In the recent annoying family thread I posted that I thought there wasn't enough therapy in the world to help everyone that needs it. TiBber selective misogyny posted: Which is apropos. I really think it's a first-world problem rather than a white people problem specifically, although going to a therapist seems like something white people do as opposed to other cultures. FOCUS: What are your favorite first-world problems that you have, or have seen others have? Do you even try to maintain perspective on your place in the world, or do you say 'fuck it?'
It fucking annoys me to no end that there is a recycling center in town, but it is on the other side of town. There are no neighborhood pickups. So, in order to go throw my trash in special little dumpsters, I have to drive 45 minutes round trip and burn a bunch of expensive gas to do so. Or, I can accumulate it for a week or two and then give it to my sister when she visits my parents, because she lives 5 minutes from the center. I have seriously contemplated trying to get the city to open another one on the west side of town (the population density is higher here, anyway), but I will be moving in less than 9 months and I have a feeling this project would take upwards of a year to get going.
People on the internet keep being wrong and need correcting. I am not fulfilling my self-actualization needs. KIMaster keeps red-dotting me.
Fuck that, first-world problems are the way towards progress. The fact that they exist—and that we care about them—is the only true driving force in our society.
Others: - Inability to get 'American' food at sushi places - Missing a TV show they already set up on DVR Me: - When Netflix cuts out and I'm resorted to my extensive DVD collection (this infuriates me) - When I have to pay cash at farm stands/flea markets - Grocery stores that don't take Amex (I get 6% back at grocery stores with Amex) - Lack of KIMaster on this board - When air conditioning cuts out
First World Problems: Making the world a better place, one "I said skim no fat TRIPLE-shot latte, not double!" at a time. I have been getting annoyed all week because the lack of "admin" status at work means I can't install Spotify on my computer. Pandora just won't cut it some days, ya know?
A friends sister keeps complaining that her original iPhone is killing her, and she can't wait until September and the iPhone 5. Women not swallowing. . . there are people starving all over the world. Be grateful.
Our women only get paid 70 times the average wage of a resident of the third world instead of the 100 times that our men get paid.
It's been so hot outside that air conditioners are having a hard time keeping up, mine has been unable to hit the 70 degrees that I have it set on. The upstairs level of my 2 story house is so hot that sometimes I sweat while I am blow drying my hair. Frankly, it's infuriating.
I couldn't decide if I wanted Pei Wei or Chipotle for dinner. So I went to Bullritos instead because it has a Marble Slab right next door. Looks like I will have to get up early to go to the gym tomorrow.
My message therapist called to reschedule my appointment, I'm in desperate need of a hair cut, and I'm having difficulty finding time to work on my pile of laundry. Worst. Week. Ever. UGH!
I am deeply, deeply pissed off that the Rush Poker Android client died with Full Tilt. What can I even do all day if I can't play poker on my phone? Work? (I'm kidding, I have my kindle with A Dance of Dragons on it in front of me). My spa takes 4-5 hours to heat up. What fucking good is that? I want to get women semi-naked now, not in 5 hours! My pool drops off sharply at one end, making it difficult to get a fair game of pool volleyball. Oh, and the sound system in my car is too clear for my old low bitrate mp3s, so I'm having to refresh my music collection. Life sucks.
Isn't this just the rants from the Rant & Rave thread? I pay for a 1 hour massage and it stops after 50 mins. The fluff and fold went up $.05/lb To top that off, the Go-Pro footage I got wake boarding this weekend wasn't the best. Life sucks.
Bob and Steve, the two skunks the dwell in my backyard keep breaking into my shed at night. I'm afraid one night I will walk in on them when they are cornered and it will be showtime in the Heinz bath. There are too many bumblebees near my compost, and their buzzing and large size freaks me out. Rabbits keep biting the heads of my gerbera daisies. My gameskeeper Hasbro keeps overfeeding the peacocks, whose screeching interrupts my morning bowl of Beluga flakes and lasagna made out of Ghost Tiger blood and emeralds.
My laptop screen crapped out a little while ago, so I had to plug it into my 37" 1080i LCD TV via an HDMI cable. Now I have to turn on a TV every time I want to stream live porn on the internet.
Thought I have had many times over the past two months: "Ugh, seriously? The internet in the jungle/town that barely has electricity/island off of Panama is too slow for me to watch The Daily Show while working the job that's so mindless I seek out entertainment to fill in the 40/60 minutes per hour when I'm not really working, and that I only need the internet to do so that's how I can go traveling for a couple months in the first place? WHAT THE FUCK!?"
These new eco-friendly caps on my bottled water never screw on correctly, so I'm forced to screw-unscrew for a couple seconds until it's on right. Sometimes when I really need to take a dump, I walk into the bathroom and sit down before realizing I left my phone on the coffee table, so I'm bored for a couple of minutes. I have a fridge full of food, but nothing to eat.
