It's always really annoying when I'm trying to find a certain shirt (it's usually a black shirt in a pile of 30 other black shirts, natch), but the shirt seems to have disappeared... Until the next day. Argh...

being rich and not wanting anything....its hell....
I thought I was the only one. It really is shit. Every time I go to work, I think to myself "I'm here for the next 8 hours for something I don't want." Completely annihilates work ethic.

I would have to say having too much money is worse than none. At least there's something to look forward to on payday if you're living off of it.

]Why don't you just drink the milk from the bowl afterwards if you pour too much?
Personally, I just hate milk. Can never drink it by itself. Haven't had a glass of milk in years.

though there's no real alternative for milk when it comes to cereal. i tried once with coffee but it turned out horrible

U mad OP? lol my most annoying first world problem is probably how people can be rich and fortunate in their material possessions, with a loving wife and kids, BUT THEY STILL GET DEPRESSION, (from time to time anyway). I heard Vanuatu is the happiest country in the world, but they're poor. The thing about living in the first world though, is once you grow accustomed to all these material gifts and money, you don't want to give it up
You don't understand how depression works, the balance of chemicals in their brain is off so they would be depressed if the lived in a utopia or if the lived in dark well it isn't a question of being a spoiled brat it is a question of brain chemistry.

OT: release dates of video games getting pushed back

I can agree to this. We went on a "school trip" to Fiji to study "tourism." While we weren't exactly staying in the fanciest resorts, they were still a hundred times better than the locals homes. We went and visited some five star resorts and they were amazing. Yet the one thing I noticed was that the happiest people there were the Fijians. Any one of them was more than happy to help or just give a smile. At the same time, all the tourists were sullen and grumpy. Makes you wonder.

OT: My dad got me the wrong horse for my birthday. I'm not talking to him until he gets me the one I wanted. Not my complaint, but one I overheard.

My one would have to be our internet. It's only 10Mbps, if we're lucky. And I want more than 80GB a month thank you...I guess I don't have much to complain about.

How Netflix has some DVD-only stuff, so I can't watch it with my streaming-only plan.

When people say "there are starving children in Africa!" If you don't finish your entire meal. I'm sorry I wasn't quite as hungry as I thought I was going to. If you want to mail them my leftovers, go for it. I'm not stopping you.

Also, political correctness. More often than not you offend more people by trying not to offend everyone. Similar to how trying to make everyone happy tends to leave no one happy. Learn that lesson folks. Anyone who cares that you're using B.C. instead of B.C.E. needs to re-examine their priorities. Same with people who ***** about being wished a Merry Christmas. I'm hoping you have a good day, whether you're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or anything else. Take my compliment or leave it, but don't complain to me because I celebrate Christmas and I hope you have a good one whether you celebrate it or not.

As for cereal, here's how it's done; you pour your cereal in your bowl, then fill it with milk. Eat the cereal. When the bowl is finished with cereal, you grab the cereal box and pour more cereal in until it barely pokes over the milk. Eat new cereal. Repeat until milk and cereal is consumed.

People who feel the need to discuss their sexual conquests in such a cavalier and vulgar fashion. Sex is one of the most intimate things two human beings can do, yet you get people who talk so casually about it or, worse, use some of the ugliest phrases imaginable for it. I find it piggish and obnoxious. I tend to just clam up or even leave when conversations head in that direction.

It's even worse when they try to pressure you into sharing.

Animated .Gif bug me too.

Most annoying though is when people make mass assumptions about a group based a only a small portion of that group, not all gamers are frat boys or whiny kids, not all gays like parading around in rainbows, and the list goes on.

I have so many games, so many TV shows, so many books and so many movies. A wealth of entertainment in all forms.

Yet I'm so freakin' bored...

Well okay not the very moment, but I have plenty of days like that, especially during a holiday.

Also, waiting for release dates. I haaaaate it.

People not realising that "third world country" doesn't mean "poor country". It has no relativity nowadays because it was pretty much about the sides in the Cold War, and now that the USSR no longer exists, there is no "us" and "them" between the first and second world.
I always thought that Third World countries were ex-colonies in Africa and Asia that were doing awful, nothing to do with the Cold War.

I can't really think of any particular first world problem that bothers me that much.
You know there are things that money can't buy, for everything else there's...

People who "like" their own FB status. Other than that I'm ok with almost everything else.

not being able to correctly estimate the amount of milk needed for my cereal.

if i pour too much milk, ill be forced to eat extra cereal or throw away perfectly good milk.
if i don't pour enough, i'll be forced to walk back to the kitchen to get the milk and then risk pouring too much again.

and the cycle continues...
God damnit! I knew I wasn't the only one who hated when I poured disproportionate amounts of milk in my cereal! Probably 5 cartons worth has gone down the sink this year...
Why the FUCK would you throw it away? Just drink it up. Lawd.

You know what's my most annoying first world problem?

First world people being annoying. :|

srs faic.

Buses, when I'm on them they run late when I miss them it's because they are early.
Oh my god, this. So, so much this. Though it's also "if I need to get somewhere in time, they run late" and "when I take plenty of time to get where I need to, they arrive early, and I arriv way too early at my destination".

Fucking hate buses.

I get scared and umcomfortable when I go outside, so I pretty much perpetually just stay in with all my expensive and hi-tech possessions. That's pretty first-worldy, right?

People who diagnose themselves with serious mental illnesses because they feel a bit down or are socially awkward and need a reason to feel different and special from everyone else.

Seriously, it just makes me angry when you hear people casually throw around the terms autism and bipolar when really they're just socially stunted, awkward, spoiled teens. It dilutes the suffering of those who actually have to live with them on a day-to-day basis.

Mine was epitomised on Facebook last night. Someone I know posted "I've dropped my iPhone down the toilet! I hate my life! :(". Seriously? You've dropped your iPhone, worth more than what a lot of third world individuals will earn in a lifetime into a toilet that safely disposes of your waste using water cleaner than what said individuals use to drink and eat with? Oh yeah, that's truly a life to hate, isn't it?
