What's your most annoying first world problem?

[Tallim]

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

 

[Fraught]

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.

My neighbours singing.

Sounds like a cat being slowly stretched and screetching.

 

[Cheesus333]

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?

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.

[Sizzle Montyjing]

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 !

 

[Esotera]

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.
