What's your first world problem?

James Bond Junior

I bought a new 48in lcd TV but it doesn't fit in the corner so I've had to relegate it to the second sitting room and put my 2 year old 43inch plasma in the main sitting room.
It's a situation bordering on the ridiculous admittedly but it got me thinking about "first world problems" and how lucky we actually have it.

So good people of after hours, what is your first world problem, the more ludicrous the better?!

Can't find the remote

After hoovering when I find a patch of fluff or dirt that I missed, too lazy to get the Hoover back out, it's problematic for me,

This winter hasn't been cold enough to put the brand new designer heavy weight rug I bought my horse on her yet. She'd melt in it the way the winters gone so far...

Does that count as a first world problem? Personally I think its a real issue!

Feck all memory and battery on my phone.

The backlight on my good laptop has gone for the second time in a month so I need to send it off for repairs again, which will take a week or so. My backup one works ok for now.

You have a Plasma? Now that is a genuine problem.

I can't decide whether to go to BAMMA in Dublin or watch the UFC on feb 27th, they're on at the same time and it's very inconvenient.

want to go travelling and buy a car..could potentially do both but don't want to coz I want money.

The water pressure on the kitchen tap is too weak so it takes longer than it should to fill the kettle.

On the bathroom tap the pressure is too strong so it ends up splashing everywhere.

The plughole in the bath must be slightly blocked as cold water tends to congregate round my feet when I'm having a shower and it takes a while to drain

Anyone know a good plumber?

I don't have a glass that helps accentuate the smell of my whiskey.

I can't decide whether to buy a MS Surface 3 or a Surface Pro 3.

With this wet weather of late, I wont take my 161 Honda Accord out on the road. Instead i have to drive my 141 Land Cruiser.

Alcoholism, depression, unemployment and at times an unreliable internet connection.

The arse groove in my sofa is now big enough to swallow family pets and children.

Only putting a tenners worth of diesel in the car to bide you over because it's absolutely fcuking lashing out and you're not standing there like a bollocks for another 2 minutes.

That's not a first world problem if it turns out your coeliac...that's a very real problem with associated costs and changes to be made.

my job doesn't pay you when you're sick so I've had to take annual leave.

Atlantic Dawn

The heated seats on my car have a high and low temperature setting, this weather after driving a while I'd like a setting in between the two.

I own so many books that I've yet to read and DVDs I have yet to watch, and they're making a very daunting pile in my room that's taking up too much space.

assuming this is the first world, I wish we had access to better services like they do in some developing countries - for example ordering an internet service and getting it within 24 hours, or having estate agents bring you round to a number of properties on the same day without the group experience. I wish this country wasn't horribly understaffed. I wish the people were more focused on making money instead of saving it. I wish the country and the people weren't under the control of foreign investment.

TerrorFirmer

My 1st world problem is pretty much the same, 50" TV that was too big for the room, so it's now in a different room.

Also, to get into the spirit of After Hours, my exes boobs were just way too big.

Armchair Andy

Every time I go to use my Oral B battery toothbrush there's a silenced giggling from behind the ensuite mirror. It smells like sh1t most of the time too.

When all of the above need to be charged bar the PC obviously.

Rezident

The controls on my excellent remote control earphones do not work on my Samsung phone until I take the phone out of my pocket - thereby defeating the entire f**king purpose of a remote control - and click 'OK' (No it is not f**king OK!) on the unforgivable on-screen Samsung-nanny-warning about how loud music can damage your ... baby seals or whatever. Die Samsung!

So now both Samsung and Apple are dead to me (don't get me started on Apple), so I am forced to move to HTC for my next phone! :mad: Is there no end to my misery?

I have to find new accommodation for the end of the month and can only afford about $1.5k for a room.

Bulbous Salutation

Santa left a Nutribullet Blender under the tree. I've been using it each morning like a man possessed. I'm left with a beetroot-faced complexion for most of the day, and about 15 seconds warning before I need to hit the jacks.

No worries CS you can have a room in my house for that and you can smoke away to your hearts content.

You didn't think to measure it?

That's more like poor foresight than anything.

First world problem writ large when they are all likely to follow the same policies.

When you buy a CD that isn't packaged in the standard sized CD case and it causes havoc trying to fit it in amongst the rest (which must be in alphabetical order).

Also, CDs that don't have the artist or album title clearly printed on the CD itself.

Life is too short to be impressed by deliberate obscurism.
