Bugs
list
1. Listening to kids tv shows while my
4 year old son watches tv
Why
it exists: The TV is in the living room and I allow my son to watch it for some
time during each da.
2. Sitting in traffic around 2:30 pm
on SR17 trying to get to I-295
Why
it exists: A lot of people trying to leave the military base at one time and
not enough lanes for everyone to leave quickly.
3. Not being able to do homework using
cellular data, instead, having to connect to wifi
Why
it exists: My data plan is not unlimited so I only have so many GBs each month
to use. Usually, doing homework using the data takes up a significant amount. I
do not have wifi so I have to go to a place with wifi.
4. Having a short cell phone charger
Why
it exists: Shorter cell phone charger is more convenient because it’s easier to
store
5. The bright sun shining in the
windows
Why
it exists: I do not have blinds on all of my windows because it’s not as
visually appealing to have blinds on them all. Also, I’m living in a camper
right now and the direction that it is facing means that the sun rises on the
side with the most windows.
6. Rearranging the refrigerator every
time I get something out of it or putting something in it
Why
it exists: Small refrigerator with too much stuff in it
7. Moving everything around multiple
times while cooking
Why
it exists: Camper does not have much counter space besides the kitchen table,
so it is difficult to prep and cook
8. Almost every time I unlock my door
with the key, I put the wrong key in first. So, it takes more time to open the
door.
Why
it exists: Two keys are identical but only one unlocks the front door.
9. Not always being able to fall
asleep quickly
Why
it exists: Overthinking about relationships, money, arguments, the future
10. Paying for car insurance when I
haven’t made a claim in years
Why
it exists: Required to have insurance and the unknown about future accidents
and needs for insurance
11. I have 2 chickens and a rooster and
when I get the eggs, the rooster tries to peck me.
Why
it exists: The rooster is protective and wants to be dominant. There is no way
to block him from getting into the house where they lay the eggs.
12. Getting the eggs is sometimes difficult
Why
it exists: The door is small and the chickens lay the eggs toward the back
13. Cell phone chargers breaking easily
Why it exists: The material that
they are made of is not durable and people bend the cord.
14. Trying to balance while flushing the toilet
with my foot in public restrooms
Why
it exists: The handle is dirty from people touching it with dirty hands and
germs flying out of the toilet when it is flushed, so I don’t want to touch it
with my hand
15. Having ants and rain water in my
outside trash can
Why
it exists: It is an indoor trash can, but the camper is too small to keep it
inside. It will make the entire camper smell like trash. Also, it has a
swinging lid so it does not keep rain and ants out of it.
16. Mosquitos and yellow flies biting
me
Why
it exists: It’s the summer time, it’s been raining a lot, I was near a stream.
I may have had a scent that attracted them to me, since they were not bothering
my husband.
17. Wiping off the shopping cart before
using it
Why
it exists: Germs from other shoppers using the cart. Kids sneeze or cough into
their hand and then, touch the cart.
18. Back hurting while sitting at the
computer
Why
it exists: Chair is uncomfortable and leads to bad posture
19. Waiting in line at Walmart for 15
minutes to pick up an order
Why
it exists: Picking up orders is supposed to be quick and convenient, but it
seems like there is only one person working the pick-up area and there is not
any organization
20. Being worried while walking alone
Why
it exists: There are a lot of people that kidnap and harm others
Reflection
I found making this list somewhat
challenging. Once I really started thinking about situations that bugged me, it
was easy to come up with bugs. I reflected a few different times and days on
bugs and I think this helped tremendously. However, the challenging part was
determining why the bugs existed. Fortunately, after completing about 10 bugs
and identifying why they existed, it became easier.
Hi Brandi, Yes, I had the same situation occur to me. As soon as I began naming a few bugs, it became substantially easier to name more and more of them. Stopping and taking time between brainstorming bugs also helps as well. I think this may be due to the fact that we as entrepreneurs start getting in our head and start thinking our ideas aren’t good enough; when this isn’t the case at all. Excellent observations overall.
