What first world problem did you have today?

[stargazr]

What did you get? I just picked up an old ludwig acrolite. Probably the best $80 I've ever spent on a snare. Highly recommended. :thumbsup:

That's a great drum. I still have one of those.

It's so damn bright today (10" of snow yesterday, Alabama, we hardly ever even get a dusting) that I'm sitting inside my house with my sunglasses on so I don't get a massive migraine.

I broke my RayBan's the other day and I feel like I've been blinded ever since because everything is white.

Scratched my Polarized Revo's the other day. Still pissed off. It's not a deep scratch, but it's pretty long. I tried the toothpaste AND baking soda/water scratch remover method with no luck. Might have to blow $20 on a tube of some magic scratch repair shit. :'(

You guys are lucky. I can't even wear sunglasses as a general rule; I wear glasses already, so sunglasses would require a prescription and I'd need to walk around with two pairs of glasses on me (which is absurd). I won't wear contacts because I have no interest in poking myself in my own eyes every day and I won't let someone chop up my eyeballs with lasers unless I can be assured that the operation is being performed by a qualified Jedi. So I'm pretty much SOL on the sunglasses front, unless I decide to fully embrace my inner douche and get transition lenses, which, no. Fortunately I live in a city that experiences sun about as frequently as Keith Richards experiences sobriety, so it's a relatively minor issue.

My fancy ice trays are too big to fit in my stainless steel side-by-side freezer and the built in ice machine isnt fast enough to service my 24 pack of lukewarm Coke, which will take a whole hour to chill in my nice refrigerator.

Pull out a single can/bottle, wrap it in a damp paper towel and stick it in the freezer. It'll be cold enough to drink in 15 minutes or so. That should keep you covered until the rest can get chilled in the fridge.

Mine are prescription sunglasses. I got them last year when I went for a checkup for the first time in a long while. It's inconvenient and I wanted to get new lenses, preferably transitions for my existing glasses but the consensus was that my frames were old enough that nobody would dare touch them for risk of breaking them. So I got a pair intended mostly for driving since that's where I get the majority of my eye strain issues which ends up leading to migraines after a while (bright sunlight is a trigger for me).

yeah I did that trick for the first one. But I still need my cubes of water.

I am required to wear my prescription glasses to drive. When I had a motorcycle as my exclusive transportation, it was hell.

When you ride into the sun you can't even flip down a shade like you can in the car. You have to move your head so that the sun is just outside the edge of your helmet's viewport, which is often pretty extreme because helmets do not significantly limit your view. I did eventually upgrade to a fancy one with a flip-down shaded visor, but it still doesn't help when riding directly into the sun and I still have trouble.

Swappable face shields are just asking to get scratched, cracked, lost, etc, leaving you stuck at night with the wrong shield and scrambling for an expensive replacement (been there several times). The helmets advertising convenient shield changes neglect to mention that their mechanisms are fragile and fail fast when you actually use them daily.

Heck, even just getting my glasses on with a full-face helmet (the only kind anyone should be using) can be problematic. My main helmet for years had a slight gap between the removable padding for your cheeks and the pad for your head and that gap was right there at the temples, slightly above where the glasses are supposed to run. If you run the glasses back high enough for the bent part to go over your ears, you will find that you can't lower them all the way to your nose/ears because they slot right into that gap where they will rest while suspended. You have to put them on diagonally with the lenses below your nose and then rotate them over the ears as you bring the bridge up to your nose. Doing this several times a day every day is such a pain!

they make me capture spiders and bugs and release them outside I am for the most part safe unless I take away their activities. I asked them if they thought they were doing too much stuff this winter and summer is only gonna add in the shit they want to do. The crazy thing is they have picked all the stuff they do. Yesterday one asked me who is gonna take us to gymnastics dad?


now the wife on the other hand may consider euthenasia for me soon lol

I tried to record a trade into my tax info form but can't because I need the exchange rate on the trade settlement day, which is three business days away.

First world trouble this morning includes working up the will power to take a shower and go to a nice restaurant. Laziness is a bitch.

My camera ran out of juice in the middle of shooting something, so now I'm taking a break while it recharges.
