- Waking up feeling as if I did not sleep at all.
- Why? I feel as if I wasted my time sleeping if I ultimately wake up feeling groggy and tired.
- When I have to rush to get somewhere.
- Why? This bugs me a lot. It is a result of my own disorganization I know, but having to speed cook or rush in the bathroom are things that frustrate me. I would like to be at peace throughout the day.
- Faulty kitchen products that delay me.
- Why? This one ties into my previous bug of "rushing". I get frustrated when a can opener doesn't work properly or the toaster takes too long because it takes time from my schedule.
- Bad Customer Service.
- This is a big one. I dislike it when I feel disrespected as a customer when I am complaining about a product's performance or treated poorly during a service. I am paying you to be nice...
- People with poor manners.
- I feel as if it is my social duty to treat others with respect. That is, respect their space and respect their peace. Poor manners such as chewing loudly with an open mouth, farting, loud gossip, and the like bother me and infringe upon my peace in a sense.
- Close minded people.
- I try to be open to others' ideas and beliefs and use it to enrich my own mind and understand the world better. So when people are close minded and try to shove beliefs and ideas down others' throats, I get annoyed.
- People that are very argumentative.
- As previously stated, I enjoy learning from others which requires conversation and interaction. However, some people tend to turn everything into a heated debate and that truly turns me off.
- Those awkward looks in public.
- It is true that worrying about what others' think is counterproductive and a waste of time. However, getting weird looks in public is not something that most people enjoy.
- When others lie.
- No one likes a liar and no one enjoys being deceived.
- Passive agression.
- I like to be direct and get bothered when people beat around the bush.
- When I go to a nice restaurant and something is not right.
- Either the utensils or table are dirty or something is missing. If Im paying for good service, I hope to receive it.
- Poor taste of food or noticeable disregard by the person making the food.
- This is aimed mainly at fast food restaurants that require little work on the part of the "chef". It bugs me when I am served a bacon cheeseburger with one tiny slice of bacon and melted cheese that runs down the side of the burger rather than on top of the patty.
- Long lines due to slow cashiers.
- I understand that some workers are faster than others and that it is tough work. However, It is clear when a cashier is deliberately putting little effort and slowing up the line. I have places to be and things to do!
- Professors that don't put in effort. I can read power points too.
- It feels like college is a waste of money when I attend a college course in which the professor simply reads off a boring powerpoint and assigns chapters to read.
- Slow drivers....like too slow.
- There is a speed limit. And there should be a speed minimum to accompany all limits. Slow drivers bug me because I don't like to waste time and they can sometimes endanger other drivers.
- Eating but not feeling satisfied.
- This is not a big deal but it bothers me because I have to get up and cook more or spend more money on food.
- TRAFFIC.
- Traffic can really get on my nerves especially when I am in a hurry. It bugs me more when it caused by a crash that could have been avoided. Traffic bothers me simply because it is a waste of time.
- Poor weather.
- Poor weather gets on my nerves whenever I have something planned for the outdoors. It also bugs me when I wake up excited to have a productive day to then notice that there is practically a hurricane outside.
- Having to wait on someone.
- This ties in with me not enjoying a waste of time. I get bothered when I get late due to someone else.
- Regret.
- I don't enjoy thinking about my past and wishing I had done something differently. I try to live with no regrets but i feel as if it is inevitable.
This excersise was very challenging and has made me realize that there are a lot of things that bug me on a regular basis. At first I thought nothing bugged me but quickly realized that there are plenty of things that get on my nerves. It is good to reflect on these things to realize what we take for granted in life and I feel like this excersise will help me with identifying things I need to fix about my life. Perhaps my it is my lifestyle that is allowing these bugs to pop up.
Hey Enrique, LOVED this. Literally go through numbers 1 - 5 everyday. I hate waking up feeling like i didnt sleep becuase it makes me even more unnecessarily stressed out than i should be. Traffic is the WORST too. Literally every day sitting a car for an hour to get to work and an hour back takes a huge toll on a person. I wish I could just work from home everyday! But of course, the regret bug has got to be one of the worst. ;)
