This is the place to discuss your 1st world problems. Maybe this can be a way of putting things into perspective, as there are many in the world that are less fortunate than you. I assume most, if not all, all you are somewhat well off, if you're coming on here by using a computer and having internet access.

For example,

This guy was driving 20 miles below the speed limit (which was 55mph), so
I was 15 minutes late to my class-at COLLEGE that I get to go to.

The air conditioning was broken at work today.  It was 90 degrees Fahrenheit in our work area.  It was BRUTAL

I have a stomach cramp and I'm all gassy. Maybe I should stop eating such a fiber- and protein-rich diet.

My book for a class that I'm taking this summer cost $140 dollars, what a rip off.

Wellington was late pulling the car around which forced Scarlett and I to stand in the hot sun for a full 2 minutes.  Also, the old tennis elbow flared lifting a glass of particularly old, particularly dry scotch at the country club.  If it wasn't for all the tax money the government pumps into my company I simply don't know how I'd be getting by.

My band got stuck (for the 2nd year in a row) with the last slot this past weekend at an outdoor arts festival.  By the time we were coming to the end of our set, most everyone was going home, and we actually had to end our set early.

It's a good thing to keep things in perspective, but we are also human...long as we keep ourselves level headed nothing wrong with indulging in what immediately impacts us! I am thankful to live in a first world country where I can complain:

We have a car in the shop that they won't f**king fix...pretty sure they are screwing us over and it's annoying that we're down a car. As the currently unemployed one I have to rely on others and walk to get everywhereAngry

I goddamn hate commercials. I hate that my consistent gainful employment forces me to work more hours and earn extra money so I can buy more video games and books. 

I hate it when commercials come on showing poor people in other countries being beaten and starved and dying of malnutrition and chil'ren without schooling or families or clean drinking water or hospitals. Too boring.

Stupid hospitals. I hate the police. I hate that if I get shot in the leg, I can walk to any single telephone in any house ever and press 3 magic numbers and have specially trained people find me, come to me, and take me to a wonderful land where they will fill me with prescription drugs to stop the pain and surgeries to repair the damage. That is too convenient. Jonas Salk went too far if you're askin' me.

I hate that stuff. My life is, like, awful, so, totally, gag me with a spoon, yah.

Your princess is in another castle.

I hate talking to people. It would be easier to be a hermit. But I need people to come and visit me.

If you hate talking to people, why do you want them to visit?

Nevada is such a s$%thole. All desert, though the snowy mountains are nice. Plus, I'm running out of my Millenium Scholarship money, so I really have to get my a$% in the gear and get pimped for more scholarships to pay off for the tuition and fees, which are nearly $3000 if you take 12-13 credits in a semester. Oh, and I don't have an iPhone. And yes, my router will lose connection with the modem if the power is off because they are not directly connected together in one unit. This sucks. Oh, and I get those tasteless commercials ("take your top off !") and sitcoms (The Big Bang Theory) on TV. So, I feel you, Alitare.
