Reflections
In all honesty I thought it would be harder to come up with 20 things that bugged me. The part that was difficult to me was not so much the list of what bugged me but they why those problems existed in the first place. Sometimes the things that bug you are logical to some degree and their purpose outweigh the problems they cause. Taking the reason those things exist in the first place changed my perspective on a lot of the things. For example, when trucks are using the left lane of the highway in order to exit; There is no other way they can get to the desired rest area so I shouldn't be bugged by it.
