Fourteen First World Problems That Are Just Really Annoying

Just, why?

Sue Murphy

Honestly, considering a lot of what the world goes through, we have very little to be complaining about but boy, do we like to complain. Sure, you might have kids pulling out of your legs, seven hundred jobs to do and a really annoying well paid job, but it is the little things that will send us over the edge. Here are thirteen of them.

1. The Mattress Sheet

You go to sleep in a perfectly made bed, but wake up in the morning in a heap of bed clothes. How did it come free from the mattress? Why did it come free from the mattress?? DAY RUINED.

2. The Drop of Milk in the Fridge

It was a terrible day, you arrive home and all you can think about is that cup of tea. You put on the kettle, you smell the aroma of the teabag and you head for the fridge and open the milk carton. The empty milk carton. The empty milk carton in an incredibly well-stocked fridge. But that doesn’t matter… You’ve seen red now. Life is not worth living.

3. You forgot to tape your TV show

You had to go to that work thing in the evening, but you’re not too worried about missing your favourite show because you have… oh god, you forgot to tape it.

4. No Free Wi-Fi

Out for the day, it should have been a great day but you have used up all your allowance for internet and now you can’t find any free Wi-Fi. They ALL require a password.

5. Your iPod, iPhone, iPad battery

You don’t understand! It’s dead and I can’t listen to my favourite song!

6. My fake nails keep getting caught in everything

Sure, they look amazing, but it’s really hard to type in this really lavish office I work in.

7. Too many events

Dear Lord, I have a wedding this weekend, and we’re going on holiday the weekend after, and then there’s that birthday party. It’s just too much.

8. You bought a chocolate pastry, but it wasn’t chocolate…

What the hell is this raspberry thing?

9. The pizza place won’t deliver

Sure, you only live two doors away but they say they deliver. Liars

10. I can’t find the food they’re advertising on television

I WANT that chocolate covered Mikado biscuit. WHERE IS IT?

11. I can’t find an Irish pub

…in this beautiful Greek village where I am staying for two weeks. In the sunshine.

12. Also, it’s too hot

In this beautiful Greek village where I am staying for two weeks.

13. I have no change for the bus.

I just have this one hundred euro note. So annoying.

14. There’s no chocolate in the Cornetto

But you don’t find out until the end. Devastating.
