Inspired by James and the great toilet seat debate, what are some first world problems that you may have complained about?

I'll start. I think this is a good exercise in being grateful for the "problems" we have.

1. This morning after pouring myself a bowl of cereal, I realized I was out of milk. I had to pour all of the cereal back into the bag. What a waste of time!

2. It takes me 20 minutes of riding the air conditioned bus for me to get home from work every day! Such a long commute, and sometimes I forget to charge the battery on my iPod Touch so I have no videos to watch.

1) I can't text (much) on the subway - no cell phone signal. Oh, WOE is me!

2) My "Things" are taking over the house. I'm running out of space to put all my clothes!

3) I have an ipad waiting for me...that I am getting for free/discount...in a delivery box in CA at a dear friend's home. Only she pretty much lives in China now.

Oh yeah, I'm suffering all right.

My program can't write my files directly to the server, so I have to manually copy and paste them myself

. It takes up almost 30 seconds every month!

Also, my book ran out of batteries the other day

Yeah I get so aggravated when I pick up my Kindle and the darned battery is down. Now I have to sit near a receptacle so I can read with it plugged in.

Oh and, sixty frigging bucks to fill up my 14 gallon gas tank.

I have a huge problem because it is raining. I will spend less than 2 minutes in the rain getting into my car and then from the car to the bank!

, after

Oh and yes years of commuting 1,5 hours, in one direction, to work today it takes me 5 minutes to get there by car.

I hate waiting for like 30 seconds for the water to get warm when I jump in the shower. It's like how much more does life want to piss me off?
