Too many games to play, too many toy soldiers to paint.

The struggle is real.

I ate too much food yesterday and now think what I prepared for boxing day will mostly go to waste.

Also got too many new books for xmas and now don't know what to start reading.

My Brazilian wife needs to learn Dutch to get a resident permit in the Netherlands so she can move there with our baby, but I've learned Portuguese much too quickly for her to actually have to talk in Dutch to me.

Having to read the forums on the tiny screen of my iphone while laying in bed because I can't be bothered to move the 3ft to my desk and use my pc.

My dishwasher has stopped working.

Got Harley parts to put on the bike and its like.... cold outside in the garage ...I have a heater but that means going to get more kerosene ... the wife is at work and I just do not want to go out there.

How old is the baby? We are raising out daughter bilingual so I'm only talking German to her while the wife handles English. Talking Dutch to you baby might help.

Other than that the only real option is to (potentially) be an ass and only talk Dutch to your wife as well, that would force her to step up her game.

Its always a shame when someones wife dies........

My paints have dried out from lack of use and time.

Ok, I got so little tie to play all the games i got until it is back to university.

I've eaten one too many Ferrero Rocher and now feel a little ill.

Too many games to play in my Steam and GOG libraries. Too many toy soldiers that have yet to be assembled, much less painted.

Also, I am surprised I am the first to post this:

Won't someone please think of the people with too many games to play on their Steam account?

Looks like snow tomorrow, might mean a miserable shopping trip for me tomorrow.

My car broke down and I missed my final, and all I got was a c+ in class.

Those sound like legitimately sort of gakky problems. I mean, I know someone in a poor third world country might not even be able to own a car or get a higher education, but that still seems pretty serious compared to us jerkasses complaining about having too many video games to play.

I was referiing to the fact that I still passed the class and I still have my other car and scooter.

Cant find the remote so i watch teletoon for 3hours even tho i was standing beside the tv for like twenty minutes.

The remote's at the other end of the sofa...Too lazy to reach across.

My new sweater doesn't go with anything

Ate a massive dinner. Now I'm constipated. FML.

I could only have a rosé with my cheese and biscuits tonight instead of a red. Worse still, M&S had run out of quince paste on my last visit.

I honestly prefer being constipated to having it shoot out like a river whenever it feels like it. To me, a solid stool--no matter how annoying or painful--is always better than diarrhoea, because at least A) I have more choice in when it comes out, and B) it's going to be solid. I've found that there's nothing more able to deflate self-confidence than a liquid crap.

I'm not very good at skin tones, so headless catchans and cannot decide between them and my marines, or metal arab style guard

I've bought so many plastic and resin toy army men I couldn't possibly paint them all if that was all I did for the next few years, and I've lost interest in playing the game associated with them.

I am guilty of that. I have major gamer ADD. Just recently i paused making two armies for Epic 40k to convert and paint a pirate squadron for XWing. Alongside that are at least four incomplete armies for 40k and a slew of minis for games by small garage-level companies, like Zynvaded. And I still have to play the $300 of Diskwars (the pre warhammer version) that I bought for $25 at GenCon.

I'm despairing leaving work and going home, as I am out of alcoholic beverages after the holiday and all I have to drink is an endless supply of clean water.

Until I go to the liquor store. Possibly on the way home.

Had 7 rum and cokes (4 of which were doubles) and 3 white Russians yesterday, totally regretted it.

Been holding a bottle of Devils Cut for five months to open this New Year Eve

I've fallen, and I can't get up.

Spends all night playing video games. Wakes up,at 3pm. Complains there aren't enough hours in the day.

You did not think that through being that can apply towards job hours

I have too many video games on Steam (over two hundred), and it's really hard for me to decide which one I should start playing, so I ultimately just go back to Dark Souls. =(

Same, 281 at last count, most of which I've never even touched. Hell, a lot of them I wasn't even aware that I had, meaning I probably bought them while drunk.

So your first world problem is: Inebriated one click retail with subsequent amnesia.

While you get full marks for decadence, dogma, I think you have got First World Problems meme wrong, that's quite an issue you have.

I'm stumped. How is this a problem?
