Just thought I would put a silly thread together based on problems we face.

I realised one first world problem I had today!

I was in the supermarket cafe and wanted to surf the internet on my phone, I then realised my phone had connected to the supermarket WiFi and it wouldn’t allow me to open any web pages up, so I had to turn off my WiFi and use my data, I then forget to turn my WiFi back on and then use up all my data!!

Anyone else got any first world problems?

I loathe having to unload my dishwasher. why can't someone invent one which unloads itself? Xmas Wink

My cleaners are going away for three weeks over Christmas meaning I will have to change my super king bed myself and iron the bedding. Sigh.

@DollyWilde that sounds seriously painful Grin.

I ran out of my favourite mascara and had to settle for using my second favourite one

My local pharmacy couldn't supply all of the items in my prescription so I've got to go back tomorrow to pick up the missing tablets.

I missed a phone call from a friend earlier as I was otherwise engaged.

Going to have to use a myriad of saucepans etc to cook tea which will result in a full dishwasher by this evening.

I stubbed my big toe on the kitchen door and it hurts a bit.

coffeemilk you should have just pinned some tinsel onto a jumper they already had

I've got to go through the clothes in my wardrobe tonight :(

My lights on my RR have a mind of their own and love full beam when on auto?!

I paid extra for the auto high-beam option on my VW Golf, and have had the benefit of using high-beam less than once a year. It's working as designed, which apparently means if there's a firefly in front of me in a distant field the high-beam won't come on, as VW don't want to blind the poor insect.

I had a massive first world crisis in M&S earlier, trying to decide which box of chocolates to buy as a christmas gift for a relative. I wanted the contents of the gastronomic collection, but in a box the size of the mixologist collection. In the end I bought a box of basic truffles, which I ended up eating on my walk home.

We're having our front porch rebuilt and the stained glass panels we've commissioned are delayed.

@matildathecat

Grin I hadn’t even noticed the typo, that’s brilliant. Not my right leg but tights leg - thankfully!

The remote for our compound gate is broken and the security doesn't open it as quickly as it usually would automatically.

yumscrumfatbum · 12/12/2018 18:12

Tesco don't sell the little stubby beers anymore and I'm too tight to buy 4 cans for the same price. So annoyed

IHeartKingThistle · 12/12/2018 18:13

I miss the stubby beers too!

DH's new company BMW has been delivered a week before the old one gets picked up. We just have too many BMWs. Grin

Howdoyoudoit31 · 12/12/2018 18:15

I can’t decide if I want to drive 10 mins to get a costa or not. So close yet so far.

yoyo1234 · 12/12/2018 18:32

Getting home, realising that you forgot to put dishwasher on and thinking do I put it on and risk having no cutlery for the evening meal.

ScottCheggJnr · 12/12/2018 18:36

Having lost my fabric steering wheel cover and the replacement being lost in post. Every time I leave car I'm having to awkwardly secure a t shirt in place with rubber bands to stop the Disklok scratching the leather wheel.

CheshireChat · 12/12/2018 18:55

Want to sit in my favourite spot on the couch, but can't as the wired Xbox controller can't reach and the wireless one is too big for my hands. So the cat has a first would problem as I've pinched her spot and is crowding me on one side and the kid has decided I'm the couch so is squashing me.

Wanted to re-read my unabridged copy of The Stand by Stephen King, but book is too huge and bulky to read comfortably in bed. Had to spend money to download onto my Kindle Paperwhite, then realized I'd likely have to do same for other huge tomes. Sigh.
