People not understanding a question
When asked to bring examples of those in privileged positions bitching about trivialities (and if you were born in the West or affluent East, then you position is privileged and every problem you have is trivial*) and instead let off with rants about what they think is wrong with the first world, thus providing plenty of examples for the actual question at hand.

There's this one person on a website who complained that their biggest problems were working out how much a mobile phone costs or if the 2-4-1 in the the supermarket was a good deal or not.
And there was this other person (on the same website no less) who's biggest issue was how to change the clock on the personal car.
And yet another who freaked out over the marketing crap printed on their boarding passes.

Well, boo-fucking-hoo.
Go live in the Sudan for a few days and get some perspective.

There endeth my examples of first world problems, and I only had to scan down the first few posts.

Do you not think that
the posters to which you refer might have been being ironic?

I can't go live in the Sudan. As I have already said
I can't change the time on my clock so won't be able to adjust for the Sudanese time zone. Plus they probably use KM per hour which can be changed on on my Merc but would be very difficult to do for the reason stated in my previous point. Plus I only like to use performance fuels in my car and doubt that a war and famine ridden country would be able to provide the right grade of diesel.

Now that's irony!
