    Corla,

    Thank you for your post. I am also plagued by a lot of things that annoy me. Personally, I look at it as a benefit that I know the things that I like and I feel that I enjoy them more.

    In regards to your bug list, I think some of your bugs were clearly identified, but others could have been explained further. For example, number 18 "I sweat walking from the parking lot to inside". Which parking lot? Where is inside? What time of day do you sweat?

    For the why's, I think you scratched the surface on some, but likely the 5 why process would have dug deeper into the root cause. I thought number 11 was a good example that would have led to the root cause.

    Thanks again for the post and look forward to working with you this semester.

    Matt

    Corla,

    Thank you for your post! Many of the problems that you have listed as "bugs" annoy me as well. However, I think that some of the bugs that you specify are too general or ambiguous to be created into a business. Furthermore, I believe that you could have expanded the "why" on some of the bugs since many problems have multiple causes.

    Hi Corla! I had some of the same “bugs” as you. For example, I also identified the Starbucks on campus having too long of a line. Number 19 was creative and I never thought of all the annoyances that occur on a game day. Overall, I think you did a good job identifying bugs. However, you could have expanded on the “Why?” portion. This would help you find a solution for the problems.
