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?

I’ve just received the trip options for our two week holiday to Mexico. They are not as good as they were in 2015.

IHope what??? 😵

Thanks for the warning. Dr Pepper has always been one of my favourite hangover cures. Not any more 😭

ShottaSheriff definitely baby sign. Although my first problem is that we're going to miss the end of term as we're on holiday.

BlooBagoo Yep! He honestly thinks they're all the same and will just buy the cheapest, or what's on offer. So we decided to just buy our own now. It's easier that way.

I'm the only vegetarian in my office, and the mushroom arancini provided for me by our lunch caterers following a management meeting were overdone.

I failed my exam, im sure

My dentist left fragments of tooth embedded in my gum 18 months ago and told me it is fine and to go away. It's now infected my lower gum, spread to my upper jaw and I'm diabetic and unable to eat but he wouldn't see me today.

That's not a first world problem, Lil, it sounds really horrible! Hope you're better soon. Your dentist sounds a bit useless.

Mine is: I really, really want these boots on eBay, but the seller doesn't show shipping to me (not in UK), and hasn't responded to my ever so politely worded request to bid. But I wants them!

I've waited two weeks for a fabulous pair of kitten mules to come back into stock.
Parcel was delivered today, and I ripped it open like a child, only to find that they had only sent one mule Shock Waaaagggghhh!!!!

I've just checked in for my flight home from my business trip tomorrow. I've been allocated a middle seat and can't change it. I haven't sat in a middle seat for about a decade. I am DEVASTATED.

I waxed my moustache and now my top lip hurts. Also my Fitbit didn't record my slow walk so I had to go for another walk.

My tiny little dog is moulting and there is hair EVERYWHERE.

Ok, so little hairs, that makes them harder to clean up. Halo

My dishwasher has broken and I now have to wash up by hand

AnalUnicorn · 07/06/2018 22:27

I bought an M&S salad for lunch today and picked up one of their plastic forks to eat it with. However when I ate it, one of the prongs broke off the fork and made the whole eating experience unsatisfactory for me. Woe is me.

I spilt ash on my bare foot as I was trimming the wick of my scented soy candle.

I did not have the correct size of battery to replace the spent one in the remote control for my awning.
You have a remote for your awning?😍
My first world problem is I have to manually wind the thing out.** Bloody hard work!

Cakemadeoffruit · 07/06/2018 22:28

Because it's warm, the cheese filling in my Tuc cheese sandwich crackers are all squishy.

OliviaStabler · 07/06/2018 22:28

Two people talking very loudly at the gym. Couldn't hear my TV show I was watching on my Ipad through my headphones they were talking that loud Hmm

I was buying cake for a get together with friends and M&S have been playing musical fixtures with the gluten free cakes again. I wasted five minutes walking round in circles looking for it.
When I got to the get together, someone had already been to M&S and we had too much cake.

LilMadAgain · 07/06/2018 22:29

strange Thank you :) but yabu for not showing us the shoes. Show us the shoes or it didn't happen Grin

BlooBagoo · 07/06/2018 22:30

@Cellardoor23 Mine will buy it for me at least (and even knows to get the salted one for me) but because of the price he buys whichever spread is cheapest for himself. You can tell which one the kids have been using depending on if I'm complaining that it's all vanished, or if he's complaining because for some reason 10yo DD likes to use a knife to "chop" the spread in some weird way that really annoys him. Maybe that should be my revenge the next time I get toast with shite spread from him. Grin

I have a two today.

First one is that I got offered a job that I'm not sure I can do, as it's been 4 years since I did it. Low confidence is shit but we need the money but I don't want to let anyone down. This leads on to the second issue...

Second one is that my ds (2) has got a place at nursery (so I can do the above job) and they rang me to confirm his first day. Very very anxious today, I can't relax at all! Trying to put it into perspective, I never used to worry this easily pre-ds! It'll all seem ridiculous in a few years time.

My Method wood polish smeared my mirror.

I guess that's why they call it "wood polish".

Crouchendmumoftwo · 07/06/2018 22:32

My son begged me for a cuddle and a chat while Love Island was on. I yearn for the day when I can watch a whole programme uninterrupted.

Princess9891 · 07/06/2018 22:32

I've got a stinking cold and my nose will not stop running no matter what I try!
