 Richland, Washington |  Subject: RE: Gimmie your "best" first world problemsOk, I couldn't ride the harley to work today because I had to go pick up the new ski boat from the dealer... It was a perfect day too... 70 degrees and no wind... so to make up for not riding the motorcycle, I took the Cervelo for a ride, but my garmin was dead, so I have no idea how far or how efficient I was...

Damn......I've had a Harley, a new ski boat, and a Cervelo......but never at the same time....that's strong work. |

Master 8250 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Gimmie your "best" first world problems At a fancy beach resort with first world prices, so it's a first world problem. When I checked in, for some reason the basic double room that I booked was upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite with four bathrooms, three levels, a kitchen/dining room big enough to host a banquet for 10 people, a giant deck with another large table, loungers, and a plunge pool. Problem? I keep misplacing stuff because it's just too darn big for one person. And we all know how much STUFF a triathlon involves! Yesterday I misplaced the key and spent an hour before finding it in the upstairs bathroom. |

Veteran 275 Algonquin, IL | Subject: RE: Gimmie your "best" first world problems Our country club just opened this past Wednesday. I wanted to maybe get a quick 9 in Saturday, but we had a hail storm that damaged the greens. They are now closed until Wednesday. My only other options are public courses. |

Member 2689 Denver, CO | Subject: RE: Gimmie your "best" first world problems I work at a multi-campus university. My "official" work email address was automatically assigned to an email address that didn't exist so I wasn't getting announcements from the main HR office or messages from the president of the university where I work. Finally got it fixed and now I'm getting announcements from another campus. My cat just had expensive surgery and I was worried that my bank card limit would be too low to pay for it and I'd have to use a credit card. It's been a rough week. |

I have to weed eat it now. If you're handy, sometimes you can take the rear wheels off and mount them "inside out" which gives the mower a wider stance. Depends on the mower. Congrats on the weight-loss! |

Master 3195 Just South of Boston | Subject: RE: Gimmie your "best" first world problems Here's one from last week -- the loaner car from the Mercedes dealership was a little too small for my liking. I mean, I had to drive it about 30 miles during the day before I got my other car back! Oh, the humanity!!  |

Master 8250 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Gimmie your "best" first world problems I don't even live in the first world, or know exactly which world I live in, but this doesn't really seem like a third world problem. My "track" (an riverfront promenade where I've measured out 400m that doesn't require any turns or road crossings) has been taken over by roped-off stages, souvenir stalls, and thousands of people flocking to see/photograph/listen to outdoor concerts in front of a giant (as in about six stories tall) inflatable rubber ducky sitting out there in the river. It's supposed to be there till May 31. WTF? |

It's spreading "joy and happiness" http://saigoneer.com/saigon-news/1851-giant-globetrotting-duck-coming-to-saigon-this-month1
It came to China. And of course the Chinese photoshoppers got hold of it. Who says the Chinese don't have a sense of humor?
