First World Problems Thread, living in Australia
 
Ok let's kick it off ;)

Couldn't find my tomato ketchup for three days, finally found it tonight in the oils section in my pantry hiding behind the olive oil, peanut oil, ghee, rice bran oil, mustard oil and sesame oil bottles.

Edit: forgot to mention my seasoned curry oil and ethnic coconut oil as well.

Had to spend good money buying a fan today :frown:. My ducted heating system lays a layer of hot air at the top of the lounge room that makes it a little too cool lower in the room when we watch the 60" of an evening. Fan stirs the warm air around nicely.

OK I've got one. I've got hairy ears and nasal hair, I have an ear and nasal hair electric razor but it's still in it's original packaging and I can't be bothered to open it.

Toughen up, Princess. I have to take the train to Leedeeville then a bus supposedly to the Wellington St bus station then walk to RPH. This morning the bus dropped everyone about 50 m east of the arena. It started to rain just as I got off the bus. :sneaky: My hair, which I had spent 20 minutes blow drying straight, got wet and was frizzy/wavy all day.

No! why would I do that? You into S & M ? hot wax ripping hairs out your nose is going to hurt more than a punch from me, and no before you ask I won't wax the back sack an crack either, ya kinky git. :p


I'm going for my pedicure today and I know I will get flustered when they expect me to choose a colour within 30 seconds of handing me the colour chart. How can they expect such important decisions from me in that amount of time!

It's mid Winter here on the Mid North Coast and it's 24 degrees. I can't wear my new Winter outfits and all my T shirts are sooo last year. :sneaky:
