What first world problem did you have today?

[mmntech]

I had to go shopping for suits this morning because I had too much money left in my clothing expense account for work.

Can I send you my measurements if you don't need a new suit? :\:sneaky:

Burned the roof of my mouth on first bite of a slice of pizza. Threw it all away and ordered chinese food. Italian can be dangerous.

Fires...

someone replaced the office "regular' coffee with decaf

That's blasphemy! The whole point of coffee at the office is for the caffeine!

 

[KeithTalent]

The auditors bought the really good doughnuts for us today and when I went to have my second one, all that was left was a plain one. I made sure some of my tears got on it so it was salty/sweet.

Someone would get a beating for that.
(At least a verbal beatdown..)

Teleconference til 1 pm, and the microphone pickup from the source end sucks

 

[pete6032]

I need to eat breakfast but its raining outside so I don't want to go out, but the only place to eat in my building is Starbucks and the line is going out the door at the moment.

Except no one's awake enough to do it. Check. Mate.

You know, I'm surprised that companies haven't replaced coffee with caffeine tablets.
- Much cheaper cost per mg of caffeine. 60 tablets, 200mg each, is only a few dollars.
- No spilled coffee.
- Less time spent on bathroom breaks.
- No issues with who makes the next pot.



But, people are also stupid. A 60-tablet bottle is 12 grams, which looks like it's got a good shot at being a lethal dose for me. I guess you'd have at least one case a week of someone ODing on the stuff and either going to the hospital or dying of a heart attack.
I can only tolerate about 50mg at a time. Sometimes I'll do something stupid and forget this, and get a medium iced cappuccino from Tim Hortons. 140mg of caffeine. Then strap me in, cause my heart's pounding for several hours afterward.
A whole 200mg tablet? Christ...that would not be fun.

Tim Hortons' extra large coffee has 330 grams. Nnnnope.


1) Get tort reform laws passed, though companies have found a workaround for that.
2) Company buys life insurance policies on its workers.
3) Offer free 50mg caffeine tablets at work.
4) The average stupidity of the company's surviving workforce declines, while revenue increases.
5) Life insurance companies stop offering you policies.

my free chicken parm sandwich from this catered lunch is awful.

it's like a chicken cutlet with brown gravy and a slice of mozzerela cheese. I've never experienced such a thing. I may have to run out and actually buy my own lunch.

I have a lady that makes my lunches, 3 weeks at a time, and I keep them in the freezer. I break out one with glazed salmon and, to my horror, there are fucking GREEN BEANS in it...touching my salmon...I HATE green beans.

I'm gonna cut her...

The cook in the cafeteria made my bacon, egg and cheese sandwich without cooking the eggs long enough so some of the yolks oozed out of the sandwich before I started eating it and continued to do so while I was eating it so it got on my hand. The cleaning service cleaned up all the napkins randomly lying around on my desk so I had to try to separate out one of them from the bunch I took today with the dirty hand while holding the sandwich in my other hand.

THE HUMANITY!

My 3DS' battery light is blinking red, so I can't escape my existence and lose myself into the magical realm of Hyrule until I get home to charge it.

 

[blackdogdeek]

I bought a Kindle book but don't want to carry my nexus7 and I don't like carrying a briefcase or backpack on my commute so I haven't started it yet.

 

[smackababy]

Godzilla is at an early showing tonight, however, it is cutting it real close from when I get back from the gym. I have to decided to either cut my workout short, skip the gym, or skip the movie. =(

Just do burpees at the movie.

How does that work? There's not much flavor or texture to offend the senses.

In the beans or her skin?

My $300 headphones are pinching my ears slightly.

 

[Imp]

OMFG, stop the presses: I finally managed to fit my entire right ear into the damn headphone cup. Pain and discomfort gone!

This is the first world problem thread, not the first world solution thread... get out of here with that shit.


In totally unrelated news: had to read some about some guys solution in a first world problem thread, likely derailing it into oblivion.
