7. When people wait until the last minute to cancel plans
-A lot of times, people will say yes to plans even though the real answer is no. This is bothersome because then they will almost always cancel at the last minute.

15. Individuals who find it necessary to blast excessive political/cultural views all over social media
-I believe everyone has a right to a political view, however it becomes very annoying when they feel necessary to write paragraphs and look down on others over political views on public social media. I believe they do this because they are not confident in their views and believe they must put others down in order to make themselves look better.
16. When you call a 1-800 number for assistance and you get connected to someone in a foreign country that speaks no English and has little to no idea what you are talking about.

Reflection:
I found that the first few things on the list came to me really quickly. It was very easy to come up with 5-10 things that bug me in a few minutes. However when getting to the last 10 it was much more difficult to think of things. I also found that most of the things that "bug" me have to do with the actions and views of other people around me.
