    Your first world problems

    Reading through the posts I see many first world problems. Post your's here. Today I tore my nice new expensive cycling gloves. I am distraught..............................








    Meanwhile in a Country far away a young woman tries to feed her four starving children while her husband is placed in a pile of old tyres doused in petrol and burnt alive by 'rebels'

    At my current rate of consumption my bar of jelly popping candy chocolate will only last another six minutes.

    My heart go's out to you.... Stay strong my little soldier.

    I'm constantly thinking about a vintage 5513., only after buying my 14060. My head needs looking at.

    I ironed a shirt for tomorrow, leaving the sleeves until last, as usual. I discovered a small mark on the last sleeve, which meant a time consuming rethink on the whole rig-out, followed by another chapter of ironing.

    114060 or 14060, it's a real head scratcher.

    Sometimes my dry cleaners don't press the collars on my shirts perfectly well. Just last week one of the Zegna ones was a very poor job indeed. Totally ruined my day.

    If I use both cup holders in my Mercedes it makes gear changing slightly awkward

    We pay someone to do our ironing.

    I can't iron a thing, and life is too short.

    So clever my foot fell off.

    Steve, Steve, Steve...

    Collar
    Yolk
    Sleeves
    Shoulders
    Back
    Front

    There is no other way to iron a shirt.

    Anyway... don't know which stupidly overpriced Veblen wrist-candy to go for, but I won't bore anyone with the details (again).

    The wife thinks she comes to iron, that's all that matters

    Should I buy a 46° or 48° pitching wedge?

    I keep getting emails on my mobile and that disturbs me watching TV as I have to get up and walk across the room to check it. Plus my wife puts our bottled water in the fridge in the garage, I have to walk through the kitchen past our big American fridge so I can get a simple glass of clean water. I asked her to put it in the wine fridge but she said no? What the hell kind of a world is this when a man has to walk nearly 10 meters to get a bottle of cold water?

    I have to admit I sometimes suffer some of these annoying first world problems but none of these compares to the horrendous problems that my wife faces everyday when she walks into her dressing room and announces that she has absolutely nothing to wear; how on earth she copes is beyond me :-)

    Bloody fire alarms went off last night, so stayed up off a few hours and ate continuously! Feel drained now.

    Forgot to lift my smart watch this morning so now have to manually pick up my phone to check the messages coming through as opposed to turn my wrist 45 degrees!! It's like living in the stone age! :(

    Just paid £3.50 for a coffee, I picked up brown sugar by accident. I'm now back in the office and want white sugar.

    Reminds me of Alan Partridge - "... more distance between the eggs and beans. I may want to mix them, but I want that to be my decision. Use a sausage as a breakwater..."

    Nonsense! Any first world Mercedes will be automatic.

    Sent the wife to the shop for Ice Cream, she thought she'd picked up Ben & Jerry's cookies and cream but alas it was Spoony's cookies and cream – a piss poor copy brand.

    Sunday Bloody Sunday'. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".


    Pure, pure genius!

    A piece of Egg, probably from the Egg Salad, managed to creep into my Tuna on Granary from the caterer's delivery this morning - and they didn't bring the sliced Kiwi as usual, merely Apples, Strawberries and Bananas.
    I am now terribly concerned for what tomorrow brings, as this left me both nauseous and hungry right up until this afternoon.

    Your first world problems

    The batteries in my wireless mouse have ran out. Meaning I've had to use the touchpad on my laptop. This has ruined my afternoon.

    I can't work out how to get Calendar reminders on the lock screen of my iPhone, my world is in chaos.

    This is far worse, than any poverty, starvation or pestilence.

    I could cite lots of my first world problems, but they all disappear from mind when I’m in a third world country.
