I mean..we all have problems..
For some it's money, food, and shelter. For others it's slightly more benign.. but we all have problems.

Use this space as an arena to vent your [clearly] first world issues - no judgement, no replies - simply......type....and.....relax.......

I'll go first:

[b][i]My new bean to cup coffee machine needs the water reservoir refilling at an almost inconvenient rate. I wish it wouldn't clean itself out so frequently..

My mpg for the last tank of fuel dropped from 68mpg for the previous, to 58.

I've become a hooligan; please pass the Rosary.

I paid off some of the capital on my mortgage and it didn't show up in my banking app after 2 days - I *needed* to see a balance reduced by a few thousand euros _immediately_.

I'm at work on a stupidly slow internet connection and cannot stream from www.themoth.org, or listen to the TED radio hour, not even Lake Wobegon...

Tch...

The canteen at work served up three types of curry (Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Korma and Beef Madras, if you're interested) and then ruined it all by deciding that spring rolls with sweet chilli sauce would be the perfect side dish. I'm all for a bit of "fusion cuisine", but that's taking the piss. Bloody Philistines.

There's some dust buildup lodged in a joint on the centre console of my car which needs hoovering, it bothers me but not enough to carry the hoover outside.

Because my router died I have to make do with only 74meg Internet instead of my usual 150ish for a day or so - this resulted in me having to wait a second or so longer to get a bit of information I needed from OneDrive - I actually tutted. Oh how they'll weep for me in the camps of Calais tonight!

I also have this major problem however, yesterday I went fishing off Seaham South pier (cos there's 2) & for the 1st time there caught NAFF ALL!!
Really really annoyed/puzzled.

I set my varmin watch to average pace and it ruined my training run for the amsterdam marathon.

There aren't enough letters allowed in strava to communicate this technical difficulties to my followers.

I got so frustrated with the Apple TV remote and logging into to my Netflix account following a password change I downloaded the controller app on to my iPhone (which needs updating to 8.4 incidentally)

The hot tub at my holiday apartment isn't quite hot enough but the weather is too hot and the trails are too dusty.

My shiny new frame and Bos suspension is taking slightly longer than expected to turn up, I'm also worried my wheels will clash with said frame.

Should I take the pork shoulder out of the bottom oven of the Aga tonight or leave it in until tomorrow? (It's been in there since last night)

I think my first world problems would bridge the admittedly small gap in this thread between satire and downright bragging. :p

Wallop - are you out in Morzine? Greetings if so, am too. Hope you haven't beaten yourself up too much.

We bent one race car last weekend and don't know which of the other two to use next weekend? Many of my mountain bikes have little niggles the one that doesn't is too nice to ride in the dirt.

I've got a meeting at work tomorrow in which I need to take notes on my iPad but I want to ride the long way to work tomorrow which I prefer to do without a bag. This happens reasonably regularly and so I'm debating buying a cheap tablet to leave at work.

When my neighbour opposite chooses to park in the road instead of his drive it inconveniences me a little as I have to add another back & forward to the turn so I can reverse into my drive.

If I go ahead and have this bloody great 2 story extension built on the front of my house I won't be able to fit our 2 cars, van and caravan on the front any more. Big house, small plot bah!

I can't decide between the M Sport spec in estoril blue or save 2.5k and go for the SE spec in Mineral Grey with the more sensible 17" wheels ๐Ÿ˜•

I realised only after starting cooking tonight that I was out of rice wine vinegar. I had to use white wine vinegar instead. Oh the shame!

I'm working on a movie and for some stupid reason or other (probably the script or something) the producers have decided we have to make it on the wrong side of scotland.

Oxford is as expensive as central London and the pay is lower.

I've run out of rapeseed oil.

The canteen at work served up three types of curry (Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Korma and Beef Madras, if you're interested)

"Hi, I'm vegetarian."

Hi, I'm vegetarian.

"There's rice, and a salad bar. And chicken noodle soup. That's kind of vegetarian."

It's not really the sort of canteen that caters to all tastes.

I'm one flight off the next FF Tier which means on Sunday night I have to slum it in the pleb lounge in Abu Dhabi rather than the nice one (which I should get on the way back)
Also there may be snow at the top of the Whole Enchalada in Moab when I get there in October - and I need to try and get Rampage tickets while I fly to the UK.

Just smoke the bleeding thing and be done with it.
