Their hold music plays on a loop that pauses before it restarts. The brief silence tricks me into thinking a person has come back on the line.

As the title says, I don’t know what it is about the timing but whenever I’m at work and I’m faced with the task of having to punch in the code from the authentication app (I dread it) the codes last 5 seconds of life and I don’t have time to punch it in, so now I have to waste time waiting for it to reset so that I can punch in the new code. Man fuck this shit.

Am I going to hell? I’m sorry but in my mind I feel like a heavy set person knows more about good tasting food.

I eat healthy normally and if I’m looking for healthy meal ideas I’ll look for someone who makes nutritious food but also are toned and fit.

Also the option to do that seems to be removed from the Spotify app.

It’s just not the same at all…

My sister got me a new phone which didn't have a headphone jack. I bought earbuds for it but they kept falling from my ears after some time. Now, they are just in my drawer.

Waiter comes over and I order two beers. He goes into his app, searching for the right buttons to push. This takes about 5 seconds. Then looks up and says 'thank you, coming right up' and walks away. I mean, buddy, you can't remember that order? Just walk back to the bar and put it in the system there. Why you gotta create this awkward silence for all involved.

My friend just told me he won't eat a whole chicken but will eat wings and chicken breast on it's own. The whole chicken is gross and won't touch any of it.

I had to order in person, in the cold. The burrito is really good though.

Ahhh i tell you what really gets me going is not been able to set up my Tesseract PC, the Tesseract is the case. Anyway the not having a plastic table or desk is a secondary issue as my dads doing renovations to fix leakage problems in the tin roof (congulated metal) so the tool bags with starhead and flat screwdrivers are placed around it and the metal clamps, spirirt levels, tapes, spanners and wretches are in a tool bag on the plastic table so even if I could set it up, it wouldn't be able to handle a classic game like Warcraft 3: Frozen Thrown, Unreal Tournament 1999 or Command and Conquer: Yuris Revenge (high speed lowdrag), so this is my first world problem. Can anyone relate?

my phone just stopped working last week and won't turn on so I don't have access to my phone number. I never realized how much of a pain in the ass it would be because i just can't get into anything since everything sends an authentication code to my phone number, which I have zero access to. I thought I would be fine taking my exams with my laptop this week, but nope I couldn't get in because I had to verify with my phone number. Can't get into my bank account because I need to verify with my phone number. Tried to make an appointment with apple, but nope I need to verify my account with my phone number. I'm just annoyed at this point

Sod's Law, as we say in the UK. Now that I've been paid everything I had my eye on is back to full price. Guess I'll have to wait for the Christmas sales.

that is all.

Frostpunk is on sale 84% off, but if I wait 2 weeks, it might be 90%.* But I'd rather have it now.

*Based on historic low from steamdb info

If I may grouse a little further... I work on a globally distributed team and the ideal time window for meetings is 8-10am PST. That's generally the busiest time of day for me and then I can free-plan the rest of my day.

Normally, I let calls go to voicemail when I'm busy and return them when I have time. (I wish everyone did this.)

HOWEVER, my doctor's office is tied to a hospital with an absolutely archaic IVR phone system. There's no direct line to his office specifically, so I have to listen to a long automated recording telling me to refer to the CDC for updates on Covid-19 protocols and not to bring a gun to the hospital. (Seriously.) When I finally reach the office, I have to leave a message half the time, so it's just easier to accept the call and find out what they want or I end up playing phone tag all day.

This isn't necessarily exclusive to the first world but only someone in the first world would care about something like this. Especially since I see people with more facial hair in 3rd world places.

I hate having facial hair. I hate it. I hate the sensation of it, how wirey and sharp it is as it grows back. I hate that it grows in patches so I look like a pedo if I actually wanna try and grow it out. When I lay down with my chin against my chest, I can feel the hair rubbing against and I hate it.

It looks weird. I get so grossed out at the idea of people with facial hair kissing. I would rather watch two shaven men kiss than see a dude with a mustache kiss a girl. Something about the person's hair against one's face is so disgusting to me. Mustaches also look cartoonish like you're either a wannabe fireman or a pornstar.

I feel like facial hair shouldn't even be a part of my body like it wasn't meant to be. People say "you just hate it because you can't grow it" but I have been thinking about waxing or trying lazer hair removal. I WISH I couldn't grow it.

I constantly gotta shave every 2 damn days and spend so much on razors and shaving cream. Sometimes it bleeds like when you graze the razor over a bit. Hurts.

Why do I even grow hair on my face? I'm not a damn monkey. I'm a human. We got clothes and scarves and face coverings. I don't need hair on my face other than my eyebrows and eyelashes.

Yeah I mean free food is free food and I don’t have to prepare it or clean up after and I appreciate it but I like meat with my dishes and now I’m low key annoyed and feel guilty for feeling annoyed which makes me doubly annoyed.

Or the extra hard drive, the stop dog barking device, pie crust rings, hairbrush cleaner, KitchenAid attachment, soap holder for the shower, and on and on. Buy me what I want damn it.

Edit: To clarify, it's not that I don't enjoy getting fun stuff I like but I usually pick that up for myself, it's necessary things I can't seem to pull the trigger on.

I just don't want him to feel obligated to spend even more money on top of expensive necessities that I would be perfectly happy with. He'll buy the thing and say but it's not for the occasion and then buy more.

Edit 2: Alright everyone the stop dog barking thing is not a cattle prod or any other kind of electric punishment device. I'm not some sort of dog hating monster because constant barking affects me negatively and I'd like to go out in my own yard without my anxiety being revved up by the neighbors dog pack.

Edit 3: Thank you for all the well-meaning advice but our relationship is fine everyone, rest assured. I know full well bitching about essentially getting double gifts is ridiculous; that's why I came to /r/firstworldproblems and not /r/relationship_advice.

Also Merry/Happy whatever you celebrate this time of year, I hope you all get the appliance of your wildest desires!

The lady she replaced used to make excellent, perfect strength and milkyness coffee.

Now coffee's are weak and just poorly made, I also have oat milk and she keeps giving me normal milk.

(I do also make my own coffee before anyone points that out)

Today, I prepared my dogs breakfast while they were still asleep. I placed the bowls on the floor and yelled, "Come and eat!" When they got to their bowls, the looked at it and then looked back at me; they stared at me for a good 30 seconds. So, I had to pick up the bowls, pretend I was making their food in front of them, placed the bowls back on the floor and they started eating.

I invested in this pre-lit heap of plastic to make my life easier.

Yet it mocks me. It forced me to get out the Dyson and do some hoovering to get rid of the little plastic pretend pine needles.

Ugh.

All that work into custom cards and I can't even make them 😭
