Bug List Entrepreneurship

Bug List:
1) Tangled Headphones when trying to take a phone call or listen to music.  This bug exists due to the way headphones are stowed and there high probability of getting tangled.  
2)  Keychain rings are hard to use and often can be a pain to open.  This is due to the nonexistent lip on the keychain which makes sliding keys or objects on very difficult.
3)  Jar lids are often difficult to open and can pose severe challenges for men, women, children and the elderly.  This is because they are too tight which might have to do with the size of the lid, the type of material etc...
4)  The roads in Gainesville (specifically Archer) are very crowded and need to be freed up from the constant traffic jams.  This happens because the streets are too small for the amount of cars being used on that specific road.
5)  Natural Whey Protein powder can be clumpy and a pain to drink.  This is due to the sudden mix with liquid that can cause clumps to form.
6)  Motorcycle chains can be hard to fully lubricate because half of the chain is stowed inside of the bikes gear assembly.  This exists because you have to run the chain through the internal portion of the bike just like its similar counterpart the bicycle.
7)  Printers often run out of ink early despite some ink still being left in the cartridge.  This is exists because cartridges tend to have ink stick on the sides and can lay uneven potentially signaling for a low cartridge warning.
8)  The dishwasher in my apartment complex tends to have trouble washing the dishes fully due to the poor design of the soap holding bay.  This problem exists because the soap is released early and tends to not make it all the way into the cycle towards the back of the machine.
9)  Candles burn down the center and a lot of unused wax is left towards the sides after the life of the candle is expended.  This is a waste of wax and candle life.  This problem exists because candles are often too wide.
10)  The freezer door of the fridge can often open itself after the fridge door is shut.  This is due to the force expended by the closing of the fridge door which inadvertently opens the freezer.
11)  Chairs can be awkward to use up against a flat walled bar area.  This is due to the fact that you cannot pull the chair in close enough because of the rails towards the sides.  
12)  Beer bottles (not twist offs) can be a pain to open because of the absence of a bottle opener.  This is due to the fact that there are no alternatives.
13)  The space underneath the fridge and stove is prone to having things fall underneath it.  The main bug is that there is just enough space for things to slide under.
14)  The Bose speakers in my apartment tend to shake the table.  The main issue with this is the lack of cushion in between the two objects.
15)  When using the heat in a car often cold air is blown before warm air because the car has to get to temperature.  The main bug is you do not want cold air to hit you when it is cold outside.
16)  Table legs can be uneven and cause the table to rock back and forth.  This bug exists because certain table legs are longer than others.
17)  The weights in the gym are often disorganized and thrown in random places.  This is due to the weight rack not having assigned spots for different weights.
18)  My iPhone sometimes falls out of my pocket when I work out.  This is due to it not being attached securely.
19)  My Lifeproof case requires me to unscrew a port to plug in an aux cable.  This is due to the fact that the case is waterproof.
20)  You have to turn a lamp twice to turn it off.  This is due to how the switch is set from factory.  

Review of Bug List:

This list was not too difficult to come up with.  I essentially think of these things all the time so it is not that challenging.  Being an innovator also means being a problem finder. A good way to start is to brainstorm solutions to daily issues.
