What’s your first world problem today?

[Sulking]

I need to read some other people’s first world problems so I feel better about myself 🤣

Mine is that this is the first year in 12 years we haven’t been able to afford to go on our yearly few nights away. We usually do 4 nights in Cornwall, we’ve gone at least once a year since I was a child and now I’ve carried it on for my own kids; but the rise in prices in bills, childcare and food has left us pretty breadline now and we just cannot afford to go away. I know how it sounds too, it’s soooo trivial and ‘woe is me’ but I can’t help but feel sad.. no holiday for us! 🤣

so please tell me your trivial issues today!

You obviously need a new house to match your cushion. Simples

People who don’t display blue badges in marked parking bays. Perhaps they don’t recognise the symbol, and can’t read the signs.

😂, like your thinking.

My nose has been leaking two streams of snot since Christmas Eve. If my hands are busy so I can't constantly wipe and blow it the snot runs down to my top lip, all it needs is some ice cream and sand to do a perfect imitation of a toddler in a sand pit. My temperature is usually 36.5 but it has been between 38 and 39 since I first remembered to test on Christmas day. I feel like crap, carefully timing the lemsip/paracetamol/cold and flu capsules and eagerly anticipating the next dose, but I'm up and moving around so it's a very mild dose of the flu compared to what a lot of people are experiencing. Perhaps because I took the vaccine when offered in October?
Very 1st world problem to sit in a cosy, centrally heated house, with plenty of food and a stock of cold remedies, and bemoan a touch of the flu, but my inner resources seem to crumble just when I need them to help me rise above these rather pathetic earthly tribulations.

I caught the dog’s water bowl with my slipper as I was walking past it and cold water poured right in between my foot and the sole. I could only find one of my slipper socks and it’s too cold to have bare feet. So I’m walking around very lopsided but at least my feet are warm.
