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?

Not a 1st world problem, very random and very outing. I was driving past a field today and noticed a baby cow with it's head half out of the fence, a big cow was headbutting it on the bum, I thought maybe it was stuck and the big one was helping, next thing in my rear view mirror, the baby cow does a forward roll out of the fence and into the road!
I didn't know if I should stop but I was going in the opposite direction and what can I do with a baby cow?

My usual locally baked sourdough loaf wasn't available today.

I boiled the kettle 5 times for a cup of tea but kept being distracted by my children before I could actually make it

Then I finally got the water in the cup but 15 mins later it was stewed. Then finally I made another cup and it went cold. I reheated in microwave and it went cold again.

I waited until they went to bed 7 hours later

Oh have another one, went to Creams 20 minutes before closing and they'd only let us takeaway no dine in.

I bought my car on a 3 year pcp deal, and 5 months in I'm bored of it.

I went to the cinema for the live opera transmission from the Paris opera and there was no interval, so they weren't selling any sandwiches and I was starving.

The nearest place I can buy my much loved Bulletproof coffee is ten minutes walk away from my office, and it's not as hot as I like when I get back to my desk Confused

I got a parking ticket in the post yesterday for parking 30 minutes over the allowed time when I was taken out for lunch for my birthday last month. Sad

We’ve run out of the lovely Waitrose granola I like, I had to make do with museli. I wanted granola and yoghurt...

The friend I’m meeting for coffee later will want to go to Costa and I’ll want to go to a local independent because their coffee is so much nicer, I will be polite and agree with her suggestion but inwardly seethe.

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

We're getting a Chinese takeaway tonight, DP and I always share our dishes. I've been told I'm not allowed Singapore noodles because I get them every time too much and he wants a change. I can't think of anything else I fancy Sad

My house is too big to clean, to many rooms, it's going to take me ages

namaste86 · 08/06/2018 07:49

My homemade yoghurt hasn't set, after I so lovingly made strawberry compote to add to it. I'm going to have to pick up more UHT later to start again.

Woe is me.

Went to get some Waitrose Expresso Gelato from the freezer to discover someone has put an empty container of it in the freezer. Had to slum it and eat Ben and Jerry's (which was actually loads nicer) - now there is no Ben and Jerry's left so put the empty container back in freezer. 1st world revenge.

My washing machine isn't going to finish before I have to leave for playgroup so the washing will have to sit there for a while ... But in other news I found out an hour before leaving work yesterday that my manager wasn't expecting me in today (may be his error) so I've got a bonus day off and can take DD to playgroup

Squirrel26 · 08/06/2018 08:13

The council have only cut half of the grass on the verge outside my house. It looks untidy. Also my dishwasher is leaking so I have to do my own washing up.

Also I cannot ride my own horse this evening. I have to ride a DIFFERENT horse. Angry

My dog is getting old and can't see the crumbs on the floor after the kids have eaten breakfast so now I have to clean them up myself (with a vacuum)

petrolpump28 · 08/06/2018 08:36

profoundly depressing

marcopront · 08/06/2018 08:44

My cleaner has gone to a wedding and so I have to do my own washing up and washing. The floor will be really dusty by the time she gets back. And it is monsoon so things will take ages to dry.

The man who delivered my pancakes didn't bring the cappuccino so I had to wait for that.

Neverender · 08/06/2018 08:51

I have run out of those gorgeous mini kitkats...weep!

Squirrel26 · 08/06/2018 09:26

My milk in the work fridge has gone off. I have no coffee until I can be bothered to go downstairs to buy more.

usernotfound0000 · 08/06/2018 09:27

The new car we just bought only has a massage function on the front seats and aren't heated as well like I thought they were.

LemonysSnicket · 08/06/2018 09:28

I only have an hour and a half to get home from work, get ready and meet friends for a big night out but I'm so not feeling it

IShouldntPostBut · 08/06/2018 11:28

Got dressed for work this morning. Was walking out of the bedroom when I realized I had not put on my shoes. I had to stop, retrace three steps, and sit down to put them on!

I didn't have a hairband with me for swimming today.
