1. While it is raining, large packages are not delivered to your door and you must go to the post office to pick them up.
This bug exists because the post service doesn't want to be responsible for rain damage related to your package.
2. The post office only has one line relating to all activities and this stretches around the room, especially following rain storms.

Reflection:
I found the bug list to be interesting to write. I find myself easily annoyed at many things throughout the day and this was an interesting way to sort them all out in front of me.
Travis, I like the list. I can relate to a lot of the things you wrote. Based off of your s and some other Bug Lists I have read It seems like a lot of the UF students have the same day to day problems. Just think of the progress we could make with if we listened to one an others issues for a change instead of just ignoring them. Also, I feel you about the pub sub wait line. Publix needs to get it together.
