25 Funny First World Problems

Posted by , Updated on January 22, 2024

We all have bad days. It’s true. However, sometimes we need to take a step back and really consider what we are complaining about. When that $5 latte isn’t what you expected or when traffic throws off your whole day, it’s not fun. Is it really the end of the world though? Is it social media worthy? For some people, yes; it really is that tragic. When put in the perspective of bigger problems like homelessness, world hunger, and death, these petty annoyances are definitely more first world problems than actual tragedies.

Today, we’ve decided to give ourselves a laugh (although, it’s really more sad than anything) by looking at some of these first world perspectives. We hope you enjoy and can take a step back and realize life isn’t so bad after all. There are worse things than going on vacation just when your new car arrives or having to use bread instead of hamburger buns. Here are 25 First World Problems That Are So Sad They’re Actually Funny.

I ordered a double tall two pump mocha with no whip. They completely forgot about the mocha part, and I swear there is whip cream in here. How difficult is it to make my drink the right way? You have one job to do, and that's to make my drink correctly!

The store is closed supposedly "to allow all employees time to spend with their families this holiday." Lame. Now I have to wait until after the holiday to buy my new boots.
