My trackpad just broke and the mouse is all the way downstairs and I don't want to get out of bed this late. Navigating the intratubes with a keyboard is arduous.

What are some of your first-world problems? (WoodenRat, trickybilly, no complaining about second-world problems.)

Internet connection got interrupted in the middle of a download. I had to restart my modem and then re-download the file. It took 10 more minutes than it normally would have.

Isn't it annoying when you have to paint your classroom's floor?

Don't you just hate it when your cellar gets broken into?

I`m lazy to shower and brush my teeth whole day. Such big problems. Although some of the particles that come off from my teeth taste quite good.

Internet connection drops every five seconds semi daily. Our DNS server used to disconnect just as much, and it's all the way in the basement. Our router hasn't done it as much recently, but I remember once I had to reset them at least fifteen times (no exaggeration).

Another first-world problem? Every day I walk thirty minutes to school and back.

WoodenRat, I don't think you understand the concept of first-world problems.
"When I use my iPod dock, it lights up the iPod attached to it and it's really bright when I'm trying to sleep" is an example of a first-world problem. "The collapse of the Soviet Union left my country's economy in shambles" is not, but we still feel bad for your country and hope it gets well soon.
It's a funny thread because when you put our problems in perspective they're selfish and inconsequential.

I thought the point was that when talking about these problems you realize how stupid they are and it sort of puts your life in perspective

Well yeah, that too. None of them are actually problems, more like inconveniences. I'm not that entitled.

ANYWAY, the place I work at is too warm in the winter and too cold in the summer, making it difficult to dress appropriately.

Now you're just being nonuniform with your data, unless he is working 10 hours a month in order to make those 332 dollars.


Other reasons why you are being a prick:
- My dad is away from home for more than ten hours a day on work business.
- As Lithuanian economy sucks so bad, 332 US dollars go a lot farther there than they would here.
- You have fucking internet access. You aren't that bad off.

That being said, Lithuania and other 2nd world countries obviously have greater problems then we do in first world countries. Hence this thread - to show how completely inconsequential our worries are through the use of parody. If you're all srs bznz, then it's really just a dick move.

It's like, say, if you're feeling down because of a cold and one of your friends keeps reminding you they have sickle cell anemia.

My iPhone's headphone jack won't work properly, so I have to play my music through my second iPod. If there's something not on my iPod that I need to listen to, I might have to reach two feet to the left of my bed to plug in my iPhone to my speaker system. Unfortunately that makes the YouTube video a bit smaller.
If one of my parents are borrowing my speakers I have to walk to the living room to get the iPad 2 from the charging station.
And that's like a 40 feet walk total D:

Whenever I eat apples the skin always gets in my teeth, it's so annoying.


I'm bad at this...
