[Closed] First World Problems thread

There's nowhere to put my iPod in my new car. It keeps falling off the passenger seat.

Is that because you are driving too fast Dez? 😉

Oi!

[i]Is that because you are driving too fast Dez? [/i]

Like a freeekin [i]rocket[/i], man.

- My investment portfolio has tanked so I have to sell one of my £150k cars 🙁

- My downstairs iPad intermittently drops off the wifi network 🙁

- My cleaner is ill so I'm living in filth 🙁

T'other half tweaked open a ring-pull with my Wusthof........
I don't see how we'll survive this 😡

[i]my Wusthof[/i]

that's some sort of gun dog isn't it?

In BA Club (Business) Class, the port is ALWAYS too cold

As is the red wine. I have to give it to my fluffer to warm up.

I'm becoming increasing more angry every time I hear a documentary commentator describing events that have happened in the past in the present tense.

I dropped a piece of buttered toast on my office chair this morning, after cleaning it up I'm now having to sit on a nappy to protect my suit trousers from the damp area.

one is left wondering why KINGTUT keeps a supply of nappies at his office?

Left over from when my daughter used to come to work with my wife (who works with me).

The biros at work aren't proper genuine Bic biros, but a poor office supplier version. Horrible scratchy things

you work with your mummmy and she does your childcare as well...I think you need to spread your wings a little

I have run out of Hummous...worse still I have no tahini so cant make any more

EDIT: DAMN YOU AND YOUR EDIT [shakes fist]- to be fair he did it before my post appeared

Thread of the year already.

A menu for a local sandwich shop has been left in the kitchen at work. Listed amongst their fare is "panini's."

Not only have they used an obvious greengrocer's apostrophe, but [i]panini is bloody well plural to start with.[/i] The cleaner is going to have her work cut out tonight, mopping up exploded Cougar off the walls.

Cos my internet is slow I experience a lot of lag when playing MW3 and therefore get killed a lot. Makes it very hard to improve my K/D rate 😡

I got some mud splashed onto one of the reversing sensors of my pointlessly large 4x4, and now it beeps annoyingly. I’ll have to get out of the car and clean the offending part – how frustrating.

Getting the right grade of granite for the work surfaces in my chalet is proving very difficult.

Miroku, Blaser or Browning? It’s just so [i]difficult[/i] to choose.

Sadly, all true.

The missus has only gone and purchased a glass bottle of ketchup instead of a squeezy one. I had to wait literally seconds before getting any sauce on my chips.

I nearly cried last night thinking about all the great music out there that I might never discover

Really

(well maybe not the actual crying bit)

I got a Waitrose card through the post last night, I'm not sure what it's for, cos it's not like a clubcard

I can't decide whether to get another cartoon mountain bike riding sheep tattooed onto my leg.

Just keep listening to the same old stuff you listened to 10 years ago. Works for most people 😉 (Carter USM, I ask ya!)

Carter? 10 years ago?
More like 20 😆

It's really irritating how they've changed the tagging system on here so that you can only add a tag when you make a post

Not even a jokey one this, but I get bewildered by the methods available to listen to music. I remember the days when you bought vinyl or a cassette, but now there's iTunes, Amazon, CDs, Spotify, Napster etc etc. The lines between broadcast radio and buying music are so blurry, and I just fear that one day I'll wake up and realise that vast music collection I thought I had has disappeared into the ether.

Fortunately I still have a shed load of vinyl and CDs to keep me going 😀

I bought a silk tie especially for my sister's wedding, but now she's asking the men to wear the same colours. It's such a dilemma.

I've almost run out of black pepper.

There are people who will do this for you you know

This is a mtb forum and no one has added:

26 or 29?

120mm or 140/150mm?

FS or HT?

Helmets - should they be legally enforced?

Should I ride on a footpath?

There are people who will do this for you you know

I know, but I wanted it done right then. I had to stop, take the car out of drive, get out of the car, determine which sensor had the mud globule on it, clean it, wipe my feet as I got back into the car, put it back into gear...it takes [i]so much time[/i].

I must have wasted very nearly a minute!

I've run out of fresh basil

I don't have any spare Maxtra filter cartridges for my kettle so my tea has scummy bits floating on the top

🙁

Still or sparkling?

One from Karl Lagerfeld a few years ago:

"I have nine houses, but I only need eight."

I forgot to take the bread out the machine when it had finished earlier on and I've now got a pastrami sandwich made of slightly warm, slightly soggy bread for lunch.

My cleaner keeps wiping down the silver candlesticks with a damp cloth which is making them tarnish.

I've run out of silver polish.

I go to the gym Monday/Wednesday/Friday nights, but the other half has arranged for us to go out for a chinese with her friend tonight meaning I'll have to go to the gym tomorrow morning.

Buggered my whole weekend up.

At some point I put the first three letters of my e-mail address in facebook and pressed enter rather that down then enter. now it has saved it and it comes up first so i have to press down twice. this is a classic example of a first world problem but does anyone know how i can amend it because it really is irritating the hell out of me.

Sometimes I put two slices of bread into my Dualit toaster, but inadvertently leave it on the single slice setting, thereby ending up with one toasted slice and one slice of hot floppy bread.

PS - OP: point 1) Surely you poke the vent hole in with a biro? Perfect flow rate every time.

"I'm becoming increasing more angry every time I hear a documentary commentator describing events that have happened in the past in the present tense."

- he's sitting down, he's watching a documentary, he's listening to the present tense and he's getting angry.

My Bialetti Mokka fell into the washing up bowl and now all the accumulated oils have washed away.
