These things are basic inconveniences that annoy me while making my overall day just go by slower. Nothing here is overly awful, but some items can be quite tedious. These are all things that I have experienced recently. This assignment was difficult, I am not used to looking for the negative things in my life.
Ethan, I find it interesting when I think about the logistics of the problems that you found. I have looked at a lot of other lists that mostly involve the mechanical problems of everyday (I.e. simple things that could be fixed with extension cords and a little more organizational skills). Although, your list seems to involve a lot more of the choices involving other people. Your problems lie in the hands of other people, including the automotive, internet, and reliability left on other people. I find it interesting how you analyzed this assignment differently.

Ethan,
ReplyDeleteYour post was something that I couldn’t really find myself relating to, because of our difference in interests. But I was able to learn things. Like I never took the time to actually realize that there were only bike lanes on major roads. But in addition to that it did make me take a step back and think about the things that I find myself doing. I am one of those people who leave their shopping cart in the middle of the parking lot. This is not because I am unaware of the correct way to do it, but because it’s so much easier to just get in my car and leave. This assignment was for us to recognize the things that we experience that bug us, but after reading your post, it also got me thinking about the things that I do that affect people that I don’t think about.
Thank you for sharing,
Elly
