Bug List

1. Why does my sink always clog when I shave?

Because the hair is gathering in the clog and not allowing the water to drain

2.  Why do I always seem to get gum on my shoe?

Because gum doesn't deteriorate and a lot of people throw it on the ground

3. Why can't I ever find the TV remote?

Because it's not placed in the same place or the dog knocks it off the couch

4. Why does my phone battery get exponentially worse through time?

Because the cells are going bad and the company probably wants me to buy a new one

5. Why do my tires sometimes go flat in the cold?

Because the cold slows down air particles, which decreases pressure

6. Why do I lose my golf balls so easily even though they're just laying in the grass?

Because the balls are sometimes too reflective

7. Why does the traffic on Archer Road get so terrible after 5 P.M.?

Because it is one of the only major roads that leads to the highway

8. Why do my shoe laces untie so easily?

Because there may not be enough friction keeping them from pulling

9. Why is movie theater food so expensive?

Because there is no competition for food within the theater

10. Why do I always lose socks in the wash?

Because they must some how slip through cracks in the machine

11. Why does a Big Mac middle bun always fall out the back side?

I'm guessing because the sauce is slippery

12. Why does my wallet fall out of my sweat pants' pocket whenever I sit down?

Because there's nothing stopping it from sliding out and the pockets are too small

13. Why does my phone or wallet always fall under the seat of my car?

Probably because they're able to fall out of my pocket and there's nothing stopping them

14. Why are there so many Wifi dead spots in my house?

Because the box isn't strong enough to reach some areas

15. Why does Snapchat take up so much battery?

Because there's something about the combination of using the camera and internet that kills battery

16. Why are lines at Midtown so long?

Because the buildings and spaces aren't being utilized efficiently

17. Why do paper plates always stick together?

Because of their packaging and material

18. Why does sliced bread get moldy so quickly?

Because the packaging doesn't help preserve it long enough

19. Why do ceiling panels make such a big mess when you move them?

Because the material is so brittle

20. Why do hats increase hair loss?

Because they tire out the hair follicles

Creating my list of bugs was definitely challenging, but it always got easier when I ran into problems that reminded me of other problems that irritate me. Sometimes it was difficult to come up with a bug that had a justified reason for existence. So it was difficult to think of bugs that might have business solutions behind them. Like stated in the video, the first few were much easier to think of because they were so obvious to me. I think it is good that I was able to come up with a list that had a wide variety of bugs.

  1. Mark,
    I like the format in which you wrote down your bug list. As I was reading it the only one I really related to was the one about McDonald’s and the bun on a Big Mac. I have no shame in admitting this and I feel like more people should write customer reviews about it! Like you, I too found my bugs as soon as I encountered them throughout the day.
