rolling FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS thread

lol @ the bank of america posts. i work at b of a (*at*, not *for* -- it's a long-term contract gig through an agency) and even i don't have an account with them. my accounts are with hsbc for checking and a credit union for savings. thinking of moving my checking into the credit union too.

• getting Japan relief fund raiser event fatigue u_u

• just spent a week's pay on getting the brakes on my car fixed

i feel like the shift pattern i do at my very easy office job means working hours that are too long, 10 hour shifts sometimes, but i'm unsure if it's worth the almost £200 less a month i would get if i switched to dayshift with flexi time doing 36 hours per week.

i have to walk ten minutes to the nearest grocery shop that has a decent range/pricing and frequently when i'm doing so it rains.

it is not my turn in any of my facebook scrabble games

when I turn on my AC it's a little too cold but when I leave it off it's a little too hot

having to remove these fucking stickers from my fruits and vegetables

but **YOU DON'T HAVE TO**

Do you eat the stickers on your apples, pears, other non-peely fruit?

i keep forgetting what happened in the previous episode of a tv series by the time i get around to watching the next one

they are digging up my street using a pneumatic drill plus some truck that pummels apart the pavement at 7:30am on a Saturday WTF??!

Dude they've been doing that all week; for fucks sake, how did you manage to sleep through it until now?

dunno, guess my earwax must've become unimpacted during last night's brief slumber

forgetting to attach an attachment to a work email :(

FYI This is the view from dell's living room window @ 9AM last Tuesday (I think)

forgetting to attach an attachment to a work email :(

did this w/ a long detailed e-mail sent to ~300 people once. :''(

my PC at home has malware and I can't use Google or Bing bc their search results auto-redirect me to freaky diseased sites

I mean I guess that could happen in the third world too but there's something pretty... entitled about getting butthurt over the crappiness of ask.com

didn't have the patience to steal a pdf of a modern translation of lucretius from a rapidshare-style filedump, had to make do with a free old-timey translation from the internet classics archive

"first world problems" is kind of a way to get yr nag on w/some "you know there are HUNGRY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD" & get a pass doing it to people other than yr kids y/n - why should you have to wait til you've got a teenager to cop this look amirite

have to put sheets on my bed, would pretty much rather kill myself

Whiney: click "more" in the lower right and it's there. If you want it as a button on the lower bar, click "edit" and you can drag buttons on/off the bar at the bottom.

Nah, I mean when you sort by artists, anything in a comp shows up. it doesnt do that on a pod. drives me nuts

Oh, yeah, that is lame as hell and annoys me.

That fucks me off too. It happens on the Apple TV and there's no easy way to get to the end of the artist list. Ridiculous.

imo Apple TV kind of sucks browsing music unless you do it from an iPhone/iPad

and then it's awesome

lol kerm

Stood on what might have been a piece of glass earlier and ripped the sole of my foot open, now I'm worried I won't be able to go clubbing this week or enjoy my Europe holiday next week because it hurts so fucking much to stand on

broken glass everywhere, problems in the first world you know they just don't care

so sad that they don't have glass yet in the third world

Three stitches and told to let it rest so it heals quickly, might as well just end it now.

wanna check out the new SmashBurger that opened up, but construction on the route there makes it prohibitive to do so for lunch.

itunes/gracenote gives me this -- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/619h9L2eHcL._SS135_SL160_.jpg -- for the velvet underground's first and third albums

what came first, this thread or the reddit tag?

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/first-world-problems

-found out that FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS was not an original ILX meme, felt deflated

- have to sit in someone else's cubicle the first few hours of the day -- can't read my computer screen with the sun coming in through the skylight

Ate a hot dog and got mustard on my track ball. Track ball became hard to move around with my thumb.

BUT THEN, I swirled it around and all the dust that was caught inside it got stuck on the mustard and rotated around to the front where I was able to pick it off.

Track ball moves freely once again though the surface is still sticky.
