Bug
List

think clean water is a right.

first people that purchased the land with springs have monopolized the entire
industry.

useless because you always have to end up doing the second line anyways.

Reflection:
To be honest it was not that difficult
for me to come up with 20 products or services from daily life that irritate
me. I consider myself to be a very critical person even when things might seem
they are perfect I somehow find a problem. Even though it took me a little over
an hour I would consider this assignments most difficult aspect to be the
patience of thinking about things that really bother you. All in all, I found
this assignment very helpful because it makes you look at the other side of the
argument and write it down which makes you really think about the reason why
you might not appeal to that certain something.
