TBF this is a genuine first world concern.
Not really. Smoked salmon is always air tight packed. One doesn't smell it. I've carted loads of smoked salmon home from Waitrose in my Maseratis. Never had a problem.

A first world problem is deciding what Maserati to take to waitrose.

The butler drives two of the maids to Waitrose, so he uses the Quattroporte S.

6 metre tall lounge windows are a bugger to clean:
On the plus side, it must be most amusing to watch the cleaner do them again, having used a finger or two to point out the bits they 'missed'.

Caught my train to head back from a lovely weekend at my house back to my work home. Pre paid ticket etc, only for the ticket conductor on board to point out my armed forces railcard has ran out last week. So the jobsworth has just fleeced me of £100 for a brand new one way ticket!!!

So this little one way journey has just cost me £140 as opposed to £40 if I drove!!!

The pump in the bean to cup coffee machine has died so I've had to open a cupboard and get a cafetiere, boil a kettle, measure out coffee and stand about waiting, then to top it off I had to physically push down on a plunger to finish the brew. If that wasn't bad enough, we ordered the replacement too late in the day yesterday and it's not arriving until Wednesday so I've got to go through this st again tomorrow morning. I've called in sick as I'm too stressed out now.

Cockatoos, parakeets and kookaburras here - all noisy. The downside of living in a country with a tropical climate.

Underlings are easily confused, don't hire a tea boy if you want coffee.

Ok, not my personal problem but saw this thread on a site I used to frequent. This is a ex UK owned and originated site now "taken " over by mostly American members. They really struggle with this ?

Quite. Surely a first world problem is deciding which river on your property the staff catch the salmon from.

I sometimes forget to set my VPN which means that my Apple TV shows the wrong Netflix. Honestly it is aging me before my time.
