As I laughed at myself while posting to Facebook and Twitter last week about the inconvenience I faced due to the battery in my car key pad being out, I started to think about all the #FirstWorldProblems we “endure” day in and day out here in the US. You know, things that aggravate us when they don’t work or force us to live the uncivilized life – like actually inserting the car key into the lock on the door in order to lock and unlock the car?
I know the list is truly endless, but here are the most frequent #FirstWorldProblems I suffer through:
- Needing to periodically clean out my stinky high-efficiency washing machine.
- When the Internet goes down.
- When my website goes down.
- When Craig doesn’t set the coffee to brew ahead of time, and I need to wait for it to brew after getting out of bed.
- Enjoying the ease of a push-button start in Craig’s car, then driving my car that requires me to actually insert a car key and turn my wrist to start the engine.
- Watching live TV.
- When my iPhone starts to slow down because I have too many photo and video files on it, and I’m forced to transfer those files to my cloud storage system AND delete them off my smart phone.
- No restaurants that deliver breakfast to my front door.
- Searching for the remote control.
- Uncomfortable hotel pillows.
- Forgetting my smart phone at home.
- Flight delays.
- Buying a new toothbrush and finding it’s too fat to fit into my toothbrush holder.
- Remembering all the passwords to my online accounts.
- Having to wait for a teller because the ATM is down.
- Having too much house to keep clean.
- Finagling the front door open after the dry cleaners’ delivery guy has hung the freshly-cleaned and pressed clothes from our front door knob.
So there’s my top list of #FirstWorldProblems. I’m sure you have your own. In what ways do you suffer day in and day out?

Just thought of one two seconds before reading this: Having to pick up before the cleaning ladies come.
Oh, that’s the WORST!
I know, right?
I hate you for having dry cleaning delivery. Driving over there is the WORST.
Oh, also, first world problem that affects pretty much everyone: having to spell things correctly.
I just had to look up centrifugal and it almost killed me.
Having to actually put the laundry away after my high efficiency washer and dryer have cleaned and dried it for me.
I complained once that we had so much food in the fridge after a grocery run, that it was irritating to have to move things around to get what I needed.
Oh and just now…my fingernails are too long to accurately type on my iPhone.
I had to laugh at “buying a toothbrush too fat to fit in the toothbrush holder” because OMG yes!
I can relate to the rest of these, too. We really are a society of over-privileged assholes, aren’t we?
When my favorite workout pants aren’t clean! AHHHH!
;-P
Oh I am so with you! Sometimes I catch myself complaining and think just that #firstworldproblems
Now I have a question for you! My washer stinks! LOL How do you clean out those HE washers?
