- The 122 bus has such a large interval in between when it stops by my apartment, so I often miss it or end up having to walk.
- Why: There are only a few 122 buses that run that route so after the 20 minutes when both buses make separate stops at my apartment complex, there is about a 50 minute interval before they would stop at my apartment again.
- Having to restrict my eating habits so that I can lower my cholesterol and not have a heart attack before I am 30.
- Why: I did not watch what I ate closely the past couple years and my parents both have high cholesterol so my genetics are already prone to high cholesterol.
- Online classes that do not use the Canvas calendar for assignment due dates.
- Why: These classes use other websites to assign homework and quizzes and the due dates are not inputted into Canvas.
- When people don't use turn signals and you have to brake super hard to avoid rear-ending them because they slow down out of nowhere and turn off so slowly.
- Why: People are too lazy to put on their turn signal or forget to turn it on to let other people know their intentions.
- When people pull out in front of you and cause you to slow down a lot from the pace you were going instead of just waiting for you to pass and pulling out behind you because you were the only oncoming car.
- Why: People misjudge the distance between your car and theirs and don't take into account the velocity with which your car is moving relative to their stopped car.
- Having to buy/rent expensive textbooks that I am only going to open a handful of times to do about 2 assignments the entire semester.
- Why: The course requires you to buy a textbook and the publisher has to charge an insane price in order to recover the investment they put into the book because they don't expect to sell many copies of each book since the market for textbooks is so niche.
- Having to take my trash to the dumpster downstairs and walk down a bunch of stairs with it every time the trash is full.
- Why: There is no trash chute or receptacle on my floor of my apartment, so I have to dump my trash in the dumpster on the ground level that the garbage truck picks up.
- You just want to watch one YouTube video and then 3 hours later you are still watching YouTube and find yourself questioning everything about life.
- Why: YouTube's suggested video algorithm and autoplay feature are very well done and continue to keep you sucked into the void that is YouTube until you finally wake up and find that you have been watching videos for the past couple hours.
- Buying a product and then finding it for a cheaper price somewhere else a few days later.
- Why: It is hard to compare prices from store to store because not all websites are accurate about the prices of products and it is not practical to drive from store to store to see the difference in price between a product because that would waste more money in gas than you would probably save on the product.
- Gas prices are always so high.
- Why: It takes money to ship the gas inland and various factors such as seasonal changes in demand or a problem with an oil rig can raise the prices drastically as well.
- When someone waves at a person behind you but you think they are waving at you so you wave back and then feel embarrassed.
- Why: Your brain tells you that even though you have never met this person before, you know them, and rather than be rude and ignore them you give a slight wave so as to be courteous and then realize that they are, in fact, greeting someone walking behind you.
- Waiting in the long line at the Chick-Fil-A at the Hub.
- Why: Everyone loves Chick-Fil-A and the Hub is always busy because it is centrally located.
- People claiming that UCF are national champions.
- Why: UCF went undefeated in one season because they play in the AAC and don't play any good teams. If they played in the SEC they wouldn't even win half of their games.
- You can't open your balcony door at night in the summer in Florida because of the mosquitoes and bugs.
- Why: Mosquitoes and bugs will get in and stay in your house until they die.
- When my roommates watch Dr. Pimple Popper during breakfast.
- Why: They like Dr. Pimple Popper and watch it a lot and even when I am trying to eat.
- When they put too much ice in my iced coffee.
- Why: Sometimes they scoop too much ice into my coffee and it dilutes it.
- Cooking chicken because I don't want it to be under cooked.
- Why: Under cooked chicken causes salmonella which makes you really sick.
- When fast food restaurants get your order wrong and you only figure it out when you get home.
- Why: They were probably busy and read the order wrong or got distracted with something else.
- When my brother hogs the TV and doesn't let me watch what I want to watch.
- Why: My brother is selfish and wakes up really early so that he can get to the TV first.
- When people are mean to waiters and waitresses or anyone who works in the service industry over a problem that is out of their control.
- Why: They are probably having a bad day and are projecting their feelings of frustration on the employee.
Reflection: I found this activity kind of challenging, but not too hard because I am annoyed and bugged by a lot of things daily. I thought it was a good exercise to get my brain thinking in a different manner than it usually does and to set my mind up to think in the way of an entrepreneur.
