The most middle-class first-world problems...

[bloodiedathame]

I'm making an assumption that most of us fit into this bracket of society. If you don't, congrats.

Speaking for myself, I just experienced what I would call my most 'middle-class first-world problem' just now.

The motor on my bread maker just gave up, and I had to mix the dough by hand...

Then I thought, there must be other fine examples to add to the list, to the internet! Please share your best 'middle-class first-world problem' for us all to read, and despair about.

My avocados keep coming with that rustic wooden ball toy in the middle, I mean, is it too much to ask for some variety in your give away toys nowadays?

I forgot to charge my electric toothbrush so had to use a normal one. Nightmare!, ruined my day

Lost my Bose wired headphones... in my house... despite month 11 of WFH... still can't find them a week later.

Having to use AKG poverty headphones, can't hear the sweet sweet voice of my colleagues as crisp as before.

I’m on an educational course for work and brought the WRONG iPad.

Buy a new pair. This guarantees you’ll find the lost ones within a week, then return the new ones for a full refund.

The wall strip light in the bathroom has gone so I had to use only the overhead one. My shower wasn't as brightly lit as usual and I was sad.

Without wishing to politicise this light-hearted thread, I love the way there's often this presumption that one should be somehow ashamed of being middle class. I for one am the opposite.

Mine is that I have two missing items on today's Ocado delivery.

I don't think there's that presumption? I think it's just poking fun at ourselves.

Lidl sometimes doesn't have the toilet roll I like, so I have to get the slightly less soft version.

Lidl is not middle class

Mind you, neither is a bathroom strip light.

Yup both of them need to GTFO. Only Waitrose and Whole Food shoppers here please.

Keep it family friendly please.

My tumble dryer broke so I had to put my FitBit in my pocket and actually go for a walk to get my steps in.

Have you checked on your head for it? Normally with these types of things it's like the pencil behind the ear, you're wearing them but not realising it.

I had a delivery from BuyWholeFoodsOnline.co.uk this morning and the delivery vehicle was not a Tesla

Is this a euphemism?

Wrong how? Not supporting a certain App?

I killed my AKGs the other day, I'm very upset. They're the best headphones I have (had).
