25 of the Wildest First-World-Problem Freakouts People Have Witnessed

For a while, the go-to ammunition to throw in any stress is real, and I don’t think bottling it all up is a triumph of magnanimity. 

That said, you do have to exhibit the correct amount of stress and Taco Bell doesn’t have a straw for your Baja Blast. What you don’t need to do is chase down the delivery guy and tackle him to the pavement for his transgressions. 

A thread on Reddit asked for the most unnecessary first-world-problem freakouts, and because people are often terrible, there were plenty of entries.

azninvasion2000 . 1y ago Edited 1y ago My boss from about a decade ago was this insanely rich dude who always went to the bank to get fresh and crisp currency. He'd call the bank in advnace to make sure they had some on hand. I think he was a germaphobe. Не had a trash can that he'd throw $1 and $5 bills in that he thought was dirty and regularly just donated it VS spending it.
mertsey627 © 1y ago When I was about 19 years old, I was at my boyfriends family BBQ. I was wearing this pretty floral sundress. His cousins girlfriend showed up in the same dress and she was so mad that she went and changed. I will never understand being upset when someone is wearing the same thing as you. Did you really think that your shirt you bought off the rack is going to be unique to you? No.
mechant_papa 1y ago The blue of the balloons wasn't quite the same as the bridesmaid's sashes. Years ago my wife and I attended a wedding. It was very low key. The dinner was in the diding hall at the university where the couple met, cinder block walls and all. It was a Baptist wedding - no booze and very serious. The dark blue balloons attempting to liven up the hall were a slightly darker shade of blue than the sashes on the bridesmaid's dresses. The bride lost here shit and absolutely raved for nearly an hour. I can't  how they finally
 1y ago Rich neighbors who end up in expensive court battles because they disagree about where a tree can be planted or whether the color of a fence fits in with the street's amenity. These disputes get really heated and rack up huge lawyers' bills. The most pathetic part is after the judgement when they are arguing about who should pay the other party's costs. Lots of affidavits filed citing the emotional distress they had to endure, or painting themselves as brave warriors who were forced to take a stand to fight for justice. Also lots of pompous litigants
Switchbladekitten . 1y ago | work in a public library. People will get so so mad if they have to be put on a wait list for a book. A popular book that just came out. Ok our services are not only free but so are the books. You're welcome, assholes.
DeathGrover 1y ago My own. We have a bidet toilet seat (Fabulous! Everyone should have one!) and not only does it wash your bum and blow dry it, but the seat's heated! It's shocking how much a heated toilet seat makes the whole process more agreeable. Except: We had a power outage and I went to use the toilet and the seat was cold! Unacceptable! This shall not stand! I was really upset because it didn't feel good. Then I stopped and thought: This is the most first- world problem anyone's ever had. I was really pissed because my heiny
clever-mermaid-mae 1y ago I was working the return desk at a Target next to a military base so | have so many stories. One of my favorites was a lady who had her baby shower before revealing the gender and was livid that she had received floral newborn diapers when she's having a boy. It was a huge box of super expensive, all organic diapers, that we didn't carry and therefore could not return. I cannot accurately express her fury and disgust. How dare either suggest her boy could wear feminine diapers I suggested she donate them if she didn't
There have also been multiple times where mom's order massive toys and when we bring them out to the car they get furious that they aren't wrapped. We don't offer wrapping services. Here's the thing, if you don't want your kids to see the toys you got them for Christmas or their bit to day DONT BRING THE CHILD WHEN YOU PICK IT UP. I've had multiple women scream and curse me out that I had ruined their kids Christmas by bringing the toys they ordered out to the car like they requested.
trollsong 1y ago Edited 1y ago | used to work for disney.That in itself should tell you everything. However for fun I'll give you two specific stories one form our tech department and one from my wife who worked bookings I specifically worked for their call center to help with technical issues with magicband and the website....suddenly got worse huh? A right of age call everyone has at least one story of is the Dome call Basically there is a subset of Disney Guest(TM) that believes if it rains at walt disney world there is someone that will push a
jets3tter094 1y ago Haha so last week, I ended up changing a train ticket last minute and when I went to sit in the seat (there was assigned seating on this one), the guy I'd be sitting next to had all his stuff sprawled out on it and was using my tray table to hold his food, with his laptop on the other. So I politely told him that was my seat and he was like ugh did you just book this last minute? The app said it was empty and that I would have this row to myself. Не
PureDeidBrilliant 1y ago My arsehole cousin once sent back a dish four times because it wasn't aesthetically pleasing and actually hissed are you dumb? at the waiter when he brought it back a fourth time. Bitch, you ordered a fucking plate of soup. It's soup. It's liquid in a fucking bowl. Sadly I wasn't there to verbally bitchslap her but my sister was. Told her to stop being a cunt otherwise she'd drown her in the soup in front of her kids. Oddly enough she's not asked my sister out for brunch since...
mh985 . 1y ago Well I get really fucking pissed off at the printers in my office. We put a guy on the moon 54 years ago but we can't make something that puts fucking ink on paper holy fuck.
Disastrous_Layer9553 . 1y ago Don't know if this qualifies. On safari in Kenya, when all the laundry was hand-washed by the staff, a North American got VERY upset when she was informed she'd have to do her own panties.
littlebubulle 1y ago Video game companies getting threats, including false bomb alerts, because some players got mad that the devs didn't design the game the way they wanted. Being dissappointed at a product or service you bought is acceptable. Complaining about it is also acceptable. But feeling attacked to point of making threats and using intimidation over a video game? Not even because of a social issue but because you weren't the one being catered to? That's a first world problem.
Recently took some vacation, which included renting a car. The guy in line ahead of me completely and totally lost his marbles about the type of car they gave him. Не demanded a Tesla. They told him they didn't have any available. Bickering ensued. The lone staff member, a gal who couldn't have been older than 22/23, was the only person on staff that night. She went above and beyond by ing another local rental company (in the same large airport garage), and asked if they had any Tesla's available. They did, but it was only 60% charged. Customer threw
originalchaosinabox 1y ago I've got this cousin. He's upper-middle management for a rather large department store chain. Bought himself his dream car...a Dodge Viper. Не got a personalized license plate... Nagini. When | saw him at the family reunion, I was giving him a hard time about it, because I'd always been known as the nerd in the family. I was really getting under his skin. And then, he hit me with the biggest first world problem I'd ever heard. HEY! Do you know how hard it is to get a snake-themed personalized license plate for a Dodge Viper?
WellHulloPooh . 1y ago A lady in our neighborhood was renovating her 5-bedroom home while building a similarly sized vacation home in Arizona. She said oh you have NO IDEA how stressful it is to decorate two homes at once!
Alternative-Fox-7255 . 1y ago My kid last week said oh but dad | had gnocchi for lunch at school when | was making dinner
kep279 . 1y ago Not being able to get haircuts during lockdown. I will never forget the people with those posters
Ragedmeeks 1y ago I'll tell you my personal problem that my friends love to laugh at me about. I have house cleaners who come by every two weeks. I also have a keyboard with those little flip out risers on the underside to increase the hight of the keyboard for wrist posture. Every time the cleaners leave, one of the two risers will be closed, leaving the keyboard off balance. I swear it can't be a coincidence that this has happened consistently for almost 4 months now, and it's slowly started to bother me over Imao. I mention it every
jargonexpert . 1y ago HOAs. These people have been waiting their whole lives to stir some shit up over something minuscule.
jthechef . . 1y ago Michelin starred restaurants tend to have too much fish on the tasting menus
 . 1y ago | work for TSA, and someone complained to me the Precheck line was longer than the non- Precheck line. Uh...sorry lady? I'll tell the other people to go home?
2020lsANightmare a 1y ago People that whine and bitch about services like DoorDash. Could have just picked it up myself! Yeah. Lol. My microwaved food I ordered from 97 miles away wasn't warm when | got it! Yeah. Lol. This item | bought cost more being brought to my house and being given to me was more expensive that the last time I was in the store! Yeah. Lol.
TravelLovingMom . 1y ago | once knew a mom who was legitimately devastated, to the point of tears/grief, because a doctor predicted her 8 year old daughter's final height to be around 5'2, which wasn't tall enough to get cast as Belle at Disney World. That was the child's (and her mother's) only dream in life, apparently. Didn't appreciate my suggestion that she could be Minnie or Mickey. Lol! Only a face character would do!
