Share your first world problems

[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.

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.

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'?

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.

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.

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.

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. ;__;

No, first-world countries can have actual problems (being dragged to court and being sued because you spilled coffee on someone is an actually serious problem that typically only happens in first-world countries).

"First world problems" was SUPPOSED to reference people who claim their "day is ruined" because they dropped their soda or couldn't find bean sprouts in the fridge or got a Mercedes in the wrong shade of pink. It got hijacked by the internet and made into a "quit whining about things" shortcut, because that's what the internet does.

See EeveeElectro's posts for a good example of what First World Problems are supposed to be.

I'm still not over City of Heroes being gone, apprently

cause this made me cry

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

This is an old but good one from when I was young:
I was renting Godzilla movies and I wasn't old enough to comprehend that the original actors is usually better than the english dubs, I just wanted to hear in in english.
Godzilla 2000 had an english option.
The next one I rented (I can't remember which one it was) did not.
I threw a bit of a fit.

 

[FrozenCones]

I keep losing my Apple TV remote down the side of the couch.

 

[Owyn_Merrilin]

I have an awesome stereo that I just upgraded, but very little time to use it. I also have a stack of unplayed videogames that would be at least chest height if the Steam games were in physical boxes. Can I be 12 again? Or even 18? I miss having free time.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Increasingly sadistic boss in the past few years. I'd quit, but in today's job market chances of finding anything are slim.

 

[Doneeee]

I can't stop watching pretty little liars on netflix , it's so terribly addictive , and i'm a straight man . I think i felt my balls shrink a little:

Don't feel bad, I once watched the first 3 seasons of Beauty and the Geek. All in ONE sitting! I still have no clue what compelled me to do so...

OT: I have almost no time to play the sweet DMC HD collection due to my hectic schedule. Woe is me.

 

[Reincarnatedwolfgod]

I dropped my laptop fell off a table 2 about 2-3 feet on to a tile floor. one side of the frame thing is slightly loose now and a tinny piece of unimportant plastic chipped off. other then that yeah it still works just fine.
in fact I made this comment on that same laptop.

also I have a game/anime/cartoon backlog that I should take care of. Instead I am just playing Fallout New Vegas during my free time. I spent over 750 hour in that game so far. you would think I would be tired of that game at this point but I am not.

 

[VeryOddGamer]

I ordered Dark Souls and a PC gamepad on the weekend. They might not arrive this week.

Also, my internet is shit, keeps making error 101.

Also also, I am at the moment reading Childhood's End, and for some time it had a Finnish protagonist. Not anymore, though. *sniff*
