What was your first world problem today?

[buzzlightyearsgirlfriend]

I had one in Coles.

The deli server asked who was first (because they NEVER use the **bleep**ING ticket system, am I right?) and I indicated truthfully that the (well-fed) woman to my left  was first.

Stupid me.

Well-fed woman had to taste everything before she asked for it all to be specially sliced for her.  Already sliced turkey breast or ham wasn't good enough for her, no siree! She neeeded THICK slices of everything.

Deli server: "Is this thick enough madam?"

Well-fed woman: "Hmm let me see....."

Oh, and then she insisted that she only have 400 grams and ONLY 400 grams of all the stuff she had tatsed and asked to be specially sliced just for her.  I think she had her lunch at the deli counter...

ARGH!!!

In Coles the cigarette kiosk person will serve customers with a few items in between selling cigarettes. 

Why the heck won't woolies people.  I asked if I could take my items through that check out and her reply was there is not many in the other lines as she proceeded to wipe the bench down.  So I had to stand in line with my 2 items behind 4 people with baskets full.

Oh how I wish we had a Coles in this town too.

Yep, a classic first world problem  :D:D:D

My beautiful new gas cooker doesn't have a timer. I had to count to 2100.

I'm tired of self proclaimed traffic directors telling me off for driving in the correct lane .What else can one do ? Just stop driving altogether ? The police won't remove them  and they are a PITA.

I'm tired of hearing nasty people cheered on for being nasty ....just because these people are bored,weren't taught behavioural management as children or are sick,miserable unhappy and or any and all of those things .

...with all of that ...I'm worn out and I'm off to bed.

and I need to work out a way to convince my offspring that little old ladies aren't always something to fear.

is it in farenheit like mine? 

[the*scarlet*pimpernel]

oh. Is that why my lasagne burnt?

nah, I'm pretty sure it's in celsius. It has a fan, and a light, and some fancy ignition thingy, but no timer. My old Chef gas cooker had a timer 😞

What do self proclaimed traffic directors do and why?

Are they on the road or in some sort of parking place?

I've never encountered any, that I've noticed. It sounds like an odd thing to do.

Mine doesn't either. It has a timer on the oven that turns the oven off and the oven won't turn on until the timer is set.  

At first I thought the oven was faulty because it wouldn't heat up.

my electric one is like that, took me ages to work out why the dratted thing wouldnt work
