    When some new awesomesauce gadget/toy/service you brought starts to slowly break in such a way that its kind of half working and you find your self constantly ringing technical support and convincing them its actually broken and they should replace it. So instead it breaking and getting it replaced in a day or two your spend weeks talking to goons and spiraling into a pit of depression.

    when the only hot drink available is instant coffee.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    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!

    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!
