“I didn’t pay my internet bill, so I had to watch porn on my iPhone last night.”

“My beach house isn’t close enough to the beach.”

“I just can’t support a charity that doesn’t have its own colored ribbon.”

“Because porn is so accessible and easy to find I miss the thrill of the hunt.”

“It turns out the cute girl in my math class who buys her clothes at the thrift store isn’t making a statement against consumerism - she’s really just poor.”

“Since sexual harassment became illegal I don’t feel pretty anymore.”

“I think $16 a month is an outrageous price to pay for immediate access to pretty much any movie ever made.”

My white wine is not cold enough tonight, plus I can only fit half a bottle in my glass, which means I'll have to walk to the kitchen later.
My coffee pods haven't arrived, I have to use instant till they arrive!

My small Sennheiser in ear headphones broke, so I now have to use my huge Sennheiser headphones till I get a smaller pair....just to listen to my ipod.

I've just started a game of Minesweeper, and after clicking on all four corner squares I still don't have a risk-free opening.

It's the worst situation anyone's ever been in.

That's nothing: my left earphone just broke, and I can now only hear half of my music!

I think I'm just going to give up on music entirely...

The phrase "first world problems" is enough to boil my piss. I hate it. It is so smug and pathetic. I want to add the problem of a broken jaw to the top of anyone's list if I hear them joke around about their "first world problems".

I'm often found myself watching a film I recorded on the sky plus, with my usual generous extra few minutes before and after the start and end time to make sure it's all recorded.

There's absolutely nothing worse than starting it and finding the tail-end of the previous programme, then fast-forwarding through the ads, which just keep going.

You get to the start of the film and the recording's fifteen minutes in, and you set it to start recording five minutes before the start time.

So you switch on your laptop and go to IMDB to check the film's running time. You compare this with the amount of time left on the recording, factoring in an estimate of how much time the ads will take up, bearing in mind how long and frequent this channel's ad breaks tend to be.

You optimistically hope that the whole film might have been recorded, but you can't relax and really enjoy the film, and you keep pressing play to see how long is left, and you keep readjusting your calculations to take into account the ad breaks which seem to go on and on.

There's two minutes left of the recording and the film seems close to the end but there's still a few things to be wrapped up.
In resignation, you open the film's wikipedia page and prepare to read what happens at the end. But it only has a brief plot summary, so you click to the IMDB page link at the bottom of the page. Same thing there.

And then it's gone. You didn't get to see the end of the film, and you weren't able to properly enjoy it anyway. There's really nothing worse.

And now my jaw is really sore too! Ow!

It's meant to sound pathetic. What part of the phrase' first world problems' aren't you getting? We have it easy compared to a lot of people, that's the point.

PS: Boiling piss is a useful whitener for fabrics.

I'm not finished my pint yet and the people I'm with have bought me another one...

Dun laoire · 18-01-2012 3:36pm

It annoys the hell out of me when the frother for the nespresso coffe maker doesn't froth the milk properly. Major problem!

Trankton · 18-01-2012 4:32pm

Or when you go to have a nespresso and all that's left is the decaffinated...WTF? Then you have to pay an extra 10euro on line in order to get the fast delivery of new, drinkable coffee pods!!!

Or when you're on the golf course and break you're 'unbreakable' tee!!

RainbowRose81 · 18-01-2012 7:08pm

First world problems well I wouldn't consider Ireland a first world country but it is a developed country, the problems here are suicide, mental and pyschological difficulties, family breakdown and dysfunction, lonliness, lack of culture and self identity, lack of moral spiritual guidance and addictions.

Morlar · 18-01-2012 7:12pm

Having to use a self service till.

Kintarō Hattori · 18-01-2012 7:36pm

The missus is working late tonight, so do I:

Doze for a few hours on the couch.

or

Play some videogames on the PC upstairs while having coffee and something sweet.

Lando Griffin · 18-01-2012 8:07pm

and when one has to press the TV button on the sky remote then text to access Aertel, then sometimes a message appears saying "No text transmission" Then you press the channel button but because its on TV it changes the channel on the tv and not the Sky box .so you have to then re set both tv and Sky box.

biko · 18-01-2012 8:11pm

Which remote is it for the DVD and which for the satellite???

Arrrrg, I hate my life!!!

^^ 1st world problem.

The King of Moo · 18-01-2012 8:14pm

There's a gap of about a second when changing from a standard definition channel to a high definition channel.
WHAT'S THE POINT IN GETTING HD THEN!!??

"Unexpected item in the bagging area."

Maximus Alexander · 19-01-2012 1:25am

Well I don't know about anyone else but my biggest problem is coming home to find the binman has left my bin at an 84 degree angle to the driveway, when I had clearly left it at precisely 90 degrees just that morning.

So inconsiderate!!

Cheap toilet roll cutting the fu&€ing arse of me after a feed of bad Guinness and a dodgy Chinese takeaway

De Hipster · 19-01-2012 2:24am

Browsing through amusing thread on first world problems when a post interspersed includes a guilt-trip about how it's not funny to jest about such things while moralising about the realities of 'real-world problems' .

Yeeeeeeesssh!

Sykk · 19-01-2012 12:51pm

Found these on reddit that made me crack up:

I tried to fart before I got into the car, but it followed me in... I was a passenger

There's too much food on my plate...

Since reddit was down today, I actually accomplished tasks and my boss now expects more of me

My balls touch the water in my toilet

I got a paper cut counting my money

I bought too much food and cannot fit it all in my pantry

My dishwasher doesn't completely clean dry pasta off my dishes

My ice cream is too hard to scoop

I can't use my iPhone's touchscreen while wearing gloves

I had to download an entire album just to get one song that I want

Even after 3 warnings, I still forgot to plug my laptop to a power source, so now I have to wait a few minutes for it to reboot like a ****ing barbarian.

Brilliant

First world problems?
