The most 'first world problem' you've ever said

whatismyname

I'm normally someone of very simple means, but am currently on holiday at quite a fancy resort, and couple of nights back messaged to say I was 'a bit annoyed cos I can't watch movies on my phone in the jacuzzi bath, as even at the highest volume I couldn't hear it properly over the sound of the bubbles'.

Friend replied straight back to say it was the biggest example of a first world problem he'd ever heard. He knew I was just having a laugh anyway, but I still found it quite funny

So, what are some things you've said that people have or would call 'first world problems'?

Double posting

I was bumped to business class on a long haul flight and got mildly irritated that I had to recline my seat beyond my preferred reading angle in order to rest my feet comfortably on the ottoman.

How ghastly.

I couldn't find a bread knife to cut a tiger loaf, so I used a paring knife. It slipped and cut my fingers.

I bought my horse a thick winter rug and then the weather turned too nice for her to wear it.

I've too many rooms in my house. And I am too cheap to hire a forth cleaner

Aongus wouldn't insult his educated palate with anything less than Champagne Dom Perignon 2004 Rose Vintage I'll have you know :cool:

I don´t think I´ll afford the new Canon 5D Mark IV on release this autumn, I´ll have to wait another 9 months - year - disaster !

This morning I was just about to buy tickets for Underworld playing in Dublin in early June.

Then I realised it clashes with a run I really want to do.

First world and middle aged...

I moved to an area with no 24 hour shop within walking distance. Damn Dublin rents.

I ussualy ride my 2k bike into work every morning but there was a spot of rain this morning that looked like it could turn nasty so I jumped ship into my 1.5k car all pissy and drove in .

I can't decide which laptop to bring to college. One is a bit heavy for bringing on the bike and the other has no ethernet port. This is important because the lab I like to work in has poor wifi and I don't want to move to another lab.

My life is a struggle

Could not figure out how to make a playlist on my fiance's old phone when I borrowed it for work this morning.

Had to choose between pancakes and Belgian waffles for breakfast this morning.

It was like Sophies Choice.

Had my eye on a pair of louboutins for ages. Used to go in to touch them and look at them, and was saving for them for Christmas. When I went in to buy them, they were no longer in my size. So I had to settle for a different pair of louboutins that I didn't love anywhere near as much.

Probable loads but my broadband speed not being good enough to stream live sports without buffering.

As soon as I said it I realised just how patheticly minor it was.

My satellite receiver's remote control doesn't control the volume on my telly and there's only enough room on the top of my laptop's keyboard for one remote

Since I 'upgraded' to windows 10, my little scrollbar on the touchpad of my laptop doesn't work. I now have to manually move my finger over the touchpad...oh, one or even two centimetres. The inconvenience is appalling.

i had to keep changing from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2if I wanted to watch Saorview instead of freesat

It bothered me so much I needed a combi-box

Local shop doesn't stock Tiger beer any more so now I have to drive an extra 5 minutes to get it.

I am very pale, and I have very dark (naturally) brown hair and eyebrows.
Then my eyelashes are like a weird brown colour but the rest of my body hair seems to be white. It's very strange. No dark hair on my legs so when I'm getting waxed they always miss some.

I would be a perfect candidate for laser with my skin and hair colour if my hair was the fricken same colour everywhere else

The boot release lever in my car is faulty and only works sometimes (I know what's wrong with it and it'll take me 5 minutes to fix it) so I have to hold the 'open' button in the remote control for 3 seconds to open the boot, 3 feckin seconds!!! I'm a busy man, I don't have 3 seconds for such trivial matters!!!

I didn't have a whiskey glass that properly accentuated the smell of the fine whiskeys I drink.

I have one now though.

I went shopping for new clothes but now I've run out of hangars.

I got pissed in the private free bar before a first class six hour overnight flight and slept through the gourmet steak and fine wine meal. :mad:

I wondered aloud if there was a commercially available pippette for dripping truffle oil onto my omellette. Don't want to overdo it, like.

Sometimes the unified remote on my phone doesn't work when I'm pausing a movie on my PC to go and make tea, so I have to lean forward and use the mouse instead.

A while ago I was buying myself a Michael Kors watch and accidentally selected to use debit instead of credit card, I wasn't mentally prepared for the instant dip in my account.

There should be a better way to get olives out of the glass jar :rolleyes:
