  • There are not enough 38 routes for the large amount of students that take that route

  • They fail to clean them as frequently as they could
7. Slow drivers on the interstate around the Gainesville area that traffic is ridiculous

8. Teachers that do not respond to your emails at a timely manner

  • Teachers are usually busy after school hours and or just do not have time.
9. House parties are always getting shut down in Gainesville by the police, leaving options limited

  • Police do not think that college students are safe throwing parties 
10. The McDonald's ice cream machine is never working on 13th street that we always resort to Burger King :(

  • Too many people want McDonald's ice cream that the machine always breaks 
11. Having to wait in long lines at gas stations when you just want to pay in cash to get gas.

  • There is not a slot for cash when paying at the pump so you have to go inside to pay
12. There is not enough outlets on the third floor of the Marston library that you have to sit in awkward spots to study

  • The have not upgraded the third floor like they have the other floors yet  
13. It is always scorching hot in Norman during the end of spring and beginning of fall semesters

  • They forget to tun the AC on and or the huge amount of students in the class causes heat
14. When you go to Wendy's and they never have honey mustard sauce for your food.

  • Wendy's just fails to restock on honey mustard sauce or there is a quota
15. The RTS bus temperatures are never normal its either too hot or too cold making bus ride uncomfortable

  • Bus temperatures have to be controlled by computers or can't be adjusted.
16. There is not enough space for tabling in Turlington for everyone so tabling is crowded.

  • There
  •  is not enough tables and or many student just do not register to table.
17, When you go to a public restroom and realize there is no tissue in the stall,

  • People use all the tissue and the staff fails to check to see if it is stocked
18. When you rent a DVD from Redbox and the DVD does not work when you try to use it.

  • There is no way for a machine to check to see if the DVD works so you get stuck with a DVD you can not use. 
19. When they mess up your order at a restaurant and put things on your meal that you did not ask for.
  • They fail to double check the order and and make sure that it was done correctly.
20. Sharing a dorm bathroom on the weekends is very disgusting usually with trash and hair everywhere.
  • There is no cleaning staff on the weekends so the bathrooms tend to accumulate dirt quickly.
The thing about this assignment that made it a little difficult is that you do not think about the things that bug you until these things are actually happening. Having to recall what bugs you without the actually thing happening at the time was the only struggle. Also, once thinking about the things that bug you something that you realize is that most of these things are out of your control and can not really be changed. Writing this list also made me realize that there are some things that can be changed and could make life a lot easier for some students.

  1. Number 4 is so frustrating!! I think most services that apartment complexes provide are actually pretty bad, it seems like they don't really care enough about their residents honestly. The free parking issue on campus is also quite annoying, but I think this simply comes down to basic business reasons. UF must make a ton of money off of paid parking decals, it simply doesn't make sense for them to make some of these spots free.

    Also, here's the link to my own bug list.

    We had a few in common, and I really enjoyed your explanations they made a lot of sense!
