Just had one of those “wow, I’m really complaining about this?” moment and it got me thinking, we all have those small, everyday inconveniences that we forget are actually luxuries in the grand scheme of things.
So, what’s a first-world problem you’ve caught yourself being annoyed by, then realized how lucky you actually are?
Let’s laugh at ourselves a bit. 😅

Being overwhelmed by the amount of things I can order for dinner. I’ve already decided I’m not cooking, now I’m being a brat about..ordering?
Being annoyed by the lack of news about GTA 6. Some people can barely afford food, less alone a $500+ gaming console and (probably) a $70 game
Eating too much delicious food on vacation and being uncomfortably full 🫣
My fiancée drives a brand new car. It has the giant screen that controls everything including your phone, her music automatically plays when she gets in, taking phone calls is a breeze and the call sounds good AND you sound good to the person calling. Heated, automatic seats, dual climate control, keyless entry, push to start, all of that fun stuff that has probably been standard for the last several years.
I come home to my 2004 RAV4 that is now old enough to drink, smoke, and gamble in jurisdictions where it is legal. My car is very mechanically sound but she is begging to be put out of her misery. Not really comfortable to sit in. AC stopped working last summer, so any day when it’s above 80 (half the year) is miserable. Has a shitty aftermarket sound system that only connects 20% of the time, sounds like garbage, and people say I sound like I’m underwater when I call them. No real amenities besides a steering wheel and gas pedal.
I shouldn’t complain. My car is reliable and could probably last me another ten years with how little I drive… I don’t have to take the bus to work. I should be more than satisfied with what I have. But I want nice features.
Everytime I’m at a round-about and nobody can figure out wtf YEILD means (as opposed to like…giving up?!) I remind myself we are very blessed. That’s a lie. My 11 year old reminds me that we are very blessed and to stop screaming WTF ARE YOU DOING?!! before 8am
Lower than average commission paychecks. I should feel blessed to even have a paycheck
Worried about my gardener finding out about my secret other gardener
