To go on about "first world problems", many of them are actually universal problems. Even in the poorest parts of the world, people are still faced with annoyances, and when the biggest problems are too big to solve, they'll fret on the little ones even more, since they're the ones they can do something about. Do you know what's one major concern for south american shanty town dwellers? There are several, of course, but one that always ranks high on the list is Levis Jeans. It may seem counter-intuitive, but fashion matters more in the third world than it does here; maybe it's a compensation mechanism - you can't improve your actual condition, so you work on apparent status signs - but it does express itself in shallow concerns and silly choices.
And I agree on the "using others' misfortune to shame anyone who dares complain" rant. If you don't want to be there when your friends need to vent some frustration, just tell them you're a crappy friend and look for people you'll care about. Or stay alone.

I consider the "first world problems" idea as just a lot of irony for example:
what happened to me about a week ago, when i was searching for some in a bag, and other food kept blocking me away from it. i thought "I'm having a first world problem, and this is funny""

Oh really? How so? Lecturing you, I'm assuming?
I'm curious because I'm very anti-smoking, but I'm pretty nice (IRL, at least) about it when it comes to others that do it around me.

Mostly the whole "IF YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSELF YOU SHOULD JUST GO JUMP IN FRONT OF A BUS" crap. Or, yeah, lecturing me. Or people who throw a fit if they're outside and catch a whiff of cigarette.

Not sure if I've shared this on the forums before, but something I find incredibly funny is when I walk by a group of smokers while carrying an energy drink, I almost always have one of them make the remark that "Those things are terrible for you/they'll kill you!" *insert Willy Wonka meme here* Please, go on telling me how to be healthy. |

No no no, the absolute BEST smoking hypocrisy ever was the lady who was trying to get road construction around her house shut down because she was worried that the high levels of noise might have an adverse impact on her unborn child. Of course she's SMOKING while complaining about this.

If they said it with a smile and a sarcastic voice, that sounds a lot like something I would say. |

I normally have and energy drink whilst smoking....
My personal preference is to say to them,
It isn't as unhealthy as sticking your nose in other peoples business.

Once, while I was partaking in a particular greenish herb, I was watching America's Funniest Home Videos. It was at the end segment, with Tom Bergeron interviewing the winning family, and he asked the star of the video, their son, a question. The child tried to tell him what happened in the video and failed miserably, as two year olds tend to be stupid. His story lead to such mind breaking hilarity, that I was very quickly in tears, clutching my gut and rolling on the couch. After a few minutes of laughing that hard, I was having serious trouble breathing. The thought "This is it. This is how I will die." passed through my mind. For just a moment, the tears falling from my eyes were not from laughter, but from fear.
