Couldn't hear the TV over my crunchy snacks

I guess being unable to lose weight?

It is ridiculous how privileged it is in the context of human history to actually struggle with too much calories.

My 65" oled tv is pretty laggy, and there's supposed to be an Optimize section in the menu, but there isn't, and the firmware is up to date.

A couple of weeks ago, my favorite coffeeshop was closed. And, to make matters worse, my backup coffeeshop was closed. I was very lucky that my second backup was open. Otherwise, I would have been forced to go to the fucking Starbucks.

I dated a girl who’s family never kept leftovers from meals even thanksgiving dinner they would throw out anything not eaten after dinner.

When I lived with my grandparents for a while I had to use the bathroom without heated floors whenever the maid was cleaning the other one. My current bathroom straight up doesn't have heating.

My friend is a multi-multi-multi-millionaire. Her father started a retail giant in my country. She has her own pool building with (i think it's called) a free span roof. It is big enough to contain 6 copies of the house I used to own, exterior, roof, chimney and all. She spends more money per month heating the building and pool (which has not been used in 3 years) and paying maintenance and upkeep, than most people pay on their mortgage per year. She complained that the cost of natural gas went up 1.2%. She was spitting mad, tearing up the bill, balling it up and throwing it down in a huff. She also has a 30 car single span roof garage with row after row of industrial racking which contains mostly packrat stuff. She keeps that "Quonset" as she calls it, a balmy 20C all year through our -25C winters. And also complains about that cost.

I live in a nice village, my company were going litter picking volunteering which I really wanted to do but after day 1 (found a few items) it was just going for a walk with an empty bag.

I considered dropping lower the night before my son had to do a litter pick for a beavers badge

I ate too much, and now I feel so bloated that all I can bring myself to do is sit on my comfortable sofa

The most first world problem I ever experienced was years ago, some games show tips and info during load screens, well my new computer was loading the games faster than I was able to read the tips, the moment I voiced my complaint about it I knew it was the most first world problem I would ever experience.

I now have a motorized desk at work and unlike the one we have at home, you cannot single-tap the memory setting and just watch it adjust. I need to hold it until my desired height is reached.

Get those little pressure lines on your fingers carrying bags of groceries into the house.

A family with too much stuff in their house. We're sometimes given brand new clothes with the tag still on that they forgot about and no longer want. And this is like upper middle class.

Anyway, what I mean to say is tax the rich.

The motorcycle I bought to zip around and have fun on is broken, so I have to drive my car instead while I wait for the part to arrive.

I am currently at a party of around 50 people sitting alone because I only know 1 person who is off talking to others, feeling super awkward. Does that count?

I bought the wrong dual arm monitor stand, and couldn't refund it.

The ice maker stopped working and When I make Sodastream I pour it over ice so I wouldn't make Sodastream soda and was "forced" to drink the Cokes in the fridge. It took 2 days before the ice machine was fixed.

The firstest world problem ever: Bored horny teen boys memed us into fascism through social media manipulation and no one is willing to face facts about it

My local supermarket keeps the dark beers in the cooler!

C'mon guys, the darks are brewed to taste best at room temperature... and I want it now.

When my WiFi has a 5-10 minute hiccup because my ISP is upgrading its network.

How will I ever last?

I don't know what's the most first world problem I've experienced, but the most recent was when I tried to use my roasting pan on my relatively new stove today and found that the roasting pan is not induction compatible.

So I put it in the Goodwill pile and ordered a fancy brand pan to replace it.

There is no quickfix for the Mercedes auto engine shut off when you stop in traffic so I have to manually turn it off everytime I start the car or else the .5 second delay when I release the brake to press the accelerater gives me anxiety

Having to wait an entire weekend for next day delivery because it doesn't include the weekend.

I have a weird relationship with numbers. I like some more than others.

I don't like # 9.

My current phone is a Pixel Pro 9. I'm seriously considering trying to sell it and get the Pixel Pro 10. 🙄

My robot lawnmower keeps getting stuck on my garden beds and I have to walk out at least once a day to restart it.

My job is like 8 miles away from my house, so during the winter, I don't get to have the car cranked long enough for it to fully warm up by the time I have made it to work, so if I forget to use my remote start then I have to drive a cold car to work.

There is a pixel out on my monitor and I debated getting a new monitor.
