Bug List

1) During rush hour traffic backs up on SW 8th Ave. with people trying to either cross to museum or turn right onto 13th.
One of the main reasons this problem exists is due to the lack of a right turn lane in addition to the inclusion of the "no right on red" signs.

2) Some ethernet to USB adapters are only designed to work on specific devices. I.e. despite having the same functional ports, one might not work on a specific device.
I do not understand the full technology but I assume this is due to either brands wanting to sell more adapters or a true fundamental difference in technology.

3. Gainesville has a problem with not enough parking spots both at the UF campus, and within the city.
This exists due to the rapid growth of the city due to UF's rising presence as a top university while infrastructure and available land lag behind.

4. If I order a package and it is not delivered by USPS, the company does not have access to the PO boxes at my apartment building and is forced to leave it at my door with the risk of it being stolen.
This exists due to some apartment complexes not investing in appropriate mail delivery facilities for valuable products.

5. At many casinos nowadays, blackjack tables (especially lower limit ones) are switching from using regular shoes to CSM's (card shuffling machines) eroding the player's edge.
This exists due to casinos wanting to raise the house edge.

6. When I go to Outback with a large party and the waiter only brings you one loaf of bread to start.
This exists because restaurants want to take any chance to save money.

7. Nintendo Wii shut down their online services so if you want to play online games you have to install mods.
This exists due to Nintendo not wanting to support the online infrastructure for an older generation console.

8. If I want to use Bluetooth headphones on multiple devices, I have to go through a lengthy process of disconnecting Bluetooth on the first device and then connecting to the second device and vice versa to switch around.
This exists due to the headphones being programmed to automatically connect to whichever system they were previously connected to.

9. My phone battery is always draining quickly even when it feels like I haven't used it that much.
The battery health is likely depleted from overuse.

10. When I forget to turn my a/c back up after turning it down at night and my electric bill goes up.
This problem exists due to my forgetfulness as well as not being able to program the a/c for different times.

11. Going to the gym when it's packed and having to wait forever to use any equipment.
This exists because there are more UF students than the facilities can support.

12. Lack of consistency with original programming on many online streaming services today.
This exists because streaming services are stepping into the role of production companies and have to churn out many more shows and movies than the did in prior years.

13. When my devices disconnect from UF wifi on campus and I have to take the time to reconnect them.
I'm not sure if this is the fault of the school or my devices but I think even more so now with the addition of eduroam that this is becoming a bigger issue.

14. When I am at a restaurant and the person in front of me is taking forever to make up their mind on what to order.
This exists due to it possibly being a person's first time (less likely for large chains) or just not thinking about it before.

15. It bugs me that fewer and fewer businesses are dealing with cash and it is becoming more common for a business to not be able to make change for a larger bill.
This exists due to many consumers simply using a credit or debit card for everything.

16. Sometimes it is difficult to order food online due to the online interfaces not having all the options or availabilities for customizations and add ons.
This is due most likely to an attempt to streamline the web building process.

17. When you go to look for a particular piece of clothing but you realize you still haven't washed it yet.
Due to a busy lifestyle and the tendency to forget to do certain chores.

18. It bugs me when different websites all have different qualifications for your password so you end up having a ton of different passwords making it hard to remember.
This is due to the increasing prevalence of security concerns online and some sites being more secure than others.

19. How the libraries become so packed around exam time and it is impossible to find a table.
This is due to more UF students needing to study and not wanting to do it in their homes.

20. It bugs me that my printer is very difficult to connect to and seemingly work at random.
I'm honestly not sure the cause of this but it is possibly due to the USB cable used to connect to my computer.

I found this assignment very difficult. I am not used to thinking about the "problems" in my life in this manner. However, I found that once I came up with the first couple it got slightly easier and brainstorming some of them, lead me to find others. I also found that for some of my bugs I actually didn't know the precise cause of why they occurred. This showed me that I had never really dug deeply into the roots of these problems.
