Examples of firstworld problems we have, this might be edutaining. A FWP is something that might seem like a huge problem or inconvenience to us, but might be difficult for someone in, say, a poverty-stricken desert to relate to.

Examples:
*I had too much for lunch and now I’m tired
*I was filling in a form online and they didn’t put “United States” at the top of the country drop-down.
*I want to read in the bathtub but I’m afraid my book would electrocute me.
*My mom makes us clean the house BEFORE the cleaning ladies come so that they don’t think we’re dirty.
*My sweatpants keep falling down because my wallet is too heavy

The thing is… yeah, I have first world problems. And I bet some of you do too.

My problem today:

The air conditioning in my car isn’t working great so now I have to drive my other car.

Joe Rogan was podding with Anthony Bourdain a week ago and Bourdain had tweeted that “vegetarianism is a first world problem”. Interesting thought. I myself am an omnivore ( I’ll eat anything).

My current FWP after reading Oddball’s post…

A few weeks ago…

Having to cross the street due to construction on the side walk you were on…

Such a pain…

Btw, are we really still First World due to our AA+ rating? We’re below the Isle of Man now. d:

I’m obsessed with finding neat Apps for my new Android phone…just for the sake of having them.

My really stupid first world problem: Petsmart has stopped carrying the brand/ type of ball that my cat will catch. Now, instead of picking some up when I get cat food for the week, I’ll actually have to bend over and reach under the couch to find the 100 or so I probably already have.
Similarly stupid problem: the pet store has all the same costumes as last year, the year before that, and the year before that. I’ve bought all of them and now I don’t know what our dog and two cats will be for Halloween.

Someone left my remote right next to the TV. After retrieving the remote and sitting back down, I realized my Xbox controller is up there too.

I need to connect to the Steam servers in order to play Portal in offline mode.

But if I could connect to the Steam servers, I wouldn’t NEED to play Portal in offline mode.

There is a bit of a theme to this post…

  1. Waiting on Juan to show up so we can multi-hangout.
  2. Not being able to see another Hangout’s chat.
    and most importantly…
  3. Being left with headphone (cans) hair when a hangout end.

My wife put leftover pulled-pork into an empty ‘Honey Ham’ sandwich meat container, and it bugs me because it’s pig, but it’s not the right KIND.

That is very meta. I like that.

My first world problem:

Much like the starving people in Africa, I need to buy one of the Jambox wireless speakers.

I need it so my kids can play 85 decibel pop music while they skate on our backyard ice rink this winter…much like the starving people of Africa.

So here’s my problem. I don’t know which color Jambox to get. Red? Black? Gold?
I can’t decide. It’s very frustrating.
