--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found it somewhat challenging to create this list of bugs. I am not used to listing the things that bother me in my life but it was very interesting to compile such a list. It was also very interesting coming up with the reason why these bugs exist and gave me a new perspective of how to prevent these annoyances to my day in the future.
