Unchained series or the Death of Superman or the new Justice League comics shows that there's at least 20 different things out there that can and have beaten Superman, but he perseveres through strength of will, not by a contrived plot device (like every one of Batman's little gadgets).
10. When someone says something funny, but then I find out a day later they got it from a meme and they acted like they were so original.
• The times they are achanging, and I'm not changing with them. I'm just behind on the sense of humor.
11. When people don't treat books correctly. Dog-earing or just being negligent. They're sources of knowledge and entertainment, treat them right!
• People don't see books in the same light that I do. And that's fine, I just think it's disrespectful is all.
12. When I just washed my car, and a bird decides it's a porcelain throne.
• I need to stop parking under trees, or start bird-hunting from my driver-side window.
13. When my dog doesn't eat the food I spent $50 dollars on.
• I guess I'm a bit like an Italian grandmother that gets offended when someone doesn't eat. I just need to be patient with the dog.
14. When I'm trying to put an anchor in the wall, and it doesn't bite and starts spinning, messing up the drywall around it.
• I need to use a stud finder, or realize that my whole freaking condo is made of concrete and the anchors won't go in all the way.
15. Star-head screws.Why would you design something to strip so easily?
• I couldn't say why these things were invented, but I know the Devil had something to do with it.
16. When you have to repr something in your condo because whoever owned the place before you didn't know what a wall-anchor was, or how to properly use mortar behind the shower tiles, so now your shelves are falling off the wall and there's a crack in your shower.
• People just don't have the skills for remodeling, and I should just be proud that I have some knowledge of it.
17. When people name their kid Kyle, but it's spelled like a physicist threw up alphabet soup.
• Elon Musk was a bit of a jerk before-hand, but did he really have to go that far? As in number 2, some people are just intrinsically, flagrantly stupid.
18. How few fruit snacks there are in a pack.
• Too much of a good thing I guess?
19. When I forget things.
• I need a planner.
20. When a professor doesn't profess. They just post a recording from a couple years ago, then go over examples with very little soul. I'm not paying college tuition so they can reuse crap, I'm paying them to teach me now. (Obviously this semester and last don't count, nobody could have predicted the quarantine.)
• I understand the idea of "I should be teaching myself," I really do. It can help with understanding, and sometimes it works. But if I'm teaching myself, what do I need you for? (Not you specifically whoever is reading this.)

    This was relatively difficult in that I'm pretty forgetful and can't remember when something bugs me. Past number 14 I was kind of stretching. I'm pretty happy overall, and these things do bug me, but I get over them fast. Also, I had some trouble coming up with why some of these happen, because a lot of them are based on other peoples' actions. Some people are just intrinsically, flagrantly stupid.
