"First World" Problems
This has been one of my latest meditations. The thread with the video of the woman tore up over people eating animals got me thinking about it again.
In a world where there is third world issues (sometimes in first world countries) like poverty, hunger, no clean water, child porn, spousal abuse, homelessness (and the list goes on and on), we have people torn up over eating animals. Really? Don't you have something more important to crusade against? So what is your latest "first world problem"? Mine: Charter Cable jerked me around for a few hours and I had to call back and ask for a supervisor to get them to do the right thing. Oh the humanity. Who's next?

p.s. I already gave my own thread 5 stars because it would be horrible is someone else started it out with only one star!

I spent $100.00 on fuel for the boat this weekend!!!! Another $100.00 of gas into the Porsche.....Almost enough to spoil my appetite over an $80.00 lunch on the patio......

They forgot the jalapenos on my sandwich today. Absolutely ruined my day!
Other, more serious one...I'm building a new state-of-the-art (kinda) classroom for a multi-year project I'm heading up for one of the alphabet agencies. Had two 60" TVs mounted on our walls a couple weeks ago. Came in to work on Thursday, and one of those TVs had decided to commit suicide by jumping off the wall. So, lost a TV and have some nice big holes in my wall to repair.

I had a similar post a few months ago about the lower half of my boat ramp having washing away. Lovey!
 One of the most seminal experiences of my life was watching a woman and her two children live off the grain droppings that fell under the ramp as men were carrying sacks of grain off a ship. I'm blessed to have seen it and lived it early in life: I gauge a lot of bravo sierra by having watched them for week. And yes, I did give them money, but I did it very early in the morning, so no one would see me, so they wouldn't get robbed. This at the request of the guy we hired to drive us around the country. "You want to help her? Don't let anyone see you do it." The privileged of being stupid seems to be on the rise.

Get off my lawn!

Today at lunch the fresh salmon filet sandwich was great but one of the strawberries that come with the side of fruit was a little soft on one side. I decided not to make a scene about one mushy strawberry. It took great restraint.

The tine on my fork wasn't the correct thickness for the meal I was having.
I think the biggest first world problem is stupidity. There doesn't seem to be as much where you have to scrounge for food.

I ordered 3 similar items from amazon, but only two of them were "Prime", so one of them took longer than two days to be delivered.

I finally find myself in total agreement with you. Cheers JB

My pool and spa heater quit, I got the wrong paint code from Coachmen for my $80,000 RV for an access door I damaged and it will cost me another $231 to get it painted the correct color, my 911 failed SMOG. I mean can it really get any worse? Oh, I've been out of town for two weeks, dog crap all over the yard!!

I'm down to only six beers out of my 24 pack...
I'd go get more, but I've been too busy studying for my license for a six figure career. Just can't catch a break. |

do you use synthetic oil in outdoor power equipment ?
Do we spend an extra $1.50 or not? So confusing.

I didn't like my meal on my business class upgrade on my flight from LA yesterday. I was outraged.
