Spoiled! 1st World "Problems"

[Ronin13]

Saw this article after reading what someone posted about the ATF Director being "reassigned." Pretty funny stuff... any of you ever complained of a 1st World Problem?

I have one: I'm trying to download this album off of iTunes but while it's going I can't watch this YouTube video!

Yeah, I can't think of one off the top of my head, but I do all the time. When I catch myself doing it I try to remember that it could always be worse. That's the nice thing about being deployed, besides to opportunity to kill terrorists, is that it helps keep things in perspective when you're back in the states.

Oh I know exactly what you mean... you come home and people complain about this and that and you just want to scream! I did the third day on post-deployment leave, a friend complained about something involving showers and I just blew my top: "Here showers are a fucking luxury! How about going two weeks without a shower, without a real toilet, and your one hot meal a day was cooked on a makeshift grill!"

My iPod isn't charged and I'm going to absolutely DIE without my Lady Gaga.

That shit would never be on MY ipod. Just saying as a general 1st world type complaint.

Jeez...the taxpayers provide you an all-expenses paid trip to Afghanistan, pay you an exorbitant salary and provide you the opportunity to kill scumbags that really deserve to die and you have to bitch about missing a shower or two.

Some people just can't be pleased...

It's not entirely all-expenses paid, it's not that much salary, and I didn't get the chance to see the pink mist (close on two occasions but no cigar)... and when you miss about 2 weeks worth feet and doodoo start to be a step up from your current odor.

You should just be thankful the .gov gave you a job, mister.

I was grateful for the wonderful training and experience, but I didn't NEED it like a lot of folks rushing to the recruiters these days... It was something I wanted to do and I'm proud of it.
