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?

Ha!
Don't get me started on the hands-free soap-dispenser. My daughter's going through a germ-paranoia phase at the moment (watching her attempt to lift the kitchen bin lid with her foot is particularly hilarious). She asked for a hands-free soap dispenser for Christmas. "They're great!" she told me. "You don't get germs on your hand from touching the soap pump!"

I did make a foolhardy attempt to explain the flaw in this logic. I tried to patiently talk her through the process. "OK, so worst case scenario, you touch the soap pump, and it's crawling with germs. Caked with bacteria. And they all get on your hand. WHAT WAS THE NEXT THING YOU WERE GOING TO DO??? DIRECTLY AFTER PRESSING DOWN THE SOAP PUMP TO DISPENSE SOME SOAP??? WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT SOAP ANYWAY???"

Apparently that's not the point.
