First World Problems

I got a sudden case of the holiday blues, had some spirit yesterday and dressed up as an elf for a party, but today I learn the family across the way lost a child and a friend came over as was just a complete ass. Made three batch of brownies, but felched one up. Merry flippin' Ho Hos.

How is that a first world problem?

Bf is out picking up Poboys for dinner...from a place that doesn't have cheddar cheese.
My mobile banking app has a $2,500 daily deposit limit.
My silver earrings handmade in Mexico are tarnished.

This is positively the worst day ever.

[Atalanta]

It's so warm out we had to get out of bed, shut the windows, and crank the AC

[Swivels]

My cat decided to chew through the power cord for my MacBook, so I wound up going to the Apple Store the weekend before Christmas and spending a bunch of money I hadn't planned on.

I bought my last iCord at a truck stop and it's outlasted all of my Apple cords in duration, frequency, and severity. Unlike their ear buds, the cords seem crummy.

[Atalanta]

Not sure how I will fit in going out to breakfast, heading to the salon and then the spa, and my 10 mile run before our holiday party tonight.

Yes, of course. I live in a neighborhood with a large Hispanic contingent, my closest grocery uses primarily Spanish signage, and the neighbor child probably died from gang violence.

Obviously not the first world. No silver earrings, no spa, no BMW.

Mods, please move this to the "Get back to scratching at the dirt, peasant" thread.

I hope your breakfast sucks, the spa is overbooked, and you twist an ankle.
Your kind will be first against the wall when the revolution comes, Bitch.

Yeah, the cords aren't great. A friend's offered to try to solder the chewed cord back together so I have a backup on hand if the beast does it again, but if that doesn't work I'll look into getting a cheaper alternative.

Today's problem is that the cat is overjoyed that I'm actually spending most of a day at home, so as soon as I sit down I've got a cat on me. Of course her delicate little feelings are hurt if I need to get up to do anything, or even change position to be more comfortable...

What the ?? That seems a tad extreme and more than a little bizarre. Wishing physical injury on me because you missed the spirit of the thread and then overreacted when I questioned you on it? Really.

Really. It may be your thread...it's hard to miss your reminders...but you don't get to tell others how they should react to your responses to their posts. Khampelf certainly doesn't need my help defending his comments, but this is a difficult time of the year for many people, for many reasons that are none of your business. We deal with it in whichever ways help us cope Since no other cultures have the resources to indulge in the conspicuous consumption that has become the hallmark of this time of the year, it certainly is a first world problem, albeit not of the frivolous nature you prefer. If you don't like the responses you get, you shouldn't post the request.

Junior modding doesn't become you.

[Dragonlady]

I find few things about you very becoming.
Since we have only crossed paths on the internet, this is surely a first world problem.

Oh shoot. I thought you were the person who sent me those two belts? When you receive an Xmas thank you card, disregard it. I must have confused you with someone else I crossed paths with not only on the internet.

PS: I'm not apologizing for asking someone who seemingly misplaced a rant in this joke thread for clarification...nor will I apologize for thinking that wishing bodily harm on me is out of line.

[Dragonlady]

I was indeed.
Recently I've noticed that you have become unpleasant more than not.

No apologies are necessary. You are welcome to your thoughts, just like everyone else.

[Atalanta]

And that's your thought, which you are also entitled to, as well.

I believe you are referring to 2 incidents in which I simply questioned something. I have no control how you choose to interpret my intent. As for Jag, ask him about his tagging about me. Then talk to me about unpleasantries. If you're that bothered, I invite you and anyone else to start a separate thread about me. This thread is meant to be a lighthearted mocking of silly neuroses. Not a place for people who call me bitch, unpleasant, tell me to fuck off, etc. to come and poop.

[Chacoguy]

It sure is cold outside!

[Khampelf]

*sneer* *glare* How was breakfast?

I didn't realize you were the OP, but it doesn't matter, you're on my shit list. I guess my first world neurosis is disliking beeing sneered at by the bourgeois.

Your behavior is making me uncomfortable. Please stop.

Bf picked up some electrical tape and I have wrapped some of the chewed cord in tape...I'll keep you updated.

iCord = iPhone, or are we still talking laptops and shit?

For iDevices, eBay is the way to go. Knockoff powercords for my ipod touch run for 99 cents, free shipping.

Yes. The generic white cord. Gives me an iHeadache.

A Nigerian writer is annoyed by this first world problems meme, saying that Africans can have these silly problems too. I feel a sense of ennui that this guy is annoyed with me in the most abstract and impersonal sense.

Perhaps he needs some education around the true meaning of the phrase? Shit, what's the point of having it if it, if everyone has it? The phrase "White Whine" is brilliant.

I guess she has to play the cards she's got.

[Jaglavak]

No, not really. But she does it anyway.

[McNutty]

My message board seems to have a lot of latent hostility that I can't keep straight because apparently I don't read the threads where the real shit goes down.

I imagine it must be tough to track the anger patterns of a bunch of people who enjoy drama with strangers from the privacy of their homes. May I suggest a flow chart, or a football play plan with x's and lines?

[Atalanta]

I had to go to the post office today. And wait in line behind a bunch of garbage blanc. I used to be sad that it was a waning institution. Now I just look forward to it dieing its slow miserable death and taking all of its fat ugly lazy employees and stinky complaining customers with it. Good riddance, postal service.

Also, I hate watching old shows on my hi def tv.

[Vandervecken]

There's this annoying bitch that keeps posting on my favorite message board, and I have to keep reading her ugly, whiny, self-centered, sneak-bragging posts.

Seriously, she's a complete bitch.

[Antonio]

I can't get enough panelists for my Match Game thread. I tried PM'ing @Atalanta, but my message was blocked...*sniff*

You should find someone who knows about the newfangled computer devices what with their ignore key and such. I hear it works wonders.

In all seriousness you're right. I think that posting about exercise and what I cook for dinner and making a JOKE thread contributes nothing to this board.

Instead I'll join the masses and talk about my terrible boyfriend and how much I hate him. Or my terrible job and how much I hate that. Or I'll get graphic about my illnesses. Or cry about my deadbeat relatives. Or my home repairs. Or my animals defection habits. And then I'll top it all off with accusing everyone else of wanting attention, giving phony (((hugs))), and attacking people out of no where by calling them names and wishing bodily harm on them. Then I'll finally know I made it in the world.

[Dragonlady]

It would be an improvement. Thanks!

If you're so pissed off at me, why not put me on ignore? Or ignore this thread? Or start a pit thread about me? Your obsessive need to fly by and drop little bird off topic poops about interactions that you have nothing to do with say more about you than me.

[Dragonlady]

I'm sure they do. I don't have you on ignore because I don't choose to.

It's now becoming entertaining to watch you vacillate between Whiney "Are you sure you want to hang out with mean old nasty me" and Totally Not Bragging "amazing boyfriend, job,friends, pets and life".

And you offered the change, I didn't demand it.

[Wolf Larsen]

Atalanta, you might want to change your password. Some hacker has gotten in and is making posts that make you look bad.

Thanks for confirming what I have been in denial about. You truly do lack the ability to connect the dots that are my posts that I'm being sarcastic and/or hating that I'm wasting my time on this shit. There's my "vacillate."

And honestly? Shame on you. You are taking pride in being a bully. I hope your grandkid doesn't read this one day. Tacky tacky tacky.

I am straight out all day at work today. How am I going to find time to research cleaning girls? Good hired help is so hard to find.

Do you honestly not see this as passive aggressive bullshit or are you so desperate for attention that you don't care as long as you get a response?

I am not a bully, unless your definition of bully includes pointing out unpleasant behaviors that you would rather ignore or hand wave away.

[Atalanta]

I can't get the temperature to where I want it in my office. Having personalized office thermostats is a lot of pressure.
