What first world problem did you have today?

[HN]

Actually I'm lucky and I don't get the Asian glow at all. One of my friends is a dark half cambo/viet and he gets the glow bad lol.

pepcid is the answer.

I can't neatly wrap my burrito because of all the meat and veggies stuffed into it :|

In the last week The Technical Dept has called me 8 times about a virus on my computer.

You sure that's them and not one of those scammers calling from India?

Activated Borderlands the pre-sequel on steam, is going to visit my sister in Paris.

I was slightly inconvenienced by a 3 hour flight delay last night so I got home late. Went straight to bed instead of playing games =/

I couldn't find the manual for the breadmaker so I had to wing it. I selected the base program, but it's a semi-white meal with some corn meal and sunflower seeds in it so I'm not sure it's the best one.
Also the graduated container didn't have the notches to indicate the level with a precision of 10 ml, just 50 ml 100 ml etc., and I needed 330 ml of water. So I winged that too.

Let's hope it works out fine.

I am getting so many calls that I answer "Technical Dept we have noticed virus activity on your computer." They are often flabbergasted and unable to reply and just hang up.

Went to Costco to buy big things. The line for the $1.50 hot dog and coke combo was atrocious. I decided to go to Longhorn Steakhouse next door instead as they just opened and there was no wait. Had a $30 steak and some good beer.

I want a drink at home but I'm out of booze and don't feel like going out.

Around here Longhorn's only steak close to $30 is their porterhouse at $27. Most are $25 and under.

Things are less expensive in Florida. I lived there 17 years. Oh well.

Pay a stranger walking by your house to buy some for you... There's a chance (1% is >0%) that he/she will come back.

The alien just wouldn't fuck off in medlab, and those working joes... not even gonna go there!

My Longhorn has a steak & lobster entree and the regular price is only 25 bucks, not to mention they sometimes have specials.

But their drinks are expensive. You can get a whole bottle for the price of one cocktail.

Forgot to check my laundry in the dryer.(Whoops...2 hours later).

Had to put in 2 more quarters.(total of 30 more minutes..)

The only place open that had food and alcohol last night was Buffalo Wild Wings, when I was really in the mood for Mexican food and margaritas at like 11:30. =(

They don't really have that expensive drinks ($6-9). Most places typically charge about the price of a six pack for a single beer.

In the first world, people don't go to laundr-o-mats.

Checked a few throughout the country and most of the prices all match my local menu.

We usually end up at these while on work travel, not sure if we have a professional relationship with them like some other places or it's just what people are used too.

I tend to look for local independent eateries when I am on the road to get a taste of the town I am in. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose at that.

My first world problem was I was supposed to get a large refund yesterday...found out today they put it in as another withdrawl. Had to transfer money to checking to cover it until Monday when they can sort it out.

It's not a laudromat.(The stupid setup my apartment building has... includes coin-operated washers and dryers with laundry rooms every other floor.)

First world apts. have machines inside them.

Went to son's YMCA soccer game this morning and all games were abruptly canceled and fields were cleared after someone spotted a few lightnings over the horizon

no, that just depends on how much money you have.

 

[lxskllr]

Since gas prices have gotten so low, it's hard to put an even $100 bill in the gas tank. I'm debating now whether to get gas before I go to the store, or after. Before, and I may have to go inside for change. After, and I may run out of gas :^/

If you don't have money, you aren't living in the first world no matter your geographic location.
