Mine is that one of my Tesco Chicken Caesar wraps had NO Caesar dressing on it!!! While the other one had obscene amounts on it. Per MN rules I'm not simply livid, but Beyond Livid about this.

So what's Your First World Problem Today?

And I want to get the hot tub sorted, but I just don't have them time!

No Gogglebox on tonight. Opened wine, settled down, not on. Bit upset.

My Scentbird perfume subscription was delayed and won't be delivered until monday, when it was due today.

When I am stressed I often growl "I just want cake. Give me cake". This week has been rough, and my nice coworker thought to bring me a treat. She brought me tiramisu. I didn't want tiramisu. I want cake. Tiramisu is not-cake.

I have said thank you and been properly grateful. I am not a barbarian.

And I'm eating the not-cake.

My first world problem is that I keep on dropping ketchup and mayonnaise on my top whilst I’m trying to eat chips. I don’t want to ruin my top, but I can’t help but feel I’m a fucking W rancid arsehole. I may have had a few drinks, but that’s not the point.chips should be good, not staining.geeereeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Someone opened the window on the bus and a man on the train didn't keep his elbows to himself sitting next to me...

"I missed a water bill in April and the authorities have cut my water off. Paid the bill pronto but won't be reconnected until the morning."

I had that problem once; it was on my birthday too. The bastards actually wanted me to bring a cheque down in person before they would turn it back on. I was like "It's 2014, not the 80's."

"I'm having terrible trouble choosing fabric for new blinds and curtains in the living room."

That's rough, stay strong. Flowers

"My mango was slightly too ripe."

Oh I've been there before, except they were blackberries. Sad

"I didn’t get a shiny Ho-oh."

I literally have no idea what that means.

"When I went in to feed next door's cat, she didn’t want any lap time. I was quite affronted."

It's important to remember that cats are in charge in all worlds. We're just here to serve them. Grin

I had to order more food than I wanted in the pub because they only take card payments over £10 and everybody was too polite to let me buy a round.

We had to wait well over an hour from ordering our dominos until it turning up. We ordered at 8.45, it didn't turn up till half 9ish. We were very hungry as had nothing else all day. However it was more than worth the wait.

I'm knackered all the time in 2nd tri pregnancy and I'm in the bath which has been below par because I am out of lush bath bombs/bubbleroons.

And now it's all tepid but I just can't be ARSED to lever myself all the way out, dry myself, find pajamas and insert myself in bed. I may die here.

pandarific · 08/06/2018 22:42

ALSO I can turn the hot water tap with my foot but the tap is pointy shaped and hurts my foot. Angry

I had to drink my coffee really quickly (and didn't even finish it) because you are not allowed drinks in the Lemur enclosure.

My baby's avocado just won't ripen.

I've spent this best part of this evening trying to get my teen's phone to show up on Find My IPhone. It's been very stressful Sad

Try placing some bananas or tomatoes next to or around the avocado.

We have a mid week break booked at Center Parcs. An unavoidable appointment has arisen that I need to attend on the Tuesday lunch time. I can't make up my mind whether or not to still go to CP on the Monday, drive back for the appointment on the Tuesday then back to CP afterward - an hour and ten minutes drive - or just wait a day thus missing one day of our mid week break. WWYD?

Got offered an amazing new job out of nowhere and have to cancel a holiday to New York. Boo boo!

Realised I couldn't remember the last time the window cleaner had come round... it was getting scarily close to the point where I was considering cleaning the windows myself shudder

Thankfully he must've read my mind cause the windows were sparkling when I got home from work today! Grin

I've run out of cider flavour lolly ices. Sad
