[Closed] Your first world problems today

Not being able to find a solution to any of life's problems/questions on the STW search function?!

I've moved house and I currently only have 24/7 access to 2 of my bikes

I need a dump. Can't decide which bog to use.

Can't find a laptop stand tall enough to allow me to comfortably watch Sky Go boxsets on the laptop whilst I'm on the cross trainer in my dining room.

How can I live like this?

Oh! the humanity... 😀

Ordinary Lion bar or a white chocolate one?

I am so happy with my current stash of bikes that I can't think of one to add to the 'which bike do you really fancy' thread that I don't already own.

I can only get 3G data connection in the café and it is taking longer than I’d like to copy thousands of image files from a client. Everywhere should have 4G by now - it’s the very least the phone companies can do…

Sandwich van is 5 minutes late. I'm really slightly peckish.

I need to go and find a place that sells sparklers. I guess I'll have to ride my Brompton and find a scenic route between all possible places.

Having trouble deciding whether to take the wife+kids out for lunch on Sunday or just the wife+me. Not sure what restaurant to go to, either.

I'm struggling to plan which bike to ride when over the weekend 😥 😕

Also, all this talk of red meat being bad for you put me off buying a beef and stilton sandwich for lunch as I know we're having cottage pie for supper; instead I went for a chicken salad and I'm regretting it already.

Nespresso descaling fluid has ruined my Latissimo with a foul taste. 👿

Sandwich van arrived. Didn't have any bacon sandwiches, only sausage. I fancied bacon.

*sighs, whilst eating a sausage sandwich*

If we're in the first world, doesn't that mean all problems are first world problems?

IE some poor destitute alcoholic in London who has nowhere to sleep is still in the first world so it's a first world problem?

Do I have breakfast tea or everyday tea?

Working from home today and my 100mb internet connection is getting bogged down 🙁

Do I have breakfast tea or everyday tea?

Builders or Chamomile Shirley?

The girl in the office who made my tea didn't put enough milk in it.

It's slightly too brown. :/

Turbo session at lunch time or real ride in the rain later?

I bought a pack of 4 mini pork pies and had to give 3 away.

Can't decide whether to take my daughter to nursery tomorrow by walking or cycling. Can't decide whether to pick up by car or bike (pickup is more time critical.)

Can't build my new Ti frame yet as I'm still waiting for a few bits to arrive.

Nespresso descaling fluid has ruined my Latissimo with a foul taste.

pah! you think you have it bad? my delivery of Kiriani Terisia AA kenyan beans has failed to materialise so i’m stuck with some 2 month old Ethiopian Buesaco Yirgacheiffe. 😐

scrap mixed metals are only £20 a ton at the moment. 5yrs ago I got £180 a ton.

A mate weighed in a car - £30!

I just filled the trailer up with 200Kg of junk. £4.

I got £4 for an old mower battery.
and £1.20 for a washing machine motor.

Scrap is not diamond in the shit it seems at the moment 🙁

If we're in the first world, doesn't that mean all our problems are first world problems?

Not in the spirit of the meme. Being homeless or having measles whilst in the first world is not considered a FWP.

My crisps were stale.

The earth is the third planet from the sun. That makes everything a third world problem. FACT!

Are you allowed to say meme on here?

I made scrambled eggs on bagels this morning and posted on Facebook. Someone replied asking why I didn't garnish with crispy bacon or add some smoked salmon. My entire day is ruined now.

I feel disadvantaged because I do not have a media room in my "Executive" home.

It's a beautiful day, I've got nothing important to do and there's a huge pile of logs outside that need splitting and stacking. There are also distractions - STW, Youtube, guitars... . I thought I'd finished with wood for this year then a friend phoned at 8:00 yesterday to say he was having a tree felled and they were going to charge for taking the wood away, so could I take some.

I'm just not sure what or where to eat tonight. The wife is out so do I go for a burger? Or ribs? Or even some Mexican? I simply can't decide.

Also, planning a skiing holiday and can't decide which resort to head to.

It's taken longer than I expected to get my office to understand the concept of changing from paying in arrears to paying in advance as the customer would prefer...the fact that we'll have to make two months payments in one month seems to be an impossibly difficult concept to grasp...

I'm willing to accede to the idea that this may not be strictly a FWP and more just stupidity...but it's still un-necessarily irritating

Got 'the rage' because the shop that I bought my Son's Xmas gift from charged me twice, which meant I was overdrawn and the nice lady in the shop had to tell me my card was declined this morning, which was embarrassing.

When I got to work in a mild panic I tried to log into my online banking to work out what 'da fug' was going on - my work PC wasn't playing ball so gave the keyboard a gentle Hadouken.

There was a bang, and the two little legs on the back of the keyboard fired off, one hit me in the forehead. Now they're just sat their mocking me as I try to type on a too flat keyboard.

Pair of pricks.

25% of the properties in Hampstead Garden Suburb allow their hedge to grow into the pavement. Some by up to a foot! (30 cm for the youth)
The cheek of it.

I have an over ripe per for my dinner, I may get pair juice on my fruitcake, and I don't like mixing my food.

People spelling pear wrong. Twice.

I've ordered a Steyr match air pistol but my local firearms dealer is dragging his feet in sending his RFD certificate through to the supplier in Edinburgh.

It's just not bloody on.

If we're in the first world, doesn't that mean all our problems are first world problems?

That's not true, there are STW members from both Scotland and Wales 😆

Pear.
Pear.
Pear.

Strava won't show current cadence and heart rate, only averages. Much disappointment.

Giving myself a well deserved day off today.. After I dropped the kids to school, I came home and went back to bed 🙂

I'm lying here a little perplexed now though, cos I know my falafel recipe is missing that little something extra and I just can't put my finger on what it is

Just shows quite how upset I was, but I managed to avoid cross contamination so my ying and yang is nicely balanced.

Yin. 😀

My commute to work in the second of my two cars was longer than usual because of ongoing roadworks in Bradley Stoke.

Unbelievable - I had to walk almost twice as far as I normally do to get from the free parking to the heated office.
