With all that’s going on in the world at the moment, what better time to reflect on some lighthearted first world problems, à la Mia Freedman’s MamaMia column.
My friend Laura and I love to poke fun at other people ourselves, so we’ve come up with a few of our own first world inconveniences:
- Starting/finishing a book on public transport when you’re distracted by other peoples’ too-loud iPods, broadsheets in your face and the stench of unwashed humanity and can’t relish the story.
- When your boyfriend wants sour cream with his tacos but you’re doing the vegan challenge.
- When the sun streams through the blinds right onto the TV.
- Stressing the importance of arriving together at an event when you’re part of a group costume.
- Hating it when you have to say/text/email the word “like” instead of just pressing the like button on Facebook when you’re not on Facebook.
What are your first world problems?

I am quite sure 2 of those occured at my party! :P
The last two, I’m guessing! Although the costume thing happens all the time ;)
