First World Problems
I love this sub-reddit on First World Problems… where people (purposefully) complain about problems that aren’t really problems — at least, relative to problems in the developing world.
A few of the best ones:
- The torrents I want least are downloading the fastest.
- I was really full, but I still had one slice of pizza left, so I ate it anyway and now my stomach hurts.
- I let my cereal sit soak in the milk too long and now it’s soggy
- I can’t hear the TV over the crunching of the food in my mouth.
- The automatic door into the grocery store opened a split second after I anticipated it would, so I had to break my stride because I was afraid it wouldn’t open at all.
- I ran out of Cocoa Pebbles so I had to eat Fruity Pebbles, and it doesn’t turn my milk chocolate.
- My doctor won’t prescribe me adderall even though I have a big test coming up. Now, I’ll have to buy some from a friend and my health insurance won’t cover it.
- I wanted to watch this YouTube video in 720p, but it only went up to 480p
- All of the Lexus dealerships in my area are sold out of the CT Hybrid so I have to wait
- I’m on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me and I’m like oh great, now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle
A good reminder that most of our problems are high class problems!

Whiners.
Yeah.
Life is terribly tough, sometimes ‘living’ is harder.
Man, I travel for leisure all the time and I hate packing! What should I wear?? Woe is me!
at least #10 is a no brainer – drink the water and recycle the bottle – if someone comes for the water tell em you don’t know anything about no water bottle.
i was ready to cause a scene at Red Lobster a few months ago when i found out that i missed the end of Endless Shrimp fest BY A DAY.

Damn right!
11. i dont always use reddit, but when i do, i end up losing 4 hours of my day…
I don’t imagine many of us would survive if we were stranded on a desert island.
You’re a great blogger, do you know that? We could use your blogs to balance all those nasty trollings and drama crap on the Front Page. This is refreshing!
surprised there wasn’t any complains on ipad2.
4 actually happens to me sometimes…I kid you not. I have actually turned up the tv so I could hear it over my crunching…
I’d just like to download a torrent of soggy cereal.
Funny shit……

My TV isnt HD.
