First World Problems

135Pats · 07-01-2015, 08:04 AM

DRLs in the Lexus aren't turning off automatically, forcing me to click the 'lock' button twice.

The struggle...

UncleWede · 07-01-2015, 09:41 AM

The most dangerous part of my day is crossing (at the cross-walk, with flashing lights) to get my coffee in the morning, or lunch if I venture out. I can't count how many times people have just gone about their busy day driving as I walk into their path. Nowadays, I try to sprint across without shaking up my cup too much.

My biggest FWP is that brakes should not make dust that sticks to the rim.....disgusts me every week I need to get on my knees and needlessly scrub when some engineer should have solved this problem eons ago

Delta0311 · 07-01-2015, 12:08 PM

The fact that I have an Iphone 4s and my company won't upgrade me for another year or so. God I feel like such a peasant.

I specifically asked for no whipped cream in my venti frapp, and they put whipped cream in my venti frapp

Ordered an iced Oprah tea latte from starbucks and they gave me a hot tea latte...

NEFARIOUS · 07-01-2015, 01:49 PM

I have the Droid Turbo, which is supposed to be VZ's exclusive flagship phone. I was invited to soak test the v5.1 update... But the Bluetooth on my car went from bad (first couple of calls are clear after pairing) to worse (all calls sound gated [think the sound effect of Crimson and Clover] even after I pair it).

Even worse? I live in a state where all drivers are banned from handheld use, where someone with 14 years of experience and drove just fine holding the phone pre-ban is subject to the same laws as a clueless peón, so I have to either use built-in speakerphone or hook up my phone to AUX and discreetly hold the phone like some ghetto hoodlum in what was pretty much the top-of-the-line non-M BMW 3er.

"Oprah" "Tea" "Latte"

You got what you deserved.

One of the many reasons I went to an LG flip phone is how well it works with BT in the car. Much better than my previous Droid phone.

Plantronics Voyager Legend headset kicks ass. I used to have my Galaxy S5 hooked up to the car's BT, and I thought it was good... had just a few complaints.. But it was shit compared to the Plantronics. Now, I can have my stereo on and all the windows open and the person on the other end can't hear anything but my voice. It's nothing short of amazing. I should try it at the trap shooting range one of these days.

Got a 4th monitor installed at work, but still not enough screen space Plus I've pretty much run out of desk space, fml.

Ran out of plastic spoons so I had to eat my yogurt with a plastic fork.

Oops, FML thread, not First World

The battery in my truck's key is getting low. Power locks now only work in about a 25 foot radius.

C5driver · 07-07-2015, 09:51 AM

It's drizzling today. Have to take the 4 door car

bmwmsport · 07-07-2015, 09:56 AM

Agreed rain sucks. In the rain, my truck is a madman and can't get traction to save it's life (none of this traction or stability control computer BS). The rear tires just light up at the sight of any throttle input.

I can put it in 4x4 and it gets a lot better traction (of course, 4-wheel locking differentials). However, if I do that, it limits the turning radius to about the width of the earth. This thing is impossible.

I was in Hattiesburg last August. Your turning radius is the least of your problems!

Wow. Family used to live there.

We try not to remember the time my parents spent at Southern Miss... back when their football team actually won games.

With traffic on PCH, it took 15 minutes just to get out of the Getty Villa. I don't think the cobblestone road is more than 1/4 mile
