Bug List

·         The Carleton Auditorium desks are too small to take a Physics exam on.

o   This exists because more desks means that more students can sit in the lecture hall.

o   Pencil companies try to make more pencils for less money so the erasers tend to not be as good.

o   Apple designs their chargers to break within two years so that people have to keep purchasing new chargers.

I had much trouble in coming up with this list.  It is very hard to think of specific bugs in society when they aren't happening at that specific moment. There are many bugs in society but it was very difficult to come up with 20 on the spot.
