First World Problems - list them here.

I realized today that I am not sure if the correct name is Morning Dove or Mourning Dove. I have a pair that have been living around the house for a couple of years and I don't even know their correct name.

KFC's menu both confuses and angers me.

Sat outside in the hot tub the other day falling flowers from trees kept falling in the water. HAd to get a fish net to scoop it all out. Such a pain.

We're planning our 2nd family trip to Disney this October. Sifting through the dining plan, this attraction, that park, yadda, yadda, definitely struck me as a first world problem.

Also I've been shopping for a pickup truck but I refuse to pay the exorbitant prices people and stealerships want for something that THEY see as a status symbol of some sort. I plan to buy one and park it then haul it out only to do truck things. No need for 15,000lb tow ratings, a nose bleed ride height or egregious electronic doohickery. They're so thick on the ground here that you'd think they would be dirt cheap.

I may just stick to my original plan of putting hitches on all of the cars and buying a utility trailer. I'd be using it to haul rocks, bricks and lumber, and other household stuff.

Somehow this took a right turn into the rant thread... lol

Seems like a first world problem to think, "Should I sell one or two of my cars and buy a truck or drop a few hundred into my car and buy a trailer?..."

Look for a Ranger or an S10.

I eat too much high calorie food. Consequently, I am fat.

I'm having a hard time choosing between a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA.

Roth. Pay taxes going in, as opposed to coming out.

I used to take checks I received to the bank and deposit them but with Chase bank I can take a picture and deposit it through my smart phone.

Today I had a $38 work expense check to deposit and was annoyed that I had to log in to my Chase app.

Last night Tiger Mom came running into the room when she heard Travis Tritt on Pandora "turn it up, turn it up!"

My brother (helpful lad that he is) looks online to find that TT is playing very nearby next Saturday night. Now, for Mothers Day, I'm taking my beloved to a concert and $163 poorer.

And I have autocross the next morning, I'll be tired

Roth, pay the tax now and not on the interest in the future.

Thanks guys, Roth it is!

I'm buying a tire machine and balancer because I'm too cheap to haul the tires to the store. I'm having a hard time finding a place to put them in my 26 X 26 shop. I might have to move my table saw and blast cabinet up to my 2 car garage.

The robotic floor scrubbing gizmo (Scubba) is cleaning the utility room this morning. For the next hour or so I have to use the front door of my house.

I've got 4 vehicles of my own. I need to borrow one to get full sheets of plywood home.

You win, thread over.

Cat decides he wants sweet cuddle time right as I'm about ready to head out the door to do something.

Consistent ratings on car batteries. Amp hours vs Reserve minutes. And it's not among different brands same brand two batteries one rated in amp hours one rated in reserve minutes. No confusion just anger.

In reply to lrrs:

Depends on if it's rated in European or US.

And don't get me started on JIS. At all.

Complained to wife about overeating at lunch while overeating during dinner tonight.

I hop on craigslist, autotrader, cargurus, etc. on a daily basis, as I'm sure most GRMers do. I thought I had found a good deal on a '00 F350 regular cab, 2wd with 130,000 miles listed for $3990. It's been drastically reduced for the dealer's "hail sale" but I didn't see any damage. It looks good, sounds good and has new tires. It also has a liftgate instead of a tailgate. I was debating snagging it while still checking the used car sites and, of course found something else that isn't a truck and I will be looking at it tomorrow.

I'm just going to stick to my plan of cars with hitches and a utility trailer.

Why the berkeley can't Chipotle wrap a burrito correctly? I've eaten at 4 different Chipotles in 2 states. I have yet to be served a correctly wrapped burrito. Come on hipster people, even Taco Bell gets it right 7 out of 10 times.

Don't have many first world problems, living in the third world, but I think I have one today:

Bought some Old Spice deodorant on the weekend. Couldn't remember if it was Original or Pure Sport that I usually get. Bought Original, turns out I was using Pure Sport before. Original smells like Old Spice cologne and it won't let me forget it.

I can't afford to chuck it over such a relatively small problem so maybe this is a third world problem after all.

Went to my sisters' house for the Mothers Day festivities yesterday. We played a game of croquet on the lawn and annoyingly the grass was too long for a nice clean game.

(I did win both matches in a row, which annoyed my brother to no end)
