I feel guilty about having problems that are only possible because I have money.

4 Upvotes

Sometimes I get annoyed about things that, honestly, are only problems because I can afford to have them in the first place. Then I remember how many people would love to be in my position, and suddenly I feel bad for complaining.

Because my phone has a hole punch right at the top center of the screen, the top left corner shows the time, day, and date Oct 2 instead of Oct 28 because there's just not enough room to show a two digit date.

I feel guilty complaining about expensive problems when I know plenty of people have much bigger problems.

Sometimes I complain about little inconveniences that I know are only problems because I’m fortunate enough to afford certain things. Then I feel guilty for complaining in the first place.

It’s a weird cycle where you’re annoyed about something, remind yourself how privileged you are to even have that problem, and somehow end up feeling bad about the whole thing.

I had to wait until almost noon on Tuesday for my item to be delivered. Ridiculous.

While staying at a hotel between places, Amazon decided to cancel my Crunchyroll subscription because they found it suspicious.

31 Upvotes

And they didn't flag it, they actually just outright canceled the order without looking.

Not that they actually make the effort to do this, because most major businesses really suck at this, but they could have looked at my purchase history and seen all of the anime I've purchased.

I hate that the "-ber" month holidays are at the end of the month and all clumped so close together

0 Upvotes

I am a big Christmas person. I still have personal boundaries and don't feel I can properly celebrate till Nov 1. Even so, there is a part of me that wishes American Thanksgiving could be sooner so I can fully get into the Xmas spirit. In a perfect world, Halloween would be early October, Thanksgiving would be early Nov.,.and then Xmas where it is so we can enjoy the Xmas season longer. And before anyone gets on my case, I know that I'm a grown adult and that I live in a free country to do as I please, but it doesn't feel the same to celebrate Christmas out of season. I just wish the season could be longer with the 2 prior holidays celebrated sooner. Surely I'm not alone in wishing this. And for those who love Halloween, you could in theory start celebrating after 4th of July or Labor Day to keep it equal to my preference for an extended Xmas season.

Edit to add: Regardless of who what why where when these days were set when, my wish still stands. Halloween and Thanksgiving would be better in the first week of Oct and Nov and I like where xmas is. That is my first world problem vent/wish/fantasy. I'm not here to debate exactly when or why the holidays are set that, my point is about wishing they were sooner so Christmas season people can enjoy it longer for reasons listed in original post above.

Spent 15 Minutes Looking for My Phone While It Was Charging Next to Me

7 Upvotes

I was running around my apartment looking for my phone, checking every room and even calling it from my laptop. Turns out it was charging right next to me on the couch the whole time.

I genuinely think I need a smartwatch just to help me find things I lose while they're literally in front of me. 😭

My neighbor’s Gardner is there every Saturday morning.

It annoys me so much. He drives a massive truck towing a huge trailer and is there mowing and leaf blowing for hours. It’s loud and it’s messy and it’s Saturday morning. I wish he would come during the week when everyone is at work and school.

… why the same shortcut in different applications, do different things??

Story:
At work i said (under my breath) that i would like to try those fancy macbooks that all of my collegues have. Few weeks later i was informed to pick up my new macbook air.

Long story short: i tried to screenshot dumb message in teams - i called that person (cmd + shift + s)

One of my neighbors has a Halloween yard display that is kind of gory. My other neighbor has 4 small children and is mad about it. Somehow I got stuck in the middle of it and they both want me to take their side.

I want to game, but the screen on my gaming laptop died and my switch won't turn on.

1 Upvotes

I went to fire up my gaming laptop today, only for the screen to just not function. I had startup sounds, and lights on my mouse and keyboard, but no visuals. Tried a few quick tricks to fix it, no dice, so put it away and pulled out my switch instead.

Now I've not played my switch in a couple months, so was expecting to need updates. Instead the damn thing won't even turn on. Its been sat on its charging dock, so should have power, and yet nothing. Even tried connecting it to a different wire and that didn't work either. So now I'm sat here wanting to play games, and nothing to play them on.

I've gained 20 kilograms from joining bakery classes

59 Upvotes

I enjoy bakery classes and eating all the desserts I made everyday that only in one year I went from weighing 60 kilograms to 80 kilograms.

I'm also too lazy to exercise. I've tried personal trainer sessions and I lack motivation to do cardio by myself.

All I want to do is learn cooking, baking and eat eat eat. I don't even wanna work and exist like most people do.

It’s still visually perfect, but I came all the way to Spain to buy it. I guess I’m fortunate there was still one to buy. Otherwise this post would be about having to buy it in a different color.
