This is stolen directly from Reddit. It is a complaint, but petty in the larger picture.

For example, this morning I woke up early (too damn early). I realized that it was too cold for just a sheet, but too warm for a blanket.

When I think of a complaint in terms of it being a first world problem, it makes me smile.

    I had to walk an extra 5 minutes to make my bus trip 1 zone instead of 2!

    I used too much salt in my soup yesterday and now I am .2 lbs. heavier than I should have been. :sad: /firstworldproblems

    ...

    :laugh: Also, I lied! I lost more weight! Bwuahahahhaaa...

    I always think it's a first-world problem if it's ANY kind of complaint posted ON THE INTERNET FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR ELECTRICALLY-HEATED HOME.

    XD

    :drinker: Good post, bud.

    I am glad you made it. It's a jungle out there.

    ...no it isn't really or it wouldn't be a first world problem.

    I *ALWAYS* think this when someone complains about their hunger at night or wonders what to do because they "need" snacks so frequently. The fact that you can say "I'm hungry" and you have your pick of what food is going to be in your mouth within the next minute floors me. In south FL we have a LOT of people from Haiti, Jamaica (from during the political uprising in the late 70s) Cuba, and other places that have had a lot of instability or are underdeveloped countries. So a lot of my friends know what true starvation feels like, or that they have eaten something that would make a US-born person throw up a little. It's made me very mindful of the things I complain about around them, especially hunger or being picky about what I eat.

    So - a first world problem for me? Counting calories. OMG the burden of LIMITING my fat *kitten* to 1,210!

    I was literally thinking to myself today about what a 'first world' problem this is. Hehe.

    The other day I went into the bathroom only to find out someone was using one of the two stalls. I had to check 3 other bathrooms to find an empty one.

    I bought deodorant and now I can't find it. I either forgot the bag or the cashier didn't put it in.

    I went to the salon to get my nails done yesterday and the nail technician left a rough edge on the pinkie of my french manicure so, when I went to use my iPhone, I scratched the screen. MOMINEEDANEWONE!

    I work at a hotel, and for our convenience we have a monitor (in the back office) that shows us the front desk. So, we don't have to actually sit out at the desk all day. We can chill in the back office on the computer until we see someone walk up. They mounted the monitor high on a shelf this week and now I can't see it from the computer chair I sit in. I have to stand up. So annoying.

    My facial recognition software was being a b*tch this morning, so I had to log into my computer manually. Typing in my password is a real pain in my index finger. FML.

    I have to go to the grocery store after work. The inconvenience of being able to buy stuff after being able to work and being able bodied.

    They did it to help you with your wt. loss goal. Extra calories burned having to stand up.

    I finally had to get up because the wind kept blowing the blind open causing the sun to flash in my eyes.

    I have to stay up late in my lounge on my laptop, editing a paper to turn in tomorrow morning - because I spent some time shopping and working out this afternoon.

    Laptop, post-graduate degree, living abroad, shopping... all while taking a "year off" from working
