[Closed] What's your first world problem?

I don't like the Enve bars which came fitted to my new bike 🙁

Music downloads with missing or incorrect ID3 tags. No need.

My Christmas tree is too bushy to fit the presents underneath.

Have to wait for Waitrose free coffee because the machine needs emptying.

My new shock for the ZX6-R isn't leaving the US due to being a restrictd item, i now have to get the money back from the seller.

DEFINITELY won this one! Upon opening my marks and sparks luxury vegetable selection I discovered that the braised red cabbage had been inadequately sealed and was mouldy. Christmas: ruined. I feinted (not really)

The price of hand-dived scallops at Leeds fish market today; fishmonger said wholesale price has been jacked up by £5/kg this week.
£22 for 12 big fat ones!

Currently coming towards the end of my engineering degree, I've got lots of useful contacts in industry from doing a placement year, but I really fancy doing a year of ski guiding/resort work when I graduate as otherwise I feel I'll regret not doing it!

This isn't helped by my brother having just landed what looks to be a fantastic ski/walk guiding job in Italy last minute!

Sainsburys didn't deliver the Port that I'd ordered for Christmas dinner, so I'll have to leave the house and mix with the proletariat in the store to go and buy some

I'm back at my tailor's next week, and I'm torn between two jacket linings.

The potential need to put Longs on now to go and get my bike out of the mancave means applying chamois cream earlier than needed, and before i put my contacts in 😕

I'd get them to fix that while you're there 🙂

Someone has hacked my favourite forum and made it worse.

This morning's breakfast Moët was corked!

Fortunately the beer fridge is well stocked with champagne, but a bit of a shame anyway.

Internet connection went down of the 23rd, won't be fixed until 27th at the earliest. Having to use my iphone as an internet hotspot until then.

Not sure if downloading minecraft on my xbox live account will cause problems for mini aracer when he wants to play it later. Should probably start a thread about that...

😐 never heard of that, generally use a decent quality cork and isn't in the bottle long enough ?

Mrs B wasn't well so could not join big family dinner last night. Watched the excellent Alan Bennet diaries instead (thanks to PSA from bikebouy)

The lid came off the bottle of hand gel I had inside my mulberry handbag... 🙁

Boiler in my Gaggia Classic has packed up on Saturday morning. Had to make do with stove top Bialetti ...... It isn't the same, no matter what anyone else says.

I'm so over-fed and beered I'm uncomfortably fat. 🙁

I missed my bus going to play poker. My better half wisely cycled. Am now in the local waiting for the next bus drinking Tennant's. Oh the shame!

My labradors always knock over my hunters when they run out of the backyard porch, but I can't put said hunters on the other side of said porch because that's where the tumble drier vent is and if left there they get soggy.

My niece's new girlfriend is much more attractive than expected.

Sydney to Hobart is going down in record time so they are due to hit the line at about midnight. For the second year running a black boat with black sails will cross the line in the dark and it's the day before the food and drink festival open so there is no party to go to first.
I'll just have to redit last years video

I had the misfortune to get a puncture on Christmas Eve . I'm currently queuing in kiwi fit with the most odious ,self-entitled humans I've encountered . To put the top hat on it ,Daniel's bakery didn't have cinamon babka.

I had my first latte made with Oatly yesterday which was great. But I know no other cafes that sell / use it.

Tesco online...

Green grocer had run out of flat leaf parsley, had to use curly leaf in Saturday's Baba Ganoush. We had friends coming over and it ruined the evening for me.

Nearly all my favourites on Ocado are out of stock.

when i plastered in the hdmi, tv aerial and power for my shiny new 65" tv i didnt remember to do a usb as well. and if i want to record to a HD direct off the tv (my missus wanted to record strictly) i have to use a powered usb HDD so theres a cable trailing from the tv. the shame. there must be a way of using the socket on the wall...

I've been thinking about changing our car. Should I buy a cheap new one or a newish 2nd hand one?

The mileage on most 3 year old cars seem high compared to our current car. 67,000 miles, but it's 12 years old and is running up some bills lately. New heater motor £300, O2 sensor £225 quid etc, etc......

Mind you, I could pay for a lot of repairs and still spend less than the cost of a replacement.

People don't properly capitalise their addresses in their paypal account, so when I import the address details from ebay to my postal services, I find myself obliged to retype all the names and postcodes. Because I, at least, have standards and I should hate to think that postmen and couriers are judging me.

Celebrities are dying! What can I do?

Stop murdering celebrities

I've got two new frames arriving at the start of January but have no idea which on to build first.
The hardtail that was ordered over six months ago but will be mainly built with bits from another bike or the full suss that was only ordered a few weeks back but is being built from the massive pile of new parts that are waiting for it to arrive.
I can't cope with all the pressure.

All the chipolatas have gone.

I forgot to get the Pont-l'Évêque out before I went for a ride. It's too cold still.

Excitedly waiting for the insurance company to get back to me regarding what I can replace my two stolen bikes with. It has been a week (during which time I received some lovely Christmas gifts, and indulged in lots of food and drink), and they have yet to get back to me.

Oh, the inconvenience and hardship!

I bought so much in the sales the bags hurt my arms carrying them home

I've run out of money to buy myself a post Christmas birthday present (my birthday is coming Sunday) as it's my wife's 40th on Wednesday and I've arranged a trip to Barcelona for us later in the year AND I need spending money for skiing on the 21st.

Honestly, my life sucks!

My new TV doesn't have the all 4 app. I have to switch to the firestick to use it.

My Dyson v6's battery doesn't last long enough for my liking.

The wifi on this laptop is bottlenecking my 200Mb broadband.

Washing machine's not spinning effectively and when you put it on the secondary spin cycle it does a rinse cycle

I've finished off all the mini [s]marathons[/s] snickers and all the other celebrations just feel like a compromise, (rakes through despondently).

I forgot to turn on my bread maker earlier, so I can't go to bed for another 15 minutes.

FWP resolved - my boots turned up all the way from the good ol' US and, surprisingly, didn't turn out to be a slice of pizza.

i bought a nice shirt in the sales and I'm wearing it today but it's cold so I've got a jumper on top of it.

I could have been wearing an old crappy shirt instead.

I can't find my 0.3mm Rotring drawing pen, so I've just had to use a 0.4mm. The results look clumsy, and lack finesse. My evening is now ruined

I've managed to make a small stain on our kitchen floor with some saffron.

My eldest Godson (11), who lives in a massive house in Abu Dhabi and goes to private school and whose parents are really quite well off was moaning about the poor quality of the dubbing on the Asterix film we were watching on a mahoosive LED TV with Bose soundbar over New Year...
His parents have done a very good job though - he knows what a First World Problem is 🙂

I share your pain, bread-machine-turning-off-brother. The number of times I end up throwing a loaf in the freezer to cool it down in a hurry...

Not been able to get Metric sized shocks off the shelf for my Patrol...

I misread that ^^^^ and was worried I'd missed out on a new metric sock sizing system!
