At least the 2-dimensional people in my life don't find me completely dull, huh?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1108409 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:53:50 +0000 BadgerMom 1108409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BAHAHAHA! Hilarious!</p> <p>@cherrybee: I think maybe your DH isn't quite using the phrase as intended. What you were telling him about wasn't just a first world problem, family drama happens everywhere. Now had he come home to you complaining about how your pedicurist used the wrong shade of pink on your toes... THAT would be a first world problem lol. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1108351 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:41:25 +0000 Kimberlybee 1108351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: that was great!

A first world problem is someone complaining about having to wait in line for hours to get the newest phone. or someone being upset their dad bought them a jaguar instead of a bentley</p> <p>On the flip side I do think the term is good at reminding people that there are others dealing with much worse so just because you couldnt get the newest phone immediately after it was released is not the end of the world </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107998 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:01:01 +0000 mrsjyw 1107998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107991 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:59:52 +0000 twobee 1107991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: I agree. I read this article a while back and I think it does a nice job of conveying what I don't like about the term.</p> <p><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/whats-wrong-with-firstworldproblems/248829/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/whats-wrong-with-firstworldproblems/248829/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107980 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:57:20 +0000 Boheme 1107980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha!

Not every problem that a person in the first world has is a "first world problem". Show him these videos... THESE are first world problems!</p> <p><a href="http://youtu.be/vN2WzQzxuoA" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/vN2WzQzxuoA</a></p> <p><a href="http://youtu.be/D2p5svFJ9cQ" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/D2p5svFJ9cQ</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107950 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:48:34 +0000 pui 1107950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think "First World Problem" should only be used to describe truly mundane "problems"... like your husband didn't refill the Brita so now you have to wait for water, or your laptop battery is dying and you have to go all the way to the other room to get the charger lol.</p> <p>I don't think first world problems relate to issues with your inlaws.</p> <p>You still have reason to be unhappy even if you live in a first world. Sure, you should appreciate what you have, but that doesn't mean you don't have any problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107907 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:37:03 +0000 sunny 1107907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107891 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:31:26 +0000 mamimami 1107891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in the third world and people here have problematic inlaws as well. That's what I find annoying about the phrase. I mean yes, many problems are small in the grand scheme or things. But human problems tend to be very similar everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107868 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:25:06 +0000 MrsSCB 1107868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yeah I don't really like that saying either, though occasionally in the right context it can be funny. I think a lot of people just like to act as though dissatisfaction or unhappiness is a zero-sum game, as though me or you being unhappy with something somehow takes away from people with more serious issues. I say everyone has problems, though! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107865 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:24:01 +0000 LovelyPlum 1107865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You crack me up. You're right, and so long as we recognize that most of our problems would be considered luxuries to others, well-we still have to deal with them, don't we? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107863 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:23:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 1107863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this post! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107862 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:23:29 +0000 banana 1107862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG i totally LOL'd! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107857 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:22:13 +0000 avivoca 1107857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're one of my favorites! I think about it sometimes too, how we demean each other and ourselves when we say "first world problems." While we are lucky to live in a first-world country, that doesn't mean we don't have problems that we experience too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107848 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:20:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1107848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL :happy: :happy: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107838 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:17:29 +0000 regberadaisy 1107838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: HAHAHAHA<br /> "Well of course it is!!

I love ya </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-world-problems-1#post-1107826 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:14:19 +0000 Cherrybee 1107826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, Im officially banishing the phrase "first world problems" to the peanut gallery! </p> <p>I was telling my DH about one of the threads on here - some family drama that captured my attention - and his response was "first world problem". Well of course it is!! I don't scour 3rdworld.com seeking out like minded people to discuss freaking Sudan with, do I? Just because its not about war, famine or corrupt governments - its still a problem to the person experiencing it. </p> <p>Excuse me for having nothing better to do with my long, tedious days than to read about other peoples problems. Tomorrow, I vow to spend the entire day reading up on Ethiopia and when he comes home he can darn well listen to every last fact. "Third world problems, honey, I thought that was what you wanted to talk about?". </p> <p>Ugh!!! </p>
