First World Problems

[unfinishedsentenc]

There is people starving in the world and I'm practically raging that my XXL pizza box won't fit in the fridge.

I need to wash my hair tonight and I'm not in the mood because it takes so long to dry it

 

[HoGi]

God it makes me cringe so much, it’s all so false. And then if you get called for an interview you have to regurgitate it all over again

I'm helping a colleague by interviewing with him tomorrow. He has written the questions, I basically need to turn up ask a few and make notes. I told him I think some of the questions are crap but he has kept them in. One question is "would you be friends with yourself? And why?"

The underfloor heating being too hot …

I wish I could relate to this

Being cuddled up all comfy in bed and needing to pee

waking up at 7:30am wide awake on a day you don’t need to be up early

Batteries seem to be a running theme. Not being arsed to change the TV remote control batteries that have been running out for the past 3 months, so instead you just take them out and roll them in your hand for a bit. Job's a good 'un

I even have spare batteries for it, but its such a first world problem to actually go through with the whole changing over process.

zoom and how despite using it for a year, people still have 0 idea what they're doing

 

[Bitofthebubbly]

What do you consider to be your biggest weakness

Never know what to say to this. Do they want a genuine answer or..?

I'm helping a colleague by interviewing with him tomorrow. He has written the questions, I basically need to turn up ask a few and make notes. I told him I think some of the questions are crap but he has kept them in. One question is "would you be friends with yourself? And why?"

That’s a corker. Would “yes because I’m fabulous” be an appropriate answer? Seems like the kind of question a narcissist would love

I once had a job ask me who my role model was. I was looking at it thinking... I don't know cause I'm not 8?

I see this kind of question as an opportunity to say something completely outlandish just to see their reaction. My role model is the queen and I aspire to be her one day

We’ve been told having cameras off is “rude” so I’m waiting for those who feel empowered by this nonsense to say something. People are getting out of hand with policing other peoples’ behaviour from a place of “offence”. It’s not harming anyone if you’re engaging just not staring gormlessly at a screen for a mundane meeting. Nobody needs to see me without make-up on

All this tech has made people feel so entitled to others I think.

Having to pay 5p for a bag because you forgot to bring your bags for life.

That's a cheap bag. Think they are all 20p where I live now and have been for a while.

Having to use your phone in bed as it’s charging

 

[mcfeez]

You've just brushed your teeth before bed and your husband offers you a cup of tea and a delicious snack*.

*Food to be clear. Nothing sex related

 

[tinkertailorsoldierspy]

I really love to eat but why must food contain calories! And why does your metabolism go to shit as you get older? Totally not fair.

My socks were falling down as I was doing the school run this morning had to keep stopping to pull them up!

 

[Al Fresco]

A wet dressing gown sleeve

Thought it was just me

My other trick is to get my sleeve stuck on a door handle and nearly yank my arm off walking past!

Another thing to wind me up is getting water in a rubber glove when doing the dishes. And if I ever just need one glove, without fail I always pick up the left one.

 

[prozacprincess]

I can’t fit all the leftover food from the party in my fridge

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

A bit of my tits is not covered by the duvet. If I pull the duvet I risk waking my husband who took ages to get to sleep due to RLS. Cold tits it is

 

[GobShyte64]

When you thought you charged your phone, but you hadnt switched the switch on. Woke up and my battery was 20% FML!

 

[Meangirl815]

Leaving the library at 13.10 and receiving an email at 14.30 saying there's a book available to collect

Crowds of stag nights and hen parties drinking fucking asti at 10.30 in the morning on a train screeching the place down like banshees. Then they stagger off the train drink still in hand. They'll be vomming in a Wetherspoons before it even gets dark. I just want to listen to my podcast and get home in peace!

What is it about this country where if you drink before noon in your house, you're an alcoholic, but if you're on a train then it's fine? Strange culture we have.
