Share your first world problems

[ckam]

Cousin got me Persona 4 Arena; I don't own any seventh generation console.

 

[The Lugz]

My bunch of silly problems:

- i have too-many games to play while studying my software development course at the ou, it makes me die a little inside

- i have so-many peripherals for my pc that some of them conflict on ports and i have to unplug them now and then
and my sound system is so sensitive it can deafen people if the computer alters the volume

- i have too-many pies, and choosing one i want takes more time than eating it

- my bed is so comfortable i cant get up in the morning, and i lay there wondering if it's worth bursting my bladder to keep laying there for another 5 minutes

- my heater makes me sweat because it has no thermostat and it's too cold to have it off

- my tap water pressure is low, it takes a while to fill a glass of water

I'm worried my new computer isnt going to arrive before dead space 3 is out

Ah yes, "First World Problems", the adult equivalent of being told "Eat your peas, kids in China/Africa are starving!!" as if that'll improve their situation anyway.

Because, as we know, if you're beaten to death or strapped down to some psychopath's table while he drains blood from your neck all so he can conduct experiments on near death biometic experiences, it's not as bad if it happened in SOMALIA.

wait..what!?...what world are you living in!?

 

[WalrusPowers]

My problem is that I can't enjoy first world life without feeling slight guilt! It fucking sucks!

I can't decide on whether I want to write, watch a show, or play video games, so I'm doing none of them and instead spending my time on the Escapist.

Whatcha writin'?

 

[teebeeohh]

i have to wait almost a month for MGR.
i won't be able to play dead space tomorrow because the game will have mouse acceleration or some other sign of a terrible port
i am lying on my bed and my tablet is just out of reach, but there is stuff i want to watch on there

I read a lot of crime/murder fiction and true crime docs. I think it's affecting my worldview, as I now see mastermind psychopaths everywhere I turn. It's not a pleasant existence.

ooooooooaaaahhh kaaaaay

the thing I wrote= first world problem

the thing you wrote= horrific nightmare, not a first world problem

mabye watching somthing nice...like a pixar movie

 

[The Nossa]

I always get stuck sitting next to the same bloke whenever I take public transport. He wont shut the fuck up.

 

[thiosk]

I decided to stop segregating the white from the colored laundry as a protest against linguistic ethnocentrism, but now my nice white shirts are all dingy.

 

[Not Matt]

i couldn't pick a favorite

Spoiler: my nevrotic nitpicks

the remote is gone
the idiot eating smelly ethnic food on a plane.
the soda cans don't have a locking mechanism
the word that is spelled correctly and both Google chrome and word tells me it's wrong.

too few pockets on my coat
the prick who sits in front of you on the bus and have the nerve to lower his seat.
the dalek's voice hurts my ears.
my phone battery goes to hell
i have too much stuff expensive stuff that my shelves are too full(the ultimate first world problem)
i don't get to use the F, N, S, C, and D word
my friend don't think it was as funny as i do
i have always have too much free time before whatever show/event i have tickets to.
all the games i own are boring
everyone around me are stupider than me at all time

the office is only on tv when i am out
my friend posting ever thought that stumbles around in their head on Facebook
i see the same commercial again and again.

My computer desk is just big enough that my keyboard and mouse both fit on it, but just small enough I can't fit a plate between my keyboard and myself without pushing the keyboard way far back, meaning I can't eat at my computer without having to uncomfortably stretch my arms to use a keyboard to post a post on a forum bitching about this.

: (

Another thing is that i barely ever read any novels because i have too many videogames, movies and TV/Internet Shows that occupy my free time.

 

[lechat]

My car doesn't come with one of those clicker things. I have to use my keys to lock/open my doors like some kind of animal.

topic is first world problems. pretty sure cars like that only exist in third world countries

 

[Zanderinfal]

Got $150 and I'm looking at a brand of Kevlar/fiberglass/aluminium/Carbon Fiber/whatever-the-fuck paintball and airsoft mask I have been wanting for ages for the purpose of cosplay...

Don't know what camo to get. That's about as bad as it gets for me.

 

[Drakmorg]

I have so many different anime series...es on my "To watch" list that I don't know where to start having recently finished one.

Also, I apparently don't know what the plural of 'series' is...

Truly, mine is an existence consisting of an unfathomable hell that I wouldn't wish on even my worst enemies.

 

[tippy2k2]

My honey barbecue wings aren't sweet enough?

WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?!?! LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING!

...now THAT's pain I feel.

As you can see by my Title, I have made a brand new recipe for my chicken wings that were tested for a Superbowl party...

They were quite possibly the worst things I have ever created. The old and bland recipe that had no taste was better than the assault that these wings did to my tongue. These wings were like biting into a chunk of salt. I could have burned a batch of the old recipe so that it was dark and crispy like the crap that you see at the bottom of your grill and it would have tasted better than the abomination that I kicked out. There are people in other countries who are currently starving that would take one bite of my wings and say "You know what, I'll take the sweet embrace of death rather than take another bite, thanks anyway!".

Everyone said they were good...but I started with 22 wings and went home with 11, which went right into the trash. I think I'll go dumpster diving at work for lunch on Monday rather than eat these things again.

Plural of 'series' is 'series'. Typed like: series'.

Edited to be a little easier to read because quotation marks are fun.

Whatcha writin'?

My primary focus is a soft sci-fi fantasy novel that I want to make into a series. It focuses on a war-torn world whose nations have been in isolation for hundreds of years, until the events of each novel reconnect the people, and the consequences therein of the isolation being lifted.

I also occasionally write terrible user reviews that I post on this website.

 

[FFP2]

I have around 100 PC games that I doubt I will ever get round to finishing/playing.

I was also too lazy to buy The Witcher 2 & Lollipop Chainsaw from the local store and chose to buy it from Amazon instead, even though it's gonna take over a month to arrive.

 

[Excludos]

I can't beat FTL on normal difficulity. I feel like finding a razor blade to cut my wrist. The world is just so painful.

 

[AnarchistFish]

I guess my problem is that it bugs me how people categorise between a "first world" and a "third world". In how it assumes people who live in wealthier countries aren't entitled to have their own grievances, how it assumes that people in poorer countries won't have similar grievances and how it implies that development is black and white like that.

One went to the country club and was served lukewarm champagne....

How could life possibly get any more tragic.

More on topic....

I've run out of custard and wanted jam roly poly later .... the day is ruined without custard. Being Sunday the shops around here are shut.

Eat that jam roly poly DRY like a MAN.

OT: my biggest one at the moment... I put myself back on my pill (Which I get for free, unlike most countries) and I can't stop eating. More of my money is going on food
I can't open my mouth wide enough to fit a satisfying amount of sweet salty popcorn into my mouth and most of it is getting spilled into my hair

Donations are accepted.

I deeply apologize, but the visualization of someone dumping popcorn into their hair while weeping about their misfortune made me laugh alarmingly hard.

OT: Mom and Dad made me waffles for lunch. I wanted FISH, DANGIT! ;__;

I'm glad you find it amusing because it's very distressing and I've had to get months of therapy (and surgery to make my mouth bigger) ;(

Laughing harder now, having difficulty breathing. I'm sorry, please don't hate me. ;__;
