First World problems

TCY Junkie · 07-08-2016, 02:27 AM

Was at Chic-fil-A and the top part of my biscuit was broken in half. By the time I was a fourth of the way through, crumbs everywhere. For 3/4 of my chicken biscuit I had to pick up the crumbs and put them back on top so I could have the correct texture of biscuit on top and bottom when it entered my mouth.

A couple weeks ago we bought a house a new neighborhood. Not far from my previous residence.

Currently suffering from buyers remorse because I learned that Amazon Prime Now does not deliver to my new zip code.

ABC, you f'ed up man.

This isn't quite in the spirit of First World Problems, but it was a First World Problem.

We were staying with some friends for the holiday. We all took the kids to a waterpark. My younger son and our friends' kid started to melt down after lunch, so we went back to their house. Mrs. A stayed with my older kid to have a little more time splashing around.

After a while, I started to wonder, where are they? Then I realized that I had taken both phones back with me. So Mrs. A was in a strange city without her phone, meaning no GPS. Then I thought to call her to find out where she was, but she didn't have her phone. They I thought to use "Where's my iPhone,' but she didn't have her phone. Then I thought to text her, but she didn't have her phone. They I thought to email her, but she didn't have her phone.

Turns out, we kind of depend on our phones.

Our neighbor watches our house and dog for us when we go out of town. A few weeks ago we were gone for ten days so he decided to also cut our lawn for us. He used a real low setting though and killed a lot of the front yard. We actually debated whether to say something to him.

I'm about 4 days into grass seed patching on a bare spot in the backyard, this morning I noticed two human footprints so I'm locking down the house until someone admits to this crime. I suspect one of my oldest daughter's friends.

I feel like most first world problems can start with "I was at a Chickfila", such as:

Some kid came to me in the play area while my kid was playing, smacking chicken, talking into my face and ear. I just sat there and played on my phone. I'm legally allowed to punch it in the face right. I mean, if not the kid, the parents for letting your kid run around and get immediately in adult's faces. The kid also put his hand on my shoulder.

He since left, came back, shoved a French fry in his mouth and talked into my face again. At no point did his parents show up and say don't talk to strangers, or be a dick.

Having to go back to wired headphones at the gym. I'm currently charging my pair before I head over, so I can avoid this devastating issue.

Clearly makes sense long term to avoid skimmers etc, but I get really annoyed waiting the 15 seconds for chip reader cards at a CVS etc. Especially because half the people can't figure out which way to put it in yet.

Buying a $14 game on Xbox that I don't like. Get mad, then realize there's probably a good portion of the world's population that doesn't make $14 in a year.

Forgot to turn the pool pump off the other day. I think the pool is too clean now.

45 years old in September and I'm buying another crotch rocket. Oh well, it's only a 300 I told the old lady.

I forgot to set the air to go on before I got home from work so my house was too warm when I got home. Had to wait an hour and a half for it to cool down to a comfortable temperature.

Oof. That's rough. My girlfriend is cold all the time. So when I stay at her place, it's borderline hot. That makes for a difficult sleeping situation.

However, firstworldsolution...we switched sides on the bed! Now I'm closest to the window and, more importantly, the fan. After trying it once, she was fine with it. So now, this seems to be how we roll.

Otherwise, I wasn't sure what I'd do.

Chic Fil A is awesome. I don't hear about guys having something in their pants for a girl coworker or stuff like so and so worried being pregnant after hooking up with someone. This is the stuff I hear at other fast food restaurants. Chic Fil A is classy, I can see why you don't like it.

That sucks.

They're putting fresh asphalt at our apartment complex and we have to park on the street until it dries.

I agree it is totally classy!
