What third world problem did you have today?

[SSSnail]

Since I'm told by a lot of people that the US is heading to a third world country status, and soon, I thought that you folks would then run into third world problems in this country regularly. That's unless you're actually living in a third world country.

For me, potholes and poor road surface conditions. You'd think living in one of the largest city in the US, I shouldn't be facing this type of problem, right? But you'd be wrong.

Potholes. (But it was in a parking lot, so it was the property owners' fault, not the city's.)

Unreliable power delivery (to my Roomba) resulting in a lack of sanitation (dirty carpets.)

Rising energy costs. ($3.70 for premium?!)

Access to food was spotty. (Big lines at Costco, and the Arby's drivethrough was packed so I had to go to Taco Bell.)

You know... I'm not sure this thread is going to work...

I was not able to gain access to necessary pharmaceuticals.

I just got home from work a few minutes ago and it turns out my wife has been kidnapped and my house burned down by warlords.

My cousin is dying of dysentery because he can't afford to purchase a bar of soap.

ROFL #thirdworldproblems

"Potholes" is a first-world problem, you whiny little priss.

No, first world countries are not supposed to have potholes, not when the citizens paid taxes to have said holes fixed.

Exactly.

The first rule when creating these stupid polls is that the OP should at least understand the premise of the damned thing.

Oh hey look, I got a stalker. A stupid one at that.

LOL at all the whiners on this forum. Ever been to real thirld world country? I've been living in one, for the past 20 years.

Roads(not all) are like swamps in a forest.
Daily power cuts for 4-6 hours.
Total lawlessness. Police are too lazy, corrupt and inefficient. People have to watch out for themselves.
Air Pollution. can't step out without covering yourself from head to toe like a fucking mummy.
Politicians steal taxpayers money.

I could go on and on.. but whats the point. You people should be grateful for what you have, instead of whining about it all the time.

I helped a baby bird that fell from it's nest. It was chilling under a car, was worried it would get run over so I moved it to a nearby shrub.

Sounds like America

 

[Carson Dyle]

Oh, c'mon. ALL the replies can't be as side-splitting hilarious as the ones above.

 

[SlitheryDee]

My baby sister starved to death yesterday. It's really too bad because right after that mom found some meat to cook for the family. Tasted kind of funny...

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Drove on an unpaved road. Granted there was an oyster farm on the other side where I then spent numerous American dollars.
