What are your First World Problems?
We have those ungrateful moans, so what is irritating you at the moment?
Me - Christmas shopping this morning and in one store the assistant offered to wrap the gift for me. It took her 10 minutes to wrap one simple item, so badly, that I nearly offered to give her a lesson in present wrapping.
And M&S (MoE) has run out of mince pies and aren't expecting any more. Apparently it's too late, despite it being a whole six days until Christmas!

How about:-
I deleted my browser history, so now I have to manually type in every website I want to visit.
or
The taxi driver keeps shaking his head, i don't know whether he means yes or no.

I am going to a party this evening and have only just realised that I am supposed to take a plate of canapés. True story!

I find it really difficult to keep my music sync'd properly between my iPod nano v5 which I have in my car, my iPod nano v3 which I use for the gym, my iPhone, my iPad and my laptop.

I don't know whether to drink my freshly made coffee first or the orange juice.
Yesterday, Mummy and I couldn't decide if it would be nice to have the roof on the car down or not. Turns out; lovely idea.

It's no longer hot enough for my bathroom towel to dry off completely between showers. And we don't have a heated towel rack.
