  1. Hello Isabella,

    I can totally relate to your bugs! I get irritated when my own pendant necklace gets tied up and I always have to untangle them. As someone who has worked in a restaurant for five years, I understand what its liked to not get tipped. The biggest tip I've ever gotten was ten dollars. Every time I go out to eat, I always tip my waiters/waitresses because I understand what they are going through. I admire your blog post because there are many things that bug me that I didn't even think of! I too also found this assignment to be more difficult because I never usually think about these things. Here's a link to my blog to learn more about my bugs: http://jeromerimpos.blogspot.com/2016/01/creepy-crawlies-bugs-list.html

  2. Isabella,

    Reading down your list of bug's and things that bother you I immediately noticed the inconsiderate roommate one. Although that is a personal bug and not completely a general one, I still completely relate because I, along with others, have experienced bad roommates. Half of your list involves the personality of people and their behavior, not really tangible things. However, I especially agree with the whole overpriced textbook thing and people who are not great at driving.
