Coming up with this bug list was really challenging for me because I'm a pretty laid back person and I don't usually get bothered by too many things. I had to really think if the things that make me go "ugh" and complicate situations for me.

  1. Hi Carolina;

    I think 'ugh' situations are exactly what our teacher is looking for here, so really well put. Some of your bugs, I suffer along with you, such as the Chipotle line, the phone in the bed, or the limited variety of liquor (although I drink Venezuelan rum, which they do have in the liquor store next to canopy). My roommate is a musician. Great music, but walls being thin kills me when reading or studying.

  2. I agree with you so much on number 12! I have a tervis tumbler water bottle and overtime I refill it, it leaks when you drink from it and it is very annoying. I also understand number 15 so much because I can't have dairy either. What bothers me the most is that it is almost twice as expensive as normal dairy ice cream.
