1. In Gainesville the lack of street parking is frustrating.

2. Mcdonald's on University is very unorganized and always messes up my orders.
Why: I dislike when a simple job is messed up consistently.
3. Cold-emailing for internships is frustrating
Why: I had an opportunity and lost it due to Covid-19, now I have been dealing with cold-calls, and emails.
4. New York right now during the Covid-19 pandemic is very exhausting being inside 24/7
Why: You can barely leave the house, it's like a ghost town, the complete opposite of what my home usually is.
5. Not being able to renew my license due to Covid-19 is irritating.
Why: I just want it to get done before returning to school and it keeps being pushed back.
6. When it's still cold in may
Why: Because it is late may and should be at least warmer and sunny. I hate cold weather. \
7. Not a lot of simple work to do during the stay at home lockdown.
Why: I want to make some money for the school year.
8. When someone puts an empty bottle of ketchup back in the fridge.
Why: Because it's usually my sister, and what is the point.

Why: I find this extremely rude.
10. When someone ends a letter with no sign-off
Why: I think this is unprofessional and lazy.
11. When someone spoils a show for me when I say "I'm watching (insert show)".
Why: I think this is rude and extremely unnecessary and childish.
12. When I miss a deadline or lose track of my schedule.
Why: I hate when something planned and so simple is missed due to lack of concentration.
13. Honorlock.
Why: The entire test-taking ways of HonorLock I feel are awful, it detects your movement and flags you when you do, I tend to move a lot when sitting still for a while I have ADHD.
14. The MLBPA wanting full pay for half a season.
Why: Many people are taking pay cuts right now due to the pandemic, and many more are unemployed, you get paid for your work half your work isn't worth a full salary, quit being greedy I want to watch baseball.
15. The back and forth of when stay at home order will be lifted.
Why: Stop giving me hope and ripping it away from me so quickly, I can't take this back and forth.
16. When someone says they "don't care what to get to eat", then say no to everything suggested.
Why: If "you don't care", you're willing to eat anything at the moment.
17. People not looking and just walking across the street expecting everything to stop for them on a dime.
Why: I'm used to people just walking where they please, but not being aware of your surroundings is something that bugs me.
18. Slow services.
Why: I've grown up only knowing things being done double-time speeds.
19. Letting cars go ahead of you when you have the right of way.
Why: This happens often in Gainesville, and I think it just disrupts traffic and makes everything not flow and is ridiculous and inconsiderate of traffic flow.
20. People scratching their teeth with their forks while eating.
Why: That noise is like nails on a chalkboard and makes me get the chills.
I did not find it difficult to write things that bug me, especially because I have a ton of things that currently bug me and it is all I think about and all I deal with at the moment. I'm sure everyone has this problem right now too.
Great post Nicholas! I liked reading your list of bugs because it reminded me a lot of the list that I composed. I found your bug about the MLB particularly interesting because I am a big baseball fan too. I find it outrageous that some players are saying they will sit out because their salaries are being cut when in reality most players will still be making way more money than the average American. It is sad that many players only care about money when they should just want to play the game they love to entertain the millions of people that are bored during quarantine.
