BUG LIST

There are a couple of things that bug me. In the following post, I am writing about all the things that bugs me and why it is a problem.

1. There is always traffic in Miami, whether it be during rush hour or not. 
• Miami-Dade Country has 2.7 million people. There are people that work in Miami who are not locals and have to drive in and out. 
2. Working for a small marketing agency, clients always think they know better than the professional.
• The clients know their brand better than the person that was hired, so they try to put their input, hoping that it will help them bring more customer. 
3. Living with nine people and the wifi keeps crashing.
• This happens because there's only one router for nine people and its the cheapest wifi plan in Madrid, Spain. 
4. The heater inside my room in Madrid.
• In Madrid, people that have gas heaters are under one system, so the whole building turns off the heaters at night. This happens to avoid fires.
5. Customer Service phone lines can be slow and can be put on hold from anywhere between 10 minutes to hours. 
• This happens because a lot of people call at the same time or because the person that is in front go you has a larger problem that needs to be fixed right away.
6. People who chew with their mouth open.
• Some people cannot breath properly through their nose, so they have to chew with their mouth open so that they can get air.  
7. ATM Foreign Transaction Fees charge 3% of the money that is taken out and $5 for using the ATM.
• This costs money for the foreign country and they have to pay the bank, employees, and the ATM companies. 
8. In the United States it is okay to go to war at 18 but have to be 21 to drink alcohol.
• There was a study done in the US that drinking and driving rates lowers at the age of 21.
9. Waiting in line to go to the girls bathroom.
• The bathroom system is not efficient for girls. Unlike guys, we need to use toilet paper every time we go to the bathroom. 
10. The same brand of food is more expensive or cheaper in a grocery store.
• Different brands have different partnerships so some stores make more of a profit than other stores.
11. It is hard for millennials to find jobs after graduation. 
• In order to get a job after graduating from a Bachelor’s degree, the student needs to have an internship (or experience), be involved, and maintain a high GPA.
12. When people open mouth sneeze in public.
• This has to do with the way they were raised and they do not have manners. People who do this do not understand that this is unsanitary for others around them. 
13. The way movies portray Miami to be luxurious and sunny.
• Not everyone in Miami is rich and owns a boat. It is also raining most of the time. The reasons movies do this, is to appeal to others and want them to visit the city.
14. Having busy work for classes and not learning anything.
• This happens because some professors rather read students work and give feedback instead of recording a lecture and teaching. 
15. Returning packages after ordering online.
• Sometimes some companies do not have free returns and they make money off of it. Also, from experience, returning during the holidays will cause a backup and it will take a while to exchange or to get the money in return in the bank account. 
16. Airport losses you luggage and you have no luggage for a day or two. 
• This happens because luggages are misplaced or tags have been confused because of handwriting, or was not properly placed. 
17. When people do not pick up after themselves or litter on the streets.
• There is a lack of trashcans in most streets so people litter or don’t pick up after themselves because it is faster than walking and finding a trash.
18. Public Display of Affection when it is not needed.
• People do this because they are happy and in love and want to show affection and show off their significant others. 
19. When you’re about to pay for a concert ticket and there is a huge hidden fee.
• This is a marketing strategy. Once the customer picks their seat and get excited before paying, the fee comes in and then there is no other option but to pay because customers rather pay than not go. 
20. The price of sushi in Madrid. 
• Sushi is expensive (compared to Miami) because Madrid is in the center of Spain so they have to import everything and cannot get anything themselves. 

It was difficult to think of 20 things that bug me. I have my top choices of things that bug me and it was hard to figure this out. I honestly had to ask people who are close to me to help me figure out what are things that they have noticed that have bothered me. A lot of things cannot be fixed, like transaction fees, PDA, people with bad manners, etc. On the other hand, there are things that can be fixed like littering, wifi, and bathrooms, just to name a few things. Overall, this was a good reflection to think about all the things that bug me, but there are a lot of things that should not and somehow it still does.
