Bug List (Week 2)

It was difficult for me to come up with this list. I consider myself a pretty easygoing person, and most of the things that bother me can essentially be summed up as people not showing any consideration for their surroundings. But, I gave it my best shot! Here's my "bug" list:

1. It bugs me when drivers come to a complete stop before turning off of a main road. This bug exists because people don't know where they're going and so they drive excessively slowly. This bugs me because it disrupts the natural flow of traffic and often forces the cars behind them to slam on their brakes abruptly.
2.  It bugs me when people hide behind their cellphones. This bug exists because society has gotten so used to technology filling the gaps in their lives. This bugs me because it's a waste of time and it makes people miss out on what's happening around them. 
3. It bugs me when people have bad manners. This bug exists because people aren't taught or exposed to good manners growing up, or because they're just lazy. This bugs me because it shows a lack of consideration for the people around you.
4. It bugs me when people use profanity excessively. This bug exists because people think it makes them sound cool or assertive. This bugs me because it's usually disrespectful and unnecessary.
5. It bugs me when people say "A.M. in the morning." This bug exists because people don't learn proper English. This bugs me because it is redundant; "A.M." by definition means "in the morning."
6. It bugs me when people try to force their political beliefs and opinions on you. This bugs exists because it's more important for people to be right than to have an actual conversation in which they consider someone else's point of view. This bugs me because it shows a lack of understanding and respect for the other person. 
7. It bugs me when people wear Bluetooth headsets outside of the office. This bug exists because people want to be able to multitask even more. This bugs me because it makes people look like they're talking to themselves.
8. It bugs me when the straws at fast food restaurants are defective. This bug exists because the straws are made of cheap material that cracks easily. This bugs me because when you get one of these straws in the drive through you have to either suck it up (pun not intended) or drive through the line again. 
9. It bugs me when customers are rude to the hostess when there is a long wait at a restaurant. This bug exists because people are impatient and have a sense of entitlement. This bugs me because it's not the hostess' fault that you didn't make a reservation, and there's nothing she can do to change the situation.
10. It bugs me when teachers assign busy work. This bug exists because teachers can get lazy. This bugs me because it wastes time that could be better spent getting actually beneficial life experience.
11. It bugs me when office chairs are not ergonomically supportive. This bug exists because companies try to cut costs. This bugs me because it's uncomfortable, and it is in the company's best interest to ensure the comfort of their employees.
12. It bugs me when cars have LED headlights. This bug exists because LED lights are more cost-effective. This bugs me because LED lights are distractingly bright.
13. It bugs me when lights in rooms are dim or flicker. This bug exists because it is cheaper to wait until the bulbs burn out to replace them. This bugs me because it is terrible for your eyesight to have to strain your eyes in order to see. 
14. It bugs me when items are over-packaged in plastic. This bug exists because plastic is the cheapest and easiest form of packaging. This bugs me because it makes items very difficult to open, and it's bad for the environment when the packaging ends up in a landfill.
15. It bugs me when my phone or computer autocorrects to the wrong words. This bug exists because technology is trying to make our lives easier. This bugs me because technology doesn't know everything, and it's frustrating to have to frequently go back and retype things.
16. It bugs me when people with normal-sized cars take up two parking spaces. This bug exists because people don't know how to park properly or don't care enough to adjust their parking job. This bugs me because it's a waste of space, especially when parking lots are crowded. 
17. It bugs me when parents use technology to babysit their kids. This bug exists because parents get lazy and it's an easy way to get a break. This bugs me because it's lazy and not good for kids.
18. It bugs me when companies play annoying music on the phone to entertain you while you're on hold. This bug exists because companies think it's a clever way to distract customers from the fact that they're being put on hold. This bugs me because the music they play is always really annoying and catchy, so it gets stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
19. It bugs me that people have become celebrities and therefore role models simply because they are attractive. This bug exists because due to social media and trashy reality television, just about anyone can get famous these days. This bugs me because many of these people aren't actually contributing anything to society, so they shouldn't have the ability to influence so many people. 
20. It bugs me when I have to use the self-checkout at the store. This bug exists because making people check themselves out is an easy way for stores to cut costs. This bugs me because the self-checkout machines almost never work.
