    It's been on my mind for a while now. Every time I see it happening I have to wonder to myself why people do it. I wonder what fascination people have with keeping it on. Then I have to ask myself, is it just me? am I the only person who throws it away? Am I a freak of nature?

    Yes people first world problems....

    The little plastic ring on plastic milk cartons, do you keep it on or throw it away?

    I always wonder why people keep it on as every time you go to pour the milk you have to hold onto it so it doesn't fall into your cup or cereal bowl..

    Spending 2 billion USD on trying to win an election.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Chips and a dip scenario......


    You have a dip but are almost out of chips......you have more chips but if you open them then soon you'll be left with no dip and just chips.


    First World Problem right there

    This problem gets replicated every time I get a kp chocolate dip stick.
    Should definitely be more chocolate in it.often you will take to much out on an early biscuit stick and then at the end you will be eating them dry.

    Where are all the do-gooders to help us out then?
    I think Bono should petition the world leaders for chocolate forgiveness.

    My wife gives out as I leave dirty dishes on the worktop rather than putting them in the dishwasher..
    First world problem I tell her, imagine if we had no dishwasher and you had to wash all the dishes by hand...

    She usually hits me quite hard at that stage... but I like that too ;)

    The crema on my espresso this morning was rather pale and inconsistent. Looks like I'm going to have to descale my damn Nespresso.

    Bummer.

    I have a dishwasher in the apartment and still wash all my dishes and containers and stuff by hand.
