What's your first world problem moan?

I'm hot and bothered and the fan is overstimulating me. So I thought I'd start a place for silly minor moans. I'll start first:

  • The air con unit is lovely but too noisy to sleep with it on and the room heats up too quickly when I turn it off. And it's too heavy to move downstairs for wfh.
  • I've cancelled the cleaner as it's too hot to move but now I'll have to hoover or live with crummy floors
  • My 12yo keeps finishing my sparkling water and not putting a new bottle in the fridge.

What are your silly first world problems?

The air con in the office is set to frigid. Half the team are sitting in fleece jackets. Hottest day of the year and my hands are actually cold 🥶.

I was also going to say that the portable air con is too loud 😂

Amazon are out of spicy V8 juice 🥲🥲

I was going to say “i don’t have aircon”

DH bought thick-sliced bread this morning instead of medium. Short-dated too.

I need my hair cut and I have no idea what. It's too long in this heat

Sunnyyetnotsunny · 24/06/2026 15:27

My cornetto melted bit too quickly😕 ruins the expected lenght of enjoyment

I am the recipient of too much information about my housekeeper's gynaecological issues

I’ve had mine up in a pineapple (pony tail on top of head) all day, which has certainly kept me cooler than I would have been.

I don’t have a housekeeper 😀

We’re on holiday, the only charging cable I packed is 5m long, this will be a pain when we need to use a charging block during the day. I refuse to buy a new one as I’m the only one who packed one, my husband thinks it will be fine, so hes now in charge of charging on the go.

My eggs at breakfast was too firm.

I can't tell you how jealous I am!

Ah man I haven't had one of those in YEARS!! Are they as full of gooey caramel as they used to be?

The caramel is definitely scrimpy now, a thin strip down the middle. But they are still amazing!

Same as everything going down hill nowadays! I used to love those as a child and swear they were almost flowing with caramel when bitten into 😋

Mine is…tv shows that make me wait for weekly episodes. You’ve filmed them all so put them all on. ANNOYING!

And flying into terminal C in Orlando…I’ve just flown 4300 miles, why are you now making me walk the last one to get my bags

frozendaisy · 25/06/2026 15:45

That my rose wine won't be delivered until at least 9pm because I wouldn't book a supermarket delivery until it was cooler today

So I might have to muddle by with a gin &slim with a slice of lime later

oh poor poor woe is me

We quite like the one a week thing again
It nicely paces us!

My freezer is full of ice cream so no space to freeze bread leftovers and I feel too tired to eat bread.

I've heard some airports do this so the bags come out as you arrive at the carousel or people complain they take too long.
