First World Problems!

It's hot and I want to go outside but the air conditioning is inside.
I'm standing in front of my microwave, heating water in a cup for a minute and a half to make instant coffee, and yelling, "Hurry up!"
This morning I had to go gtocery shopping at four different stores to accomodate my picky lifestyle choices. :D
*Trader Joes and Whole Foods were really crowded too. :D
Mod
After tons of work getting my garden ready, I find the air conditioner much more appealing.

Now that is a true first world problem!
Mod
Dang it, outside! Be more cool!
Mod
Oh, no. Do you have more? What flavor was it? *pout*
Mod
I have a bunch of lighters but no weed.
I got a 2-star rating on one of my books...in retaliation (I'm pretty sure) for a 2-star rating I gave another author (legitimately, I did buy and read their book, and I even liked the story so much I wanted it to have an actual ending, which it didn't).I literally LOL'd when I saw that rating. ;D
Oh...and I can't get decent carnitas in my town anymore. 'S up with that?
My gym nemesis (an 80 year old African American great grandmother) got to the gym before me this morning and took the only treadmill that doesn't creak and rattle when you get up to speed. She was there for 60 minutes, walking, plodding along with all the energy and urgency of a sloth taking a nap. And she kept glaring at me because my treadmill was noisy. Grrr.
And her sneakers were nicer than mine. I'm not sure why this brought my vanity out either. I've been battling her in my mind for more than a year now. She tends to win.

How about you give me half your lighters, I'll give you half my weed. That way we won't have that part of the 1st world problems anymore!
I think my main first-world problem is that I have first-world problems. And yes, I used to have to travel thru 10 miles of snow by myself to get to school. Well, not exactly by myself. Until the dinosaur stepped on a kindergartener. Then they made me leave him home.
And a band australopithecines beat me up and stole my lunch money. Those dang cowry shells are really hard to come by!
And then my espresso machine broke... ;-D
(But I'm ahead of Dwayne in the comments queue again! HAHAHA! That's a first-world victory!)
Mod
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!
Wait... I'm a mod... I can fix this....
*sneaks off to delete a bunch of Owen's comments.

Then I'd give it to my wife 'cause she needs it more than I. Dang it, when will weed be legalized?
Just one of the reasons I want to move to Colorado.

Don't you get a lot of rain, though? Denver has sunshine, like, 300 days of the year, I think. My sister-in-law says they get a lot, anyway. My wife needs the weed, I need sunshine.
Mod
My foster kittens keep trying to eat my hair.
I've gained weight and my $200 jeans are a little uncomfortable and I might have to go buy a new pair instead of getting those new strappy sandals I've been thinking about.

I have a bunch of weed but no lighters! Wanna hang out?

There's no autocorrect if I use the desktop view. I hate the mobile view. :/

And a few days ago they took away "Family Ties". Dang you again, Netflix!
Tom Hanks on that show tho.
Here's a classic first-world problem:
Last Wednesday I had an MRI and was told to put my watch, pocket change and keys in a locker before I entered the MRI room. The woman didn't warn me about the credit and debit cards in my wallet, which I carried in with me. This morning at the grocery store I found that the magnetic strips on both had been neatly erased.

Oh, no! I know the feeling. About a month ago, some places were turning down my debit card. It was nearing the expiration date and getting pretty worn out. I kept wanting to stand in front of clerks and whine, "but, I have money! I really do!"
Neither did I until after the MRI. Suspected I might have a problem this morning so I made sure I had enough cash beforehand. Good thing, too. Then I had to stop by the bank for more cash and to apply for a replacement for my debit card--which no longer works in the ATM.
Another credit card related First World Problem: My bank replaced my old card with a pin and chip card (the US is just now converting to these), but I only experienced my first pin and chip transaction while out in Spokane, WA for Worldcon. I was like...Wuh? Felt like a total yokel and noob trying to use it.
Target has implemented this. The chipped cards make an annoying noise if you try to swipe them. I imagine the employees are at near murder levels from the jarring "ERN-ERN-ERNT!!!" noises constantly barraging them.
New first-world problem: I'm trying to can spiced plums tonight ('cause I'm cool like that) and I don't have enough jars. I checked my cold storage and it turns out I haven't eaten enough of the jam I made two years ago and now I have to throw it away and it feels crappy because it's a waste of food and you can't eat jam past two years in storage. One is better. Two is dicey.Not as funny as others but I needed somewhere to complain. And I'm too cheap to buy new jars so I have to either clean out the old ones or wait till the thrift store opens tomorrow.
Mod
Feel free to vent.
Not getting the exact food you want is a serious first world problem. Like the other day when I really wanted a Caesar salad at the coffee shop, but they were out of lettuce, so I asked for a roast beef wrap, but they were out of spinach. I had to settle for some kind of panini.
I want to change the TV channel to catch the news, but can't find the remote!
Mod
Flood, fire, famine, murder, corrupt politics. And tomorrow will be warm and breezy. There's the news for you!
My main burr grinder broke yesterday. I had to use the DECAF grinder to grind my caffinated breakfast blend! This is going to throw my whole life into a tizzy until I can get over to Bed Bath & Beyond. I just hope I have a coupon...
The news is same old, same old:"Flood, fire, famine, murder, corrupt politics." And tomorrow will be raining!
The Internet is running SO slow on my iPhone!
The waiter at work delivered the wrong type of coffee to my desk this morning.
No! I'm too tall for petite but too short for regular length trousers!
Dang you, Netflix! This is not the first time you robbed me of a show when I was only halfway through!
I'm going to start watching 3rd Rock from the Sun, instead... which is actually a superior show... but STILL!
How about all of you? What first world problems are ruining your day?
