2A What Really Grinds Bristol's Gears




                                                    What Really Grinds Bristol’s Gears


1) That there is no puppy food specially designed for weaning puppies off Mom’s milk.

Why) There is a story behind this, but I am currently weaning a couple puppies from Mom’s milk and there is no specific weaning food. So, I am going through lots of trouble and stress since the pups are not eating as much as they should. Trying to find the right mixture and I still have not found the right mixture.

2) Having all these calculators.

Why) I do not want to worry about storing moving and knowing how to use all these different calculators.

3) Telemarketers

Why) They have now developed the tactic of using a number with your same area code to call you. Now you do not know if it is a telemarketer, your bank, or the dry cleaners. So, you get interrupted a lot.

4) Salesman

Why) They are pushy and annoying. I understand you are trying to help but I can make my own mind up.

5) PayPal

Why) It never seems to work for me.

6) Tight spots when doing repairs on your car.

Why) The tight spot makes it near impossible to get a tool in to remove retaining mechanism.

7) When Firefighters go on a call to a structure and must break in to gain entry.

Why) Damages building causing a sometimes-unnecessary finical burden on the owner.

8) When performing a rescue on an injured Firefighter in full gear the standard method does not work on larger Firefighters.

Why) This makes rescue much harder and take longer. They may be in a situation where seconds matter.

9) The alarms or “tones” that wake Firefighter up at night for a call are too loud.

Why) It takes a completely resting Firefighter from 0 to 100 really quick. That is not good for their health.

10) High cancer rates in Firefighters.

Why) This can cause early deaths as well as making Firefighters endure great hardships in their fight against cancer.

11) Organic food is so expensive.

Why) I want to eat healthy and organic but can not because it is too expensive.

12) When people walk a long time, you can develop blisters. Especially in the Military.

Why) This causes great pain and can affect the capabilities of our troops.

13) People dying from cardiac arrest.

Why) I lost my father and do not want anyone else to go through that.

14) Having to throw out so many unused medical supplies due to expiration dates.

Why) Waste of money and where does all the unused items go?

15) Too many kinds of dog food.

Why) I do not know much about dog food so hard to choose.

16) Dog shedding hair.

Why) I have to clean it up all the time.

17) Soldiers transitioning from Military to civilian life.

Why) Soldiers are programmed to be a certain way. Then they leave the service and sometimes have a hard time adjusting causing homelessness, suicide, and under/unemployment.

18) Touch-up paint for cars is not very good.

Why) You can obviously see the part of the vehicle that has been touched -up.

19) Paying medical bills.

Why) It is so complicated. Why am I getting a bill for $20.00 3 months later??

20) How you technically are not supposed to plug the sidewall of a tire.

Why) Forces me to buy a whole new tire.

                                                                    Reflection
    This list a bit hard to come up with. The biggest problem I ran into was I would think of bugs that already had different fixes. I just had to think that does not matter because you could always come up with something better.

  1. Hi Bristol,

    I liked your list and how you were able to focus on two small areas. I did not konw about a lot of the bugs on your list, but seeing seomthing from a different perspective makes me realize how many problems there are in a specific field. I dont have any advice to help you with your puppies, but I wish you the best of luck getting them to eat solid food! Great post!

  2. I could definitely relate to a few of the bugs on this list, especially the telemarketer bug. You came up with many bugs that I myself have found frustrating, but did not think to include on my own list so it is interesting to see how common some of these problems are. Just be careful to make sure the why is why the bug exists, and not why it bugs you, that way you are one step closer to getting a solution.
