This is a question First World Problems

Onemunki says: We live in a world of genuine tragedy, starvation and terror. So, after hearing stories of cruise line passengers complaining at the air conditioning breaking down, what stories of sheer single-minded self-pity get your goat?

One of the awful phrases that upsets me that my awful middle class family and awful middle class friends use is
"The worst thing in the WORLD is ... "

and finish the sentence with some fucking inane bollocks about dropping Tarquin's dummy on the floor in Waitrose.

I always think to myself, "I'd rather that than, say, being in Syria right now" for example, and then get upset, not only at the mind-breakingly dull content of their passing comment, but my sheer, pig-headed and comfortable pedantry about it.

I swear to God when I finally go postal it won't be my fault - it will be Western society's as a whole for being so full of utterly boring cunts.

I say a very similar thing.
When people moan about inane gibberish, I just mutter 'And they say it's bad in Afghanistan'.

Reminds me of a very very old Viz cartoon
Two badly drawn characters:

Man. What's worse than finding a worm in your apple?
Boy. Finding half a worm?
Man. No, being stripped and beaten with a length of knotted rope.

Whenever I'm in Waitrose...
...and some spoilt middle-class Tarquin-spawner's anklebiter drops his dummy, I swoop down on it and whip it off the floor, shove it down the back of my kecks, slip the rubberised teat up my ringpiece for a second or so, pop it back out and hand it over. That's usually why the mother then goes on to say, "The worst thing in the WORLD is..." So you can see her point.
