Bug List
1. Bug: On my way to work at 9:30AM, it takes me 35 minutes to arrive. However, on my way home at 3PM, the same drive only takes 20 minutes.
Why does this bug exist? This bug exists because 9:30AM is a standard time for people to go to work, however 3PM is an odd time for people to leave. Therefore, the roads are backed up at 9:30AM, and not so much at 3PM.
2. Bug: My car tells me when my tire pressure is low, however does not let me know which tire.

I experienced little difficulty in writing this list of bugs. In paying closer attention to some of my recent experiences in the past couple of days, coming up with most of the list was easy. This assignment has definitely changed the way I look at things. In paying closer attention to detail and minor inconveniences, it gets you thinking of what the root of each problem may be.
Hi Jacob. Your post highlighted many inconveniences that I have experienced, was well thought out, and the reflection tied it all together nicely. I do agree that cruise prices during the summer can be outrageous and annoying. Similar prices occur during spring break too. My car is a 2000 model and doesn't display important information like specific tire pressure either. Coming up with bugs really forced me to think beyond just my own experiences. Great post.
