12. Walking into Southwest Rec to see that the gym is packed and I have to wait for people.

WHY IT EXISTS: The lid was not made properly.

20. When the battery on my phone turns off when I am on 10 percent.
WHY IT EXISTS: The battery was either damaged or has malfunctioned.

-The biggest challenge with this list was taking the time to think about certain things that bug me. There are many things that bug me and it was difficult to simply pick 20 of them because I was thinking way too hard. The list was not difficult to come up with but it was tedious because I had to narrow down certain things that bug me into a list of 20.

  1. Great bugs Teddy. Some of them gave me good laughs, because of how relatable they are to me. However, I believe it is important to dig a little deeper on some of your bugs. For example, number 8, I believe Aldi temporarily charges a quarter for their shopping carts in order to keep their parking lots free of stray carts (since you get the quarter back when you return the car, it's an incentive). This means less employee labor for cart collecting and clean up, which in turn, allow them to provide their products at a more economical price point.
