First World Problems

08njSTEP · 09-11-2016, 11:36 AM

All 3 of my cars are under 1/2 tank of gas. That means 3 trips to the gas station that's 1.5 miles away.....FML

Syphon two to fill one and save yourself a trip.

I have to decide what to purchase for a new car when I turn in my existing ride in a few months....truly a first world consideration that I am somewhat embarrased to admit has taken any consideration whatsoever

I was all twisted and couldn't go to work for 3 days, until a nice cat on this forum told me that ding gives my car character. I think he was just saying it realizing my car is f*****, but the thought helped me get through this difficult situation.

Good thing it wasn't a rental here in the UK. The guy who inspected my Jag when I returned it would have found the ding and reported you to the Ding Police.

We went to the theme park yesterday, and the 2016-2017 free refillable popcorn tub's lid broke. I can't imagine going through all of next year without a lid. Never know what people might do when we're on the water rides and the stroller and popcorn are unattended and uncovered...

You wouldn't want your popcorn roofied. Wake up face down in the haunted mansion. *shudder*

Is it true that Cosby can't see? Still surprised that Dr. Huxtable was capable of all that...

I had a non-BMW guy/photographer jump in my car for a bit yesterday to take some rolling shots of our group while cruising and I complained that my fob battery died and I was using my second fob and the damn thing wasn't programmed to remember my favorite radio stations.
Hahahaa he looked at me and said, uh first world problems!

My wireless mouse at work stopped working (uses a stupid AA battery). So I just went home.

Um, no it's not! Having to manually search for music is very inconvenient. Hopefully you had the car towed home and kept it parked until you could get the fob recharged....

We usually go to the Y, which is state of the art, and so I rarely go to LA Fitness anymore.

Saturday, because I was searching for cheap gas, I decided to workout at LA Fitness. I asked the guy at the counter, if he could tell me when my membership expires? He goes, "July 2018. Man you like to pay ahead of time."

So I figured I'd slum it and workout there. Not only do they not have cable tv in 1080p on the machine, they don't even have cable tv on the machine at all. I almost had a nervous breakdown and was about to call Fred to pick me up. Then I remembered someone in OT mentioned Yacht Rock was available on Spotify.

She dialed 911. Like that time when her parents wanted to make her go on vacation with them or when Burger King messed up her sandwich.

That'd be my move. Good call.

John 070 · 09-19-2016, 09:35 AM

I gave amazon my mobile number to save $5, then found out it could not be removed, unless another one is entered in its place, and confirmed via text. I really don't want them to have my mobile number, so I got tricked.

Decided I really have to change the number and so I put JTodd's cell in the box, but nothing happened for 6 days. Looks like he finally confirmed it this morning...

So a BMW guy would have felt the pain? Or the fact that he was not a BMW guy shows that he is poor and probably doesn't have a key fob so he cannot relate to your troubles?

The battery in Wifey's key fob for my car died, so I replaced it. But the "Replace Key Battery" warning still pops up.

Sometimes when at a light and turning left, I make sure I'm stopped right above the wire sensor in the ground that activates advance turn. However the left turn signal doesn't turn on and I have to wait for all the cars to pass.

What kind of bullshit is that.
