Your First World Problems

[DoggyDaddy]

So our microwave went belly up after only 18 years of service. Now our new one alerts you at the end of the heating cycle with 3 loud "beeps".

This annoys my wife so she manually stops the cooking with 1 to 3 seconds left. That's fine for her but I have to clear her unused seconds before stating my cooking cycle.

It has taken most of the joy of cooking away from me. So should I harshly scold her or just be miserably the rest of my cooking days? I am so torn. Please advise.

I sir, feel your pain. Sometimes twice a day.

Argument hasn't helped, im praying for her to cook her hotdogs one day for 19 minutes and 47 seconds.

Or she could just hit clear as the way to stop the cook cycle before the alerts

So your assuming she has reasoning and accountability?

Too much to ask I'm afraid.

I've heard if you hold down the "0", "1", or 2" for 3 seconds it mutes the beeper.

I looked up an article on wikipedia the other day. They had a big red message appear on the page that said "donate $2", and another button that said "maybe later". Where was the button that said "**** off"? Do they want me to lie? There's no multiverse in which me or my dopplegannger would give them a penny later, let alone $2.

It's better to be supported by individuals than corporations or govts... just sayin'.

Wife just announced she bought a paint sprayer and going to paint all the inside of the house, every room. Said she is doing it. Wanna guess who is going to end up doing it all? And I use to paint and I’m not going to be painting! She got a huge pool few years ago said she was doing it all I didn’t have to do anything. Guess who cut the sod, leveled the area, dug for electrical…… guess who will be painting.

Using a sprayer indoors is going to add another level of first world problems.

I misprogrammed the thermostat... The furnace came on too early and I was too hot at 5am... Not good.

Dang generator came on and woke me up. Power must be out.

I took a floating holiday I wouldnt have otherwise used and woke up just in time to go to the church to run multimedia for a funeral today. I hit the power switch on the preloaded old school coffee maker with my BRCC Blackbeard in it and went to go shower and get dressed. I came out with 5 minutes to go to pour my cup and run. No coffee. (And its a slow 10 minute coffee maker) Kids unplugged the coffee maker to plug in their stuff last night.

I had to leave without my fancy coffee and use the Keurig at the church with pedestrian BSA coffee pods.
Harumph!

I trimmed my toenails last night. I didn't notice one flew in one of my slippers. I just put my slippers on. "Ouch"

Working remote/from my car while at a Dr. Apt... A coin dropped into the cig lighter socket and popped a fuse and I couldn't charge my laptop... Had to watch a YT video to find the correct fuse in the trunk. WTH! Then to top it all off... I thought the HUD was on the fritz... Turns out I just bumped the dim button with my knee that turned the display off. Sheesh. I was lost w/o the HUD and speedo on the windshield. Oh the humanity!

Was gifted a Sirius/XM radio and subscription by my brother a few years ago. Was disappointed that it wasn't very loud even with the vehicle volume on high.....Took a year to realize there was a volume on the radio too, it was on the lowest setting....

Got a pair of snow sneakers. I just stick my foot in the right one and it goes right on, but the tongue on the left one is crooked and I have to BEND OVER to straighten it to put it on. I could just stay indoors on snowy days I guess.

How come they make the peanut butter so stiff it tears the bread when you try to spread it?
