13. Waiting 30 minutes in line during lunch time (12-2 PM) at Publix deli for a PubSub.

REFLECTION- What I thought of this assignment is that pretty much anything in life can bother a person. I am a very observant person and do not have social media so I usually tend to ask my self why often. It makes you think if this can be the most effective, cheapest, funniest, or best thing over all. I thought this was a great seg-way into the class and I can’t wait to keep my mind going.

  1. Hi Ariel! I enjoyed reading your bug list and share quite a few of your bugs. You even gave reasons for bugs that I had never heard before. (I didn't know that about chip bags!) I'm sure being off of social media helps you be more present and analytical. As a journalism major, I'd be curious to know why the local newspaper bugs you. Great job on the first assignment!

  2. Hey Ariel, I really enjoyed reading some of your bugs. I especially enjoyed the Germs on a plane, and the broken sidewalks one. I think both of these things have always really bothered me and it’s nice to seem they aren’t things I’ve been alone in noticing. Flights are notoriously germ filled and I travel often for work and I am often filled with fear. Great post
