Urban dictionary defines a first world problem as, "Problems from living in a wealthy, industrialized nation that third worlders would probably roll their eyes at."

We are all guilty of complaining about at least half of the following:

1. When you're watching three different TV shows at once, so sometimes you have to manually type in the channel number instead of pressing the "last" button on the remote.

2. When your fortune cookie doesn't have a fortune in it.

3. When there isn't a proper emoji to convey the exact emotion you're feeling.

4. When your mom buys whole carrots instead of baby carrots and then you have to peel them yourself.

5. When your phone charger chord is too short to comfortably use your phone in bed while it's charging.

6. When you buy a new phone and have to log in to all of your accounts again.

7. When you lose your phone on silent.

8. When you binge watch a Netflix show too fast, and then have to wait for the next season.

9. When someone texts you in the middle of watching a youtube video on your phone.

10. When all of the self-checkouts are full at the grocery store, and you actually have to talk to real people.

11. When you're too full from dinner to eat dessert.

12. When you're out of milk.

13. When you can't find the remote.

14. When you don't want to eat left overs.

15. When there are too many commercials.

16. When you can't find a good parking spot.

17. When your phone uses auto-correct too much.

18. When there's nothing on TV.

19. When you're out of toilet paper.

20. When your friend has an annoying ring tone.

21. When Words With Friends won't accept your word.

22. When the Xbox controller dies in the middle of a fight.

23. When you accidentally like someones Instagram picture from 73 weeks ago.

24. When you have to pee in the middle of a movie.

However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days.
