This mess of first world problems might be all kinds of painfully relatable! This list might help to remind you just how ridiculous some of the stuff we get worked up over, really is. It is simply NOT worth getting angry about those earphones getting tangled up, or knocking over your water glass that was conveniently located next to your bed, or how the automatic soap dispenser isn't performing its job correctly. But even then, we probably still will.
First World Problems
You know that moment when you discovered your favorite show wasn't on Netflix anymore? Crushing, we know. We think about it every day. Someday, we'll move passed it but right now it still hurts too much.

Once the moment has passed feel free to be jealous or envious that you don't run a giant Instagram Futbol/Soccer fan account and have this first-world problem. Or not.

Do you need more evidence for why huge music festivals sound terrible? Here you go:
Thousands of buzzes were killed when the five-day EDM festival TomorrowWorld was abruptly cancelled Sept. 27 due to rain. Without warning or exit strategy for the some thousands of folks who flocked to rural Georgia, the event organizers closed parking lots and the gates. Things got ugly.
Atlanta Magazine got to talk with some of the stranded ravers.
When Linda made the 30-mile trek yesterday from Midtown to Chattahoochee Hills for TomorrowWorld, she was ready for the rain, but figured the festival had a contingency plan in place for the 160,000 people expected to attend the five-day, four-night electronic dance music festival. But once Dutch DJ Hardwell wrapped up his headlining set, walking off stage around 1 o'clock this morning, Linda was shocked at what came next: a five-mile walk to a shuttle stop; a four-hour wait for a bus that never arrived; and a $200 Uber ride that got her back home at 7:30 a.m. Others weren't as lucky.
"Some people just gave up, sleeping on the side of the road, with no street lights," said Linda, an Atlanta resident, who declined to give her last name. "You had no cell phone service. It was a recipe for disaster."
Early Sunday morning, TomorrowWorld organizers said that only the 40,000 people "currently camping at DreamVille" would be able to enjoy the last day of the festival, leaving the rest of those 120,000 to figure it out.
Yikes.
@TomorrowWorld you have drugged/drunk people walking 5+ hours to their car with no cell reception sleeping on the road with no food/water

TommorrowWorld organizers have said they would provide refunds but have not given out specifics on it yet.
Clearly he's not busy, he's just sitting there not loving you.
