Bug List

In no particular order

1. With the Red Box phone app I cannot select two movies and have it locate a kiosk that contains both movies.  I have to select one of the movies, find a kiosk near me that has said movie, than browse that kiosk and hope it has the other movie I want to watch.  If not start over with first movie and repeat steps until you find a kiosk with both movies.  The website has these capabilities.  I do not know the reason the phone app does not.
2. Toll booth #1.  I would like all states to consider using one universal tool pass.  I know some states do this, however, I think they all should  I used to drive a state vehicle all over the southeast and had three different tool passes.  I assume this doesn't happen because of private ownership of tool roads and would require so much collaboration.  
3. Toll booth #2.  I would like to pay for tolls with my credit card.  I really don't know what more to say.  I don't know why this doesn't happen.  Maybe to avoid credit card fees
4. Waiting for bank transactions to clear.  Why does anything take three days to clear?  I'm sure it has something to do with banks checks and balances.  However, if I overdraft my bank account because I bought too many burritos you better believe Bank of America will have their money (drawn from my savings) and charged me a ridiculous fee by the end of that day.
5. Wages not increasing in direct relation to inflation.  I have been part of the work force for over twenty years and have increased my skill, education and personal finance acumen only to see my buying power decrease in those twenty years.  This has to do with too many things to list here (fiscal policy, economic policy, workforce policy, etc.).
6. That my favorite bus route is not in service during the summer.  There is a bus route that is so convenient for me and actually saves me close to an hour a day.  It shuts down during the summer semester because of lack of riders.
7. Textbooks being so expensive.  Not much more to say.  This has to do with publishers and supply & demand.
8. Beer going stale/losing carbonation.  Some times I buy a big bottle of beer or a growler of beer and don't want to drink it all in one sitting (this is rare though).  I know there are methods to slow this process down but none really stop it. This problem is do to physics so it might as well be magic to me.
9. "Where did my other sock go".  I feel like I loose one sock a month.  The thing is I pretty much only take my socks off at home, so it's not like I left it somewhere.  Where could they be?  I don't have an answer for this one.
10. Litter (especially at the beach).  I do not like trash on the ground.  This can be solved by people putting trash in a trash bin.
11. I want more stores to offer to send me my receipt digitally.  I do want my receipt for my records but I do not want it in my pocket/wallet for the rest of the day.  If you email it to me I can easily import it into my personal finance software and I'm done.  I guess the big hurdle to this is that stores would need your contact info ahead of time so you would not have to input an email address or phone number every time.
12. Watch an in-market games.  Does not happen so much in this area, but, other places I've lived MLB Extra Innings blacks out local games. Really annoying unless you have the local channel to pick it up.  This is due to TV contract rights.  I hear it's beginning to change in some areas though.
13. Be able to play Mediasite/YouTube on my phone without my screen being on.  I like to listen to Dr. Pryor's lectures while I'm working out.  Gets me pumped up!!!  However, I can't figure out how to do this without the screen staying on.  This makes my phone become a pocket furnace and kills my battery.  I know there are workarounds to this (third party apps/opening in a browser) but I just want to use my Canvas app.  This is a problem I have no idea the solution to.  Some apps have no problem with this while others do.
14. The way we are charged for access to the internet.  I accept that we are charged for the internet but don't tell me I have to be charged this much and not given access to the best service in the area, because I know that is garbage.  This has to do with telecommunication oligopolies that the government can't even seem to reason with.
15. Timed traffic lights.  I realize during peak hours these are necessary.  However it would be great if they could change to sensor lights in off peak hours.  It bothers me when I sit a light at 4 in the morning without any other cars around for three minutes to wait for it to change.
16. That dental care is not part of my regular health care package.  I don't know how to fix this specific problem without a different healthcare provider but it's just not that easy.
17. When I forget to shake the ketchup bottle and tomato flavored water squirts onto my fries.  The immediate fix to this is to never forget to shake the bottle, but, I wish there was another answer.
18. TSA security lines/airport security.  The time, the hassle, the amount of tax payer money going to this. There is almost no reason for this nonsense.  I also want to meet my girlfriend at her arrival gate when she comes home.  This has to do with politics.
19. Proprietary software that recalls email or texts that have been accidentally sent.  I know it exists to an extent, but it never works.  This has to do with computer stuff.
20. Grow back/replace enamel on our teeth.  Don't know what else to say about this one.  I don't have enough dentist science background to answer.

The Reflection

Some of this exercise was challenging some parts were easy.  I am the kind of person who is able to identify if a fix for a problem was effective, but, sometimes I have a hard time identifying the problem in the first place.  During parts of this exercise I felt like an old man just firing off while he's sitting on his porch (this is happening sooner than I want to admit though).  I really did enjoy writing this though.
