First World Problems

There's a pretty cool park I like to walk in the evenings after work sometimes. Just put on my headphones and walk blissfully while listening to music. The park is now infested with Pokemon Go players. I don't care that the game brings them to the park to collect their precioussessss, but it's their complete solipsistic lack of consideration for what isn't on their smart phone screen. They seem to believe the park is in fact a pokemon park that suddenly sprang up out of nowhere when the app was created. They mill about on the walkway, their individual stupid herds stopping periodically in the middle of the path to complete some capture or whatever the fuck takes place with this game, oblivious to real human beings. Goddamn you Obama.

Pok?mon Go players need to all realize if you turn off augmented reality, the dumb thing is just sitting in front of you and you can still move-walk-gtfo and the dumb capture game wont stop - and you can still "see it" , but if you keep augment on its "where you saw it"

Have to quit my job I started on Monday because I got another job offer that I actually wanted and been waiting a while for it to be available.

Power went out yesterday after a pretty good storm. I take a nap for a couple hours and wake up, the storm has passed and it is still light out but the power is still out. So I get the inverter for my redneck solar array hooked up to the batteries and plug in the Fios box and my Spare fridge downstairs. I head out to the shed and get the decent suburbia sized generator and drag it over to the proper location under the deck. I run the cables to the upstairs fridge, to the main chair floor light in the living room, (With a small battery backup UPS already installed) I run another cable from the generator to the larger scale UPS that runs the fios tuner and TV with attached home theater pc. I run a cable to the fios router in the back office.

Since I got all prepped for a storm and or power outages it has been three years with no power outages, so this is the first chance to put the check on my Man card for this shit.

The battery for the electric start on the generator is dead. Fuck. I use the pull cord like a god damn savage, damn thing starts on the first pull.

Hunh, who knew I could get a semi from that at my age. Wow, damn this feels kinda good. I get the generator all happy and purring and go inside to turn everything on and prove, god damn it, that I am a fucking MAN!

TV, computer and Fios and cordless phones + fridges all working happily, even the floor lamp next to lazyboy has a happy glow.

I sit down for a sec to bask in the glow of a job well done, (with of course no AC, damnit!) and the power comes back on.

Now I have to clean all this shit back up! First world problem...

I won the battle over my mohawk at work thanks to the guy in fire systems having full sleeve tattoos. Plus this shit looks good. But it's still a hassle to wear headphones and I have to have a hat for the days I'm on site during active construction because there's no salvaging it after sweating with a hard hat on .

Earlier today a dope head showed up pushing a lawnmower to my house talking about. Do you need your lawn mowed right here "by the street" for 2 bucks, about a 2x8 foot deal i told em shure ill give you 5 dollars, then i had to fix his lawn mower cause the air filter was fuct up and the thing would not start, but i wanted my 5 dollars worth of lawn mow! fucking dopeheads!

I have to register on another site that's very similar to the one I frequent now because the community moved.

I'm now clicking the titles to posts on other boards I frequent instead of the "jump to first unread post button" Rustles my jimmies when I notice I'm reading the first post in the thread.

Both first world problem and rustled jimmies. When I went to leave for work this morning I accidentally hit the garage door button twice causing it to jam. Now I can't get the garage door to open at all, even manually. Had to have the wife drop me off at work.

When the wife goes out of town for a week I get to check out the nighttime Chatterbate girls. They really are the best but then she comes back and I have to give them up till the next trip out of town.

In the work supply closet there are five options for pens, I open the box of my preferred brand and it's empty. The box under that one was also empty - lazy ass coworkers. Now I must endure using pens with inferior glide until Thursday.

Subpar pens rustle the fuck out of me too. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

I didn't know there were widths of toilet paper rolls. Can you post pics?

Width of new TV only has like 1/2 inch clearance in media center... was a close call for a fierce first world problem...

The wife really wanted a bigger TV- been wanting one for over a year, finally caved.

A FWP for a TV in 2016 is being unable to get it into the house without taking out a wall.
