This assignment was fairly difficult for me because I've never thought about things that bug me, rather I've just let them bug me. For the most part, things don't get on my nerves but as you can see there are some random cases. I felt that finding 20 things was much more difficult than 10 would have been. I was forced to really think deep into my daily life.
