Assignment 2A – Bug List
Assignment 2A – Bug List
1.
When friends do not secure plans and they fall
through when the time comes
WHY it exists: occurs because people get too busy and can’t decide
what is the best time to do something. Also, people also are indecisive and
wait to see what is the best thing to do at a certain time.
2.
When colleagues move my materials in research to
unknown locations
WHY it exists: occurs because colleagues need to use the space, but
I end up not being able to find what I need after this happens.
3.
Lack of ice in Starbucks drinks
WHY it exists: occurs because employees are trying to move too
quickly and do not sufficiently scoop up ice.
4.
Makeup causing acne
WHY it exists: occurs because I wear make up for an extended period
of time and my skin is unable to breathe. This is more likely to happen when I am
walking around all day and my pores are sweating.
5.
Yellow armpit stains
WHY it exists: occurs because my deodorant reacts with the
chemicals in my sweat causing a color change in the clothing. Detergent is not
able to take out these stains without stripping the fabric of color.
6.
Ohio bars questioning my ID from Florida even
though I’m 21
WHY it exists: occurs because bouncers are not knowledgeable about
the IDs from different states, and they become suspicious of outsiders. Bouncers have a difficult time differentiating
Florida IDs from fakes especially because of their material.
7.
Cars blocking the intersection at Museum Rd and
13th during rush hour times
WHY it exists: occurs because 13th street becomes very
backed up during rush hour. Cars are not moving fast enough, but the people in
the turn lane are in a hurry because the light takes forever.
8.
YouTube ads interrupting videos
WHY it exists: occurs because YouTube is increasing revenue by selling
advertisements, but instead of placing them at the beginning of a video,
YouTube often places them in the middle thus interrupting it.
9.
All of the politics behind all UF organizations
WHY it exists: occurs because students and people in general like
to hold power. When students are given the opportunity to control a section of
student government, they hold onto the position or put their friends into the
position even though they might not be the best choice.
10. Trash
left in the sorority house living room
WHY it exists: occurs because girls become lazy and don’t want to
get up to throw their trash away in the kitchen. Also, people are forgetful and
if they are in a hurry they do not realize that they are leaving a mess.
11. Brita
filters being left empty
WHY it exists: occurs because Brita filters take at least 5 minutes
to fully fill because the filter gets backed up. People are in a rush to get on
their way and put it off until “later”.
12. My
roommate completely filling up the freezer
WHY it exists: occurs because my roommate only eats pre-packaged
frozen foods and will purchase an entire 2 week supply of meals at a time. This
leaves no more room in the freezer for my items.
13. Drunk
people stealing my food
WHY it exists: occurs because when people are drunk, they do not
realize the effects of their actions. Drunk people are also very hungry and
tend to eat anything in their path.
14. Gainesville’s
weather being inconsistent and raining without expectation
WHY it exists: occurs because of the city’s location. Weather
patterns are tricky here because the high and low pressure systems cause rain
to form in the afternoon during hot days.
15. Lines
at mid starting at 7:30pm when quite honestly people shouldn’t go out until 10pm
WHY it exists: occurs because there are only a few popular bars in Gainesville
for a student population of 50,000. This causes people to go out early so that
they don’t get stuck in the crowd.
16. Game
Day traffic
WHY it exists: occurs because attendees of the game are arriving in
Gainesville and attempting to find parking near the stadium. Roads are also
closed for tailgating which causes blockages and leaves only two available
routes to the stadium.
17. When
people won’t accept Venmo requests
WHY it exists: occurs because people do not budget money well and
push off paying others back to when it is convenient for their own bank
account.
18. Lacroix
cardboard boxes ripping when carrying them
WHY it exists: occurs because Lacroix cans are heavy and the
cardboard box cannot support the full weight of the cans at certain carrying
angles.
19. Perfume
not lasting the whole day
WHY it exists: occurs because perfume is a volatile liquid that
evaporates easily. Oils in the perfume also rub off from the skin onto anything
you touch.
20. Matte
lipstick cracking on my lips
WHY it exists: occurs because lips become dry and the lipstick is
not moisturizing. The lipstick then begins to crack from the lack of moisture.
Reflection: This assignment was not too difficult because I am
always thinking about ways to make life more efficient. Small problems in my
daily life stick out to me. As an engineer, I am always looking for ways to
make any process faster moving with less effort needed. I especially enjoyed
the “why it exists” part of this assignment because it allowed me to come up
with a cause to the effect. Thinking about the cause leads to a solution, which
is the purpose of entrepreneurship.
Hell Jenna, I found that we some of the same bugs. I can relate to the game day traffic being absolutely terrible. I try to leave the games by the end of the third quarter to avoid the traffic but, when its a close game its tuff to leave. I like the way you described entrepreneurship as taking a cause and providing a solution.
