    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.

    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.

    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.

    Owning a PC, laptop and a Tablet and not being able to decide which one to use.

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

    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.

    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.

    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?!

    You didn't think to measure it?

    That's more like poor foresight than anything.

    Got a great new coffee pot for xmas but moved to London at New Year and never got to use/bring it :(

    The choice between Fianna Fail/Fine Gael/Labour in the next election.

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

    Indeed, different cheeks of the same arse.

    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.

    Spotify doesn't have any of the decent Taylor Swift songs.

    James Taylor hasn't done a decent cover of a Jonathon Swift song-

    Leaving the remote by the window on a cold day, the batteries seem to "freeze" inside, so I have to whack the remote to get it to work.

    My penis is too big.

    A lot of men in the third world have that problem too.

    Getting on a train to work which has so many morbidly obese people on board that there isn't a hope in hell of getting a seat. :mad:

    Spreading cold Nutella on my bread rips it but I'm too impatient to heat the chocolate up.

    Sometimes I don't know how I can go on and not shuffle off this mortal coil...

    The off license in going to close in half an hour and I'm too lazy to walk over there. Why can't off licenses deliver? I mean seriously, is that too much too ask????
