I found this exercise of writing 20 things that bug me really difficult. After the first 10, I had a hard time coming up with another 10. I'm not one to really get bothered by much, so I really had to dig deep to find 20 things that bug me.
I think its very interesting that we both feel difficult to come up with the bug list. I also had a hard time finding bugs. However, a lot of your bugs can lead to viable products or services that can be offered to a consumer. I especially liked how you took things such as daily activities into account when making this list. To be completely honest, I think your bug list might represent some good ideas for innovation and to build off. For example, the inconvenience in traffic may also be a common bug for many others in gainesville.

Hi Tristan! I also found it extremely difficult to come up with things that bug me and providing a "why" component as well. However, I do agree with you on various things that you listed! The parking and lines at the chipotle on University are absolutely destructive to my soul when I'm hungry! Also, I'm a big Miami Heat fan and it's absolutely frustrating that I can't watch the majority of the games here in Gainesville. Thanks for sharing!
