First World Problems

[Ophbalance]

My yard lawn tractor, circa 1993, that I didn't have to purchase as it was no longer in service since my father upgraded to a MOAR PWER!!!11!!11! machine, needs tires. As in, I need to replace the tires for the first time in 20 years. The first thought going through my head was "but I wanted a wireless AC router! Damn you really old tire!".

The sun doesn't hit enough of my balcony in the evenings for me to tan after work.

This is my favorite so far

As for me I just got done watching the first two seasons of New Girl on netflix, and was gonna watch season three on ON Demand, but they don't have the whole season up there, so now I gotta wait for it to get on netflix

I have yet to find a dairy company who makes lactose free half and half. I'm tired of taking lactaid pills just to have coffee.

Have you tried using heavy whipping cream? It may be enough lower in lactose that you won't need the lactaid with it. Other than that, I'd suggest trying some of the milk alternatives out there, like rice, almond or soy milk.

*sigh* My first world problem is that taking care of a kidless house is not all that much actual work, so I get bored in the evenings after my boyfriend goes off to work.

Rofl, 1st world and 21 stone(weight) problems. I guess if you're big you can't be stylish. None of the clothing delivery services that keep peppering my fb feed(five four, trunk club, and one other name I can't recall) actually fit me. Admittedly, I'm large and oddly proportioned(my most recently fitted dress shirt is a 20 inch neck and 42 inch arms) but it's aggravating to get ads for products I can't use. Just like the local gamepiece Pizza, they aren't open for lunch yet every other advertising email I get from corporate touts lunch specials. Arrgh.

One of my coworkers and her husband are moving back up north. As such, they have been selling and giving some stuff away. She gave me an almost full bottle of Fireball and a small box of Pinot Grigio. Problem: I don't have room in the fridge for it, what with all my beer, other wine, produce, etc. Plus I share the fridge with two other guys, i.e. my roommates. But as I said, I don't have room in the fridge for these two items, and am going to have to get clever to make them fit, as either one warm is rather unappetizing.

What's your latest First World Problem?

How about storing your wine at room temperature, and then using this wine chiller from Corkcicle when you're ready to drink it?

Corkcicle also has one for beer here.

In a truely first world problem - my wife forgot I was on early shift today and gave me too much food (if I was on late I need lunch/dinner, today I only need lunch).

There you go, CIA.

There appears to be more flavors of half n half from them. :-)

I went to Wawa today. I ordered a chickensteak sandwich, no cheese, no onions, with ketchup. I got back to my office and unwrapped it and it was chicken salad instead of chopped up chicken.

[Dasota]

My first world problem is that I don't have Wawa or Sheetz locally and yet I really want Wawa.

The bread was a lot more dry than I realised - so I slightly burned it...

Only one company makes my absolute favorite flavor of ice cream properly. And they don't have any stores in this part of the country.

I can only find one coffee shop in this county that has an employee who knows how to make a proper Cafe Colada (Cuban style espresso), and it's 30 minutes to an hour away.

Sometimes it's easier to just go low tech. In this case, I simply drank and ate enough to make room for the wine in the fridge.

Now that you no longer live in south Florida, you are going to have to deal with the fact that Cuban coffee is going to be tough if not impossible to find.

On the bright side, Mexican food is going to be much better in your area overall. Unfortunately, tomatoes are highly prevalent in Mexican food, which with your allergy to tomatoes will heavily mitigate this positive side.

But I did find ONE source. And this is a thread about first world problems, so there.

You know you're an asshole, right? Just rub it in that I can't eat any of the yummy Mexican food that's so abundant in this area.

My grandmother used Pacquins hand cream her whole life. My mother used it her entire life. I've used it my entire life.

They stopped making it a little while ago.

There is, quite literally, NO lotion on Earth that works so well and is so non-greasy. I worked on a farm for 4 years and you would never it from looking at my hands. You can buy the odd jar online for insane prices (as in, hundreds of dollars).
