- When people interrupt me to ask a question not knowing that I was about to answer it and they wouldn’t have had to ask if they just listened. This happens because people don’t have enough patience to hear what you have to say.
- When your upstairs neighbors are really loud and you can hear them through the floor. They don’t realize how loud they are being and forget you’re underneath them.
- When employee’s at retail stores follow me around the entire time you shop. Although, they are just trying to help you if I need anything.
- Constantly falling and always having bruises on my body. I’m a clumsy person and simply can’t go a day without running into something.
- People who obsess over magazine articles. The people who write them most likely made up half of the story. Therefore, it probably isn’t even true.
- When people text you back every five seconds but right when you try to call them they don’t answer. They’re being lazy and not wanting to talk even though it is much easier to speak on a phone rather than type out every word you want to say.
- People who are appalled by the actions of young celebrities. These people are being blind to the fact that many adolescent kids do the same things everyday, you just don’t hear about it because they aren’t famous.
- When people get mad at siri for not understanding what they are saying. It is a piece of technology, how much can you really expect it to understand.
- Slow Wi-Fi. This didn’t use to be an issue but we’re so used to things happening instantly that the slightest delay is annoying.
- Speaking to automated answering machines. Half the time it doesn’t understand what I’m saying anyway, and it’s much easier to speak to a person.
- People who chew with their mouth open. It’s disgusting, and not hard to close your mouth when you eat.
- Girls who wear heels they can’t walk in. There are so many options as to what you can put on your feet. If you can’t move in them you probably shouldn’t wear them.
- People who are in front of you in line to order food but then don’t know what they want once they get to the counter. It makes more sense to get in line once you know what you want.
- When people use a movie quote in every other sentence they say. I’d like to hear your own thoughts, not what someone wrote in a script.
- When you ask someone for advice and they respond by only talking about their own problems. They clearly aren’t listening and I could have gone to someone else.
- People who sing along to every song on the radio. I like singing too, but sometimes it’s nice to actually listen to the song.
- When people go through your phone without asking. I’m sure they wouldn’t want me going through their things, and if I wanted them to see everything I would have told them.
- Parent’s who act younger than they are. It’s uncomfortable when adults try to act the same age as their kids just to seem like the “cool parent.”
- When people leave dog’s in the car while they go to the store. It’s cruel and hopefully something you wouldn’t want to do to your child.
- People who mumble when they talk. I can’t understand what you’re saying. At all.
For as much as I complain on a daily basis, I was very surprised at how hard it was for me to come up with this list. It's definitely easier to complain about something when you're in the moment.
Stephanie, I totally can relate to so many items on your bug list. I get so annoyed with the neighbors upstairs constantly having bangers and stomping when its a sunday night. Slow wifi was also up there for me in your list- ESPECIALLY when you're trying to stream netflix. When I was reading your list, I caught myself nodding to what you were saying, but when I was trying to come up with my list, I couldn't think of anything that annoys me. Funny how on the spot its so hard- I wonder why that is. Here is the link to my blog if you have time to see what bothers me. I hope some of these bugs are fixed in your future :)

Stephanie, I really enjoyed your bug list. I agree with you when people believes everything that see or read. The lack of criteria it's something that really bothers me. Also, when you ask for advice and that person is so into herself/himself that does not even care about what you are saying it is something that I do not understand. If someone is asking you for advice, that person needs you and it really hurts when they do not listen to you. Your list has so many things that I am can definitely relate to. I am glad you mentioned all this because I found out that there is more than 20 things that bothers me. You did a great job :)
