First World Problems

This is where we can bitch about stupid stuff that annoys us, that we're lucky enough to have annoy us!

I like to eat while I play on my phone, and now my screen is all greasy :S

My work building has a Starbucks inside, but they don't accept the reward card. I don't want to lose my gold status so I have to go to the drive thru one on my way to work.

We're renovating our master bath, and had intended to remove the wall from one side of our shower & have 2 glass walls. There's a vent pipe in there! And the effort/cost to move it isn't worth it. So we have to put up a new wall and it changes the look. At least we can put in a window.

Andplusalso now we need additional time for that wall. And our tile is completely out of stock, and in production at the manufacturer. Won't be ready for another month. UUuuuuugh!! I just want my fancy bathroom!

My husband purchased a photo shoot for me and my baby and lined up a babysitter and movie tickets for a date night, all as my Mother's Day gift. We were supposed to do it all today. Instead, my daughter woke up vomiting and I got to frantically bath her, wash her clothes, grocery shop, and keep her occupied, while my husband went and got a hair cut, took a two hour nap, and decided he was going to work on a house project. there are many things worse than missing a photo shoot and a nice dinner and movie, but come on I was excited for Pitch Perfect 2!

I keep wanting to contribute but can't come up with anything since it started lol. Is that a first world problem in itself? Lol

My kids have too many toys, but when ever I try to get rid of any of them all the sudden that exact toy is a favorite.

Talltrees82 · May 2015

Ha ha @BADASBKRCK that is a problem for sure!

manders803 · May 2015

The best I could come up with is that Starbucks got it order wrong and I didn't realize it until I got home.

My office is moving and now the chipotle will be 10 minutes away instead of in the next parking lot :-(

I have been trying to find a new mailbox that I like for weeks. Why is it so hard to spend my money?!

ME TOO!! The closest I've come to what I want is at Crate & Barrel, but it's not perfect.

DH thinks I'm nuts - it's just a mailbox. But the ones I see are cheap and ugly. I want to spend MORE!

Have you looked around for a place that can custom make one for you? I'm sure there are some online even. Good luck!

Same here, haven't been able to find one with everything I'm looking for. Good luck in your search!

I ate too many crawfish. So. Bloated.

BeckyF82 · May 2015

We have two full size refrigerators and I still can't fit in all the food we bought this week.

ScotchAggie · May 2015

We want to Chicago for what was supposed to be my only "vacation" all year. But we got rained out of the zoo, and my husband got sick after eating so much crap that we didn't go to the Cubs game, which was pretty much the impetus of going. DH spent all day in bed while I got to chase after our kid, feed our kid...ya, it was NOT the vacation of my dreams. LOL.

AmberLiz99 · May 2015

Dh and ds are going to a father and son campout tomorrow night, so it will just be dd and me, and she goes to bed at 7:30. I'm excited for a night to myself, but I'm bummed that I can't think of a good movie to watch.

That might be a winner for "first world problems"

BADASBKRCK · May 2015

My first world problem, the economy and job market have improved so much now that we are having a hard time filling the two positions we desperately need at work. I am already crazy stressed out and it has only been a week since we lost 3employees at once! But on the plus side, I should start losing weight soon..my fitbit has been measuring 10,000 steps before I have even reached the end of the workday and I don't have much free time to eat as much.

BADASBKRCK · May 2015

Oh, my other problem and its a long one but I'm dying to get it off my chest. My credit sucks, we have been trying to rebuild but it takes time and there are some things there that I don't know how to handle. In steps my Dad to help me with it, for which I am grateful. We will need a new car in august because mine won't pass inspection without repairs costing more than the car is worth. A local reputable dealer is having a big sale where they have lenders willing to accept crappy credit which is very rare for them. They have a 2013 Hyundai elantra with 22k miles in a manual transmission (which is what I want and getting hard to find) and the salesman pulled some favors and managed to get me an interest rate 1/2 of what I can expect with my credit score and payments are within our range. This isn't my dream car but its tolerable and everything is working out better than I could have dreamed. I have until tomorrow to decide and do it or keep working on my credit and wait until august when I may be no better off and unable to get the same opportunity I have now. My dad is completely against me doing this and even though I'm a 35 year old woman I am finding it hard to make a decision he won't agree with. Argh! Thanks for listening.

BADASBKRCK · May 2015

Ps- holy run on sentences batman.

Sporty1216 · May 2015

That's a tough one, @BADASBKRCK ! Good luck with your decision. And, yes. So hard to do things dad or mom don't agree with. Even as a fully grown adult. I struggle with that too.

Talltrees82 · May 2015

I've lost ten lbs this past month and had to buy new shorts and jeans this week. Definitely not complaining about the weight loss, just the money I have to spend replacing wardrobe items that are perfectly fine except for their size!

Not sure if @aprilmay9 is still around, but I really want to thank you for introducing me to dietbet and starting the A14 Fatties back in November 2014... I lost that one, but got hooked on Dietbet and have entered and won four bets after that for a total of 24 lbs lost since January 2015. I'm proud of myself for all the effort I've put in! Thanks so much for getting my butt in gear!
