Writing this list was difficult
because we are conditioned to see the positive things in our lives instead of
looking for what annoys us. Also, it is
difficult to remember things that annoy us in the moment but are not
significant enough to make us upset for long periods of time.
I totally agree with all of these bugs, just reading them made me slightly annoyed just thinking about these happening to me. Glass on phones break so easily, hopefully someone will come up with a more resistant type glass soon. I too seem to have a lot of problems with my car, so I know the feeling of waking up in the morning to drive somewhere and having my car not start on me.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that this made me laugh. Not in a bad way, but in a very realistic, "yeah, that's so irritating" way. I can relate to most of these and they are pretty irritating. I would love to hear why they are irritating to you though. Why do those things happen, as the video suggested.
ReplyDeleteI 110% agree with your reflection. I had a hard time coming up with "bugs" because I always try to see the good in life and let the bad roll off my back. I feel it's a happier way of life that way, but I really appreciated this assignment making me step outside my box to explore the whats and the why things bug me.
I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future. Best of luck this semester.
P.S. Very clever Blog Title! Bravo!
