What's your most annoying first world problem?

[Merkavar]

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...

i hope you 2 arent serious. cant you drink milk?

my internet connection. does that count? cause it maxs ot at 500 kb/s

what about my damn keyboard that seems to not work when typing here. eg what i typed above should have said my slow internet connection does that count? cause it maxs out at 500 kb/s

when I'm trying to get a piece of cheese and its kind of dried a little, and its stuck between three to four sheets of wax paper, and I destroy the slice just trying to get it out of the package.

My biggest first world problem are the people who complaine about the "problems" that arent
really problems at all.
As someone who come to the "first world" country from an Ex-Soviet bloc country after
50 years af the communists messing it all up i have been exposed to problems that are far more real than the nitpicking people see as issues in the "first world".

So yeah, i am not impressed with the whinyng of the people from the developed countries
when right now there are millions of people who have no water nor enough food to live.
Pull your fingers out and see how easy and great your life really is and try to help
those who are less fortunate then you.

I despise my internet connection with enough hate to power an infernal engine for a thousand years. When it's not going slow as hell, it's cutting out for some bullshit reason or another.

Also,
DISTRACTION

That one is awsome.

Anyway, the most annoying thing in the first world is people.
That's right, people.
Those miserable little shits are never happy, and that shows especially HERE.
That's right.

Cheer up people.

Driving in the inner suburbs and city...Driving makes you an angry...angry person.

oh, and cereal that gets soggy way too fast. like i'll pour a bowl, and the phone will ring, and 3 minutes later I come back to my breakfast and it's turned into a bowl of soggy garbage.


so basically, cereal related problems.

The solution is simple.
Take a small bowl, the box of cereal and the milk carton with you wherever you eat (if you eat outside the kitchen).
Pour small portions of each and keep adding whatever you think is not enough of at the time while eating.
If you become distracted, only a tiny portion of milk/cereal "goes to waste".
When done, return everything to the kitchen.
PROBLEM SOLVED !

Scientific illiteracy, or more broadly, how a large proportion of individuals don't make their decisions based on evidence.

Why doesn't a whole decade of education, sometimes more, solve this?

 

[Scarim Coral]

Pretty much with me unable to get a job and the whole recession problem. Couldn't they just make more money for everyone? (Well I can assume it's not that simple.)

 

[Serving UpSmiles]

Mine is people with .gif's as avatars. I'm trying to read someone's post, but the dancing cat or rapidly changing images of Fluttershy keep distracting me! Damn all of you .gif users to hell! I bet your special punishment is being forced to watch annoying .gif's for all eternity so you can see how annoying they are! So, what first world problem irks you the most?

hehe you're not gonna like my avatar then :L

 

[Mcupobob]

Hmm, I guess that fact that all my gizmos that I own are all form around '04. I'm stuck in the goddamn past here! Also I guess my job but I really don't have a right to complain since I only have two days left to do and I get to start a new life in Austin TX. But the hell with it what is the Internet but a place to wank and *****? That fact I had to stuff Tacos for German tourist(Nothing against Germans it was language barrier issue more so) for a whole summer instead cursing on a yacht all summer instead of watching 80's movies with kids my age doing that bullshit.

The reason I don't drink the milk afterward is because my body doesn't process dairy well. I can eat cereal because it's just a little milk in my spoon, but I can't drink a glass of milk without my stomach going insane.

Another problem I have is these tourists on bikes. They travel in huge groups of 10 or more, travel on either the sidewalk or street instead of the bike lane, and the worse part is none of them speak English.

 

[NightRavenGSA]

Trying to survive the soul crushing loneliness, knowing that nothing will change the next day, that you'll just wither away, and be forgotten, knowing you only have yourself to blame.

Mine is probably Politics

I'm going to go with traffic.

The street I take to and from my work happens to be the only convenient path between the city and four or five of the suburban towns commuters live in, making it the busiest street in the state. You have to go ten or fifteen miles out of your way to get around it. It was established when cars were brand new, making it too narrow for its traffic load. The number of lanes changes arbitrarily, forcing merges in awkward places. Thanks to the lack of urban planning, it is full of strange, five or six-pointed intersections, at which lights last approximately as long as a geological epoch. Throw in all the impatient, dipshit, it's-all-about-ME maneuvers people love to pull, and it's a wonder I ever get home.

 

[ZeronicX]

Religious A-holes, every time i see one they push their Religion down your throat and every time i say I'm a Atheist they act like their entire world is crashing and they got a gift from god to convert me into their religion, -_-

and when i see a Bi-sexual or gay person get attacked by them i just get so mad, near the bridge of Punching them in the face

 

[souper soup guy]

Not enough people who can be open minded to new shows or mediums. You know the ones, the people who think all anime is hentai or think my little pony is gay, so they just decide to watch the same boring predictable tripe they always have.

 

[yuval152]

Religious people getting mad when I say that I don't care about religion.

GOD FUCKING 16% commission.

Parents want to be involved in my life.

People ***** about that third world countries don't have what eat,drink and get a very low salary,Why should I give a fuck about them?

 

[FC Groningen]

The majority of the people being raised and encouraged to act like self centered megalomaniacs. No, you weren't born here with a higher purpose, you're not special or unique and you're not a better person than anyone else.
