Yes, I have them. I live in a first world and I have problems. I get annoyed when people use loose and not lose. I complained and cried when Taco Bell got rid of the Chili Cheese burrito and rejoiced when they brought it back. 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 don't like rough toilet paper. Cereal serving sizes bother me...it's NEVER enough. I get irritated when I eat breakfast somewhere and they only have grape jelly and no strawberry. I complain about how cold my office seems to be these days. I hate when my internet connection seem to slow down. I'm mad right now because my docking station is acting up and my third monitor isn't working.

I have first world problems...but they are my problems, so I'll complain about them as much as I want, and I'll even come to a public internet forum and start a topic about them if I want.

If typing "First World Problems" as your only forum post in every other thread makes you feel somehow superior or as though you are helping point out and solve third world issue, then more power to you, but let me let you in on a little secret...you're not helping anyone.

    Although I DID get rather upset when I paid three dollars for a cupcake at my campus cafeteria the other day, bit into it, and it tasted like it was more than a week old... but that just proves that it was a bad decision for me anyway! *shrug*

    Real first world problem right here. I can't get the code to embed the image I want while on my iPhone and my job blocks the meme site from which the image is hosted. :indifferent:

    Is it trivial, yeah it is. I would rather have these problems though rather than grocery shopping at a dump or out of a dumpster.

    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?

    No, that's a second world problem and you should probably start your own thread, or better yet, that might be better suited in a group with like minded people.

    The other night I was making a dijon sauce for my salmon, and the recipe called for a couple tbsp of dry white wine. I didn't have any bottles of dry white wine that were cheap enough to just randomly open on a Tuesday night. I was actually annoyed and bothered that I only had more expensive bottles of wine.



    It doesn't get much more First World than that, folks.

    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!
