What first world problem did you have today?

Left my earmuffs in the car last night + Left my house this morning without my car keys = me walking by my car spotting my ear muffs but not being able to get them out. I was too lazy to go back to the house so I continued walking to the train stop. My ears were freezing cold.

I wrote a very detailed email to customer service and asked a simple question that I essentially already knew the answer to from googling... They fucking tell me to call them. Then why the fuck do you have an email address? This shit is legally admissible in a court. Why couldn't you write back or ask a god damn question if you needed more info?

had a $25 gift card to a grocery store.
bought $24 worth of stuff, thinking the 6% state sales tax would take care of the rest.

nope. for groceries, the sales tax is only 2.5%.
so I have $0.40 left on the gift card.

I threw it away anyway.
maybe I should have just given it to the person behind me to use?

oh well..

My snow blower keeps backfiring and staling as soon as it starts to process any decent amount of snow. I shoveled about 1cm worth of snow in the middle of my driveway so I can snow blow it in the yard and it kept stalling. Ended up having to do it by hand.

My garage is not heated so it would be very hard and uncomfortable to work on. Might have to try to find a servicing place that can pick it up.

Ugh that stuff pisses me off, it's almost as bad as stores that don't put prices on their website. Why the hell even bother trying to sell stuff if you can't at least let people see prices?

Our Christmas tree is still up. No matter how many times a day I look at it, it seems to still be there the next day.

I'm not allowed to even think about taking ours down until March.

Made some girl mad because I deleted her from my facebook friends list.

Now they can say they have a "web presence"...

Anyway, called the dude, confirmed everything I assumed.

Ah, ran into that last year - blew out just after a snowstorm, soooooo cold! Upshot is my broken furnace was like 50% efficient & the new one is 80%, so it should save some bucks long-term.

You definitely will. With my old furnace I had to have a 500 gallon underground oil tank. With the new one, I can go most of the winter with a 275 gallon indoor tank. I fill it maybe twice per year. Once about a month or two after the heating season starts and again about a month or two before it ends.

The Wii U tablet turned on on its own to shamelessly plug an upcoming Nintendo game while I'm trying to watch a movie. Had to google how to disable it and fool around for five whole minutes by the time everything was sad and done. Fucking Nintendo. I have to move the tablet 50ft away as it is just to have it turn off and not use the battery while I game on the fucking pro controller because they won't let me just game with the tablet off.

lol that scares the crap out of me every time it happens. I don't play the Wii a lot, but sometimes it just happens to do it when I'm near it. It makes a sound too.

First time I turned on the U, I went into settings and disabled all that crap. By default the Wii U is just a glorified cash register. That YOU have to pay for. Makes me wonder about the name.

And have you seen the Xbone? Holy crap! I feel ripped off. They should give those things away for free considering all the sales they try to push thru it.

I hate what modern game consoles have become really. I'm not a big gamer but to me the NES and SNES are the gold standard of what a console should be. A stand alone gaming device that you plug in, and it just works. No stupid account BS, no updates, no trying to sell you DLC - it just plain works.

Consoles now are basically just glorified computers with proprietary OSes.

My old 47" 1080P died in the front room, sorting through a good comparable 50-55" 4K UHD for a replacement with Roku for $500 bucks.

My brother just bought a game, was super excited to play it, and had to wait for 45 GIGS of updates to download before he could even start playing

Just had a piece of fruitcake with brandy butter, and dropped some on my shirt like a child :^S

Yo genius, that tree ain't going anywhere until she gets the Christmas gift she deserves.

It's 48F now and suppose to be 54F, but it's breezy. I hate the wind. It's like God farting on you constantly and I fucking hate it!

from my browsing experience it's usually companies that are used to making quotes when they receive requests rather than selling stuff like a supermarket.

 

[louis redfoot]

first time reheating pizza with a pan (instead of nuking)... all these years!!!

 

[John Connor]

When I see products that request a quote on, I know it's gonna cost a pretty penny and I just skip right by it and do my research to get an indication on how much that particular item costs.

Just saw a great quality dashcam video from a Garmin cam. So, I found the dashcam I want but have no car to put it in because I don't drive anymore.
