    I hate the whole "First World Problems...." thing, because it's usually Americans complaining about their problems. But America is not a First World country. This is the New World - ie, the 2nd world. Smooshing us in to the 1st world, and naming many old world countries "2nd world" during the cold war was just annoying and confusing, and the cold war is over now anyway.

    In an era when many college students can't locate Washington, DC on a map, should we really be cluttering up peoples geographic minds this way? Simply knowing which world a country belongs to will become as difficult as remember whether coffee or fat or carbs or whatever is good or bad!

    Whoa...WHoa...WHOA!!!

    Slow your roll there. A little warning next time please. Something like, History lesson ahead, you're gonna get a schoolin', read at your own risk: or some such nonsense.

    Anyone who wants to criticize others for their first world problems needs to remember that they're on a weight loss website where we digitally complain about the results of the excess food we've eaten and how difficult it is to resist snarfing up all the tempting goodies all around us. It doesn't get much more first world that that.

    The router in my house must have weak wifi in my weight room. One minute I'm jammin out on my elliptical to my Pandora station, then the next it sounds like a scratched CD. CURSE YOU WIRELESS CONNECTION! CURSE YOOOOOU!!

    I totally understand. I have that problem too, but in my bedroom. My room is on the third floor of a townhouse and the router is on the first. I'm trying to watch my netflix and suddenly the internet will get super slow, and then I get really annoyed! :explode:

    I get upset when I buy some donuts only to find I got the day old donuts by accident instead of the fresh one.

    I want a donut now...you suck. But I love you anyway.

    I hate when the toilet seat is cold.

    and yet am creeped out when it is warm.

    Quite the conundrum, isn't it.

    Is it a first world problem when you spend the better part of your day debugging some C code originally written by someone from the third world?
    I'm not sure if that should be a sum, average, or and. I'm pretty sure it's not an xor though.

    D'oh! Just get your helper monkey to go change the channel for you. That's what those helper monkeys are for, right?
