Bug List: Hold on for This One

Just About Everything Bugs Me

This is one of those things that's just awful about being nit picky. Almost anything a person can say or do will drive me insane, but it can be a good thing occasionally. Here's a good list of 20 things that personally irk me.

1.) People who are on the phone when they're checking out of a busy store

Now I know sometimes people are busy, but come on. That's just about as rude as flat out ignoring someone that's attempting to have conversation with you. Oh wait, that's exactly what's going on. Maybe someone just called you and it's important, but if it's really important I'm almost certain that who ever is calling will leave a message at the tone.

2.) People who apply makeup while driving on I-75

Again, they may be busy and in a rush to get somewhere (maybe they woke up late), but that is just terrifying to see. I've seen people going well over the speed limit in not too well handling sports cars putting on mascara and I honestly left them in the dust in case something went wrong. I'm just too used to hearing my mother's insurance horror stories to want to be anywhere near someone doing this.

3.) The horrible WiFi at my West20 apartment

 This one is mainly my fault. I though that one stupid expensive router would be enough for four girls. I couldn't be more wrong. Between our four phones, four laptops, my tablet, my printer, and my xbox one, we're a little strapped for bandwidth. Sadly none of them will be willing to buy their won router, and now I'm stuck dealing with them until August when half of them move out.

4.) Roommates leaving dishes in the sink for days on end

We have a dishwasher, USE IT!! I get that they have classes and end up pretty busy, but somehow between all of my classes, work, and social life I manage to do all of their dishes every time. Seriously, we even have a dishwasher. It isn't that hard to use one right?

5.) The traffic that is Archer Road at 5pm

This one's a given. Everyone gets out of work or classes roughly at the same time and all of them decide to go to a store or get something to eat. Now if all of these places weren't on the same road, it might work. But just about everything within Gainesvile is either on Archer Road or off of University Avenue. Both roads get equally congested and it almost always leave me revving out behind someone hoping they hear me and move when the light changes.

6.) The disappointment of having a 4-cylinder compact car

Maybe if I hadn't driven a Camaro for two years prior, or had my mother not owned a Mustang GT it wouldn't be so bad for me. Going from 300 horsepower, to around 350 is bad enough. Add in the fact that I wen't from a rear-drive muscle car to a front-drive grocery getter, and you end up with an image of me groaning every time I get on the gas. Hopefully this problem gets resolved relatively soon.

7.) Students walking by Turlington looking at their phones the whole time

While we're all very antisocial college students, it helps to look up and see where you're going. Especially if I or the Jimmy Johns delivery bike are barreling through the plaza trying not to run everybody over. I hate looking like a jerk coasting behind someone who can't hear me because they have headphones in. This goes to my next 'not paying attention' bug.

8.) Students who don't use the crosswalks by Shands

Its maybe a few hundred feet away but no, you have to cross in the middle of the road at night when I can't see you. Then I get the look of 'I could've died'. It's not my fault if Darwanism gets practiced on the hood of my car passing archer, its just a med student not acting as smart as a med student should. Either that or they're just being plain lazy, which I suppose is the same thing.

9.) The large amount of students who can't drive in general

This may be a tick for me because I learned how to drive poorly handling cars on dirt roads but still, I'm assuming we all took driver's ed. I understand that some people are scared of cars (I find that ridiculous personally) but today they're made with huge amounts of safety features. Trust me, you won't die unless its a truly bad accident. Also, GPS is wonderful. Please use it if you don't know where you're going or are. Its on just about every phone and some cars have it built in. Just do it.

10.) Loud roommates in my apartment at 3am while I'm trying to sleep

Yes that may be your 3rd cousin from the islands but I really don't care. I have 8;30am classes and I barely get enough sleep as it is. Just text them if you really want to talk to them, because one of these days I may burst into your room telling you to shut up. And the cackling laughter really gets annoying, very annoying.

11.) Having to write this list in the first place

Again, I'm tired and I want to go to sleep. This is mainly my fault for procrastinating until 8pm the night the assignment is due. Luckily for you, I'm taking the time to slap this together as well as I possibly can while dying due to some cold that I either got at work or on campus. Anyways, next point.

12.) Getting sick the twice a year I get sick

I don't have time to get sick; I really don't. Granted I may be getting sick from stressing about classing or going all over the place, but that's why I don't have time for it. I have things to do and places to go. Why can't I just stay not sick? Come on I wash my hands all the time.

13.) That one guy who ruins the Alehouse meets from time to time

We're trying to socialize and have fun, but you come to the car meet and want all the attention. SO what do you do? A burnout, in the middle of the parking lot, with your front-drive car. You know we just laugh so why? Why must you let GPD know we're here? Its bad enough we have bass wars going on between the SUVs. We just want to enjoy the Supras.

14.) My own mildly crippling OCD

I like to keep my spaces clean. Really clean. In fact, the spots where I can see that I ripped last month off my calendar bother me. This is in part from being a military brat. Naturally I prefer order; at leat within my ow private space. I leave the chaos and hooning for outside. (bonus points if you catch my drift....that was a bad pun)

15.) The fact that I can't type any faster

It's now 8:41pm and I hate that I procrastinated. Why did I do this? I have no idea, but I currently hate myself for it. I should've planned better.

16.) Rice

I don't mean food rice, I mean car rice. Like the guy rolling down 13th with his fart can hanging off the back of his beat up Corolla. I see that you're attempting to put effort into you're car, but just save up the money for good parts. It'll do so much better in the long run, and you won't have everybody laughing at you.

17.) My own limited finances

I am 'broke college girl' too a tee, but I certainly don't spend like it. Take today: I got a new printer and went to Victoria's Secret. I don't want to even remember how much I spent today because I have exactly 73 miles left in my tank and I don't get paid until Friday.

18.) Anyone and anybody who lies

I absolutely can't stand liars. Just tell the truth. Do you know how hard it is to remember lies? Very, and people will think no better of you if you do. Maybe you want to look cooler or seem like you've got everything together, but when people fin out that you've lied you just look awful. 

19.) The medicine I have to take on a daily basis

I have medical problems that I don't wish to go into detail about. I'll end up writing three paragraphs about it that I'm sure you don't want to read. But, in short, the regimen of medications (when I take them and how much) is hard to keep track of. I can't count then umber of times I've had to turn around before going somewhere for a few days because I forgot my medicine.

0.) Being tired

I know I do a lot during the day but I have a social life to keep up with at night. Sadly I don't plan on giving up my social life, so I'll just stay tired most of the time. Luckily for me, its's hard for people to tell when I'm tired so I can get away with it until I start dozing off in the middles of class.
