Hi Logan,
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure what you mean by “Having an exam on Monday” and that is part of a bug list. I’m sure if there was an explanation, then it should be on this bug list, but I feel like having an exam on a Monday is something that would not bother me. However, I do find the bug that waiters not bringing water relatable.
Hi Logan,
ReplyDeleteI thought it was funny that half of your bugs had to do with food or food services, especially the warm pickles one as that does sound gross. I was also wondering why it bothers you that menus put calorie counts indicators on their products? I find this very helpful, not just for people who are dieting but for people who have health concerns related to the foods they consume.
Hello Logan,
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting how one of your bugs is about adopting a Dog versus buying one but some people that like specific breeds can't find those at adopting centers because a lot of the dogs are mixed with other breeds. Another thing with adopting a dog is the age of the dog may vary, and it may need some medical shots.
