Your First World Problems

[SnoopLoggyDog]

I was in line at the store with like 50 items in my cart. The 10 items or less lady called me over and I even asked "Are you sure?". She said, "Looks like 10 items to me!"

She gets about 1/3 of the way into ringing me up and I can see that she's realized she made a mistake. This is also exactly when 3 people behind me show up with like 1 thing each... and now I'm that guy.

Basking in the shame of a situation I didn't create, I panic for about the next 5 minutes coming up with a plan. Just before she hands me the receipt, it hits me:

Loudly: Thank you again for asking me to come over to your line!

Great comeback from disaster.

Except. It makes it easier for thieves to steal it. That key fob is always transmitting. And there are devices that allow unscrupulous people to read the codes and program a new key fob that happily opens your locks and starts your vehicle. Not that I think too much about that. You can buy a case for it that acts as a Faraday cage.

With a car that new, I'd be praying someone stole it. Gap insurance + regular insurance = another brand new car.

This man is thinking.

I was sweating it for a minute. I didn't even look at the other people in line I felt so ashamed.

So today I hop in the Camry to run a few errands. Having installed a new battery last week it fired right up without hesitation. Once out on the road i fired up the radio to listen to my favorite tunes. That's when my day went south. ALL OF MY PRE-SET CHANNELS WERE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course I started pushing every button I could find as I got more and more upset. Finally I was sobbing so hard I just pulled over for a while to calm down.

Last time that happened to me, I wrote them all down.

Being the founding member of Man Haters are US possibly. Is there a minimum notice required for an extraction?

I think my riding mower might be too fast. Like, one of these days I'm gonna hit the gas too hard from a dead stop and buck myself off it.

Easy fix........

Having driven 3 hours in the rain and snow to indy for a meeting tomorrow, I check in to the hotel to find they failed to save my reserved king delux room. Then when I finally drop my bags around 8:30 pm it turns out the cable is out. Seriously, it's like slumming in Mogadishu.

I went to four grocery stores... no caviar!

You mean I'm suppose to eat my French style scrambled eggs and fresh asparagus with just goat cheese and croissants?!

That is probably the most first-world problem I've seen. But also it informs how low your standards are for what you call food.

Be sure to videotape all your future mowing's because we wanna see this!

Does it make it better or worse if I paired it with a martini?

You just keep digging a hole. Next thing you know you’ll be telling me you put ice in it.
