Although I would consider myself an easily bugged person I found it difficult to think of "bugs" that didn't have to do with other peoples actions. I think that thinking of 20 bugs is relatively simple. It just takes some time to think.

Hi Skylar! Your list of bugs was super relatable. I found your bug about the 10 piece mcnugget that came with only 7 nuggets to be hilarious. I definitely wouldn't like that either. Your list was great. For the why part maybe try to focus more on why the bug exists and not why it bothers you. For example, for number 20 on your list the why would maybe be that the paper is too thin and not durable enough.
ReplyDeleteHi Skylar. I can completely relate to your bug list. I also have several pet peeves when it comes to driving, and cars following too closely and/or cars not letting me pass are definitely two of them. I, too, get ‘bugged’ easily, but I found it surprisingly challenging to think of 20 bugs. I agree that it just takes a bit of time to come up with 20 of them because I know that there are way more than 20 things that bug me!
