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?

These are soooo first world…I love it!

I can now add my 8yo left my box of carefully frozen and collated ice cubes out on the side and now I need to start from scratch.

And I've eaten so many ice lollies I've run out.

Bought a box of Feast lollies this morning and they're nothing like I remember - no big chunk of chocolate in the middle. I'm very disappointed

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.

They’re supposed to be putting in moving walkways, but it has been open for a couple of years now and still nothing. I just take it as my pre-Disney warm up lol. Get my steps in early.

but seriously though, by the time I get to the bags and customs I’m frustrated. This time I’m with Virgin, BA land on the last gate in the terminal, I’m hoping for a closer one this time, nobody needs to get a mile in before they leave the airport lol

I can't tell you how jealous I am!

I actually put trousers and a linen shirt on to come into work today as I was just too cold in a dress! Typically the aircon is far more reasonable today.

So my new first world problem is that I’m doing well on my diet but miserable that I can’t have a few cocktails in the sun this evening as I’d rather food.

I stayed in a hotel last night and didn’t eat dinner yesterday because it was too hot to go out to a restaurant. I was really looking forward to my breakfast this morning because I was ravenous! As it was there was it was only a continental breakfast and I’m coeliac so I had one slice of ham and a boiled egg, which was about the sum of what I was allowed to eat. Fourteen quid. I’ve been smarting all day.

I can’t fit any more stuff in the fridge or freezer and I want to put more bottles of water in to cool down. It’s like jenga every time you want to get something out.

I lost my dog's muzzle and drove to the closest place with a decent selection. Spent 30 minutes each way with him overheating.
When we got back, my DH proudly showed me the one he had 'found' where I had left it.
He had given it a clean.
Gearing up for our monster across Spain drive before we get the ferry and he wears the bloody muzzle for about 2 minutes

My dogs still insist on either sitting curled up to us or squidged behind me.
I put cooling scarves on.them, especially idiot fox terrier who insists on sitting in the window in the morning sun. These fell off on the sofa and id been sitting on them. I went to the shops looking like I peed myself.
My plantar faciaitis flared up so ive got orthotics. This means I can't wear sandals.
