Certain First World Problems: The Humor, The Reality, The Ridiculousness

Wed, 07/30/2014 - 14:51 -- jkho

My internet connection,

Where did you go?

How can I use facebook, or youtube, or any website in this regard?

What am I to do now that I do not have access to all your websites?

I have nothing to do except wait anxiously for your return

 

My cell phone,

Where did you go?

How can I text my friends, or make phone calls to people?

What am I to do now that I can't socialize with others that are far away?

I have to spend time looking for you instead of doing something fun

 

My satellite,

Where did you go?

How can I watch my favorite shows and movies?

What am I to do now that I can't sit on this couch and not get bored?

I have nothing to do except wait anxiously for your return

 

My car keys,

Where did you go?

How can I drive to places that I might want or need to go to?

What am I to do now that I can't go out and have fun with my life?

I have to spend time looking for you instead of doing something fun.

 

Oh the ridiculousness of certain first world problems

How some complain about temporary losses,

How others exaggerate the consequences of their losses,

There is no sympathy but instead annoyance

 

In third world countries

How often is the internet used?

How often are people seen with phones?

What about cars? And T.V.s?

 

There are many activities in this world

Mailing services are still available

Most people have two legs

 

It seems as though many humans,

Have forgotten the lifestyles that have passed

And are now living in the illusion of a world

That can’t occasionally regress back to the past

 

And for these people,

There is no sympathy,

Only annoyance.
