My FWP is not having enough beer for my fridge. You could have saved some time and money by giving me the extra beer that didn't fit

Yes, yes, I know we could all slot everything we think into an existing thread.

Really what is the difference between a first world problem and the it grinds my gears.
For example....
Guy in the left lane on deerfoot wouldnt move over #first world problems
Guy starts duplicate theards on internet chatroom #first world problems
This isnt trying to slot everything into an existing thread. This thread is a straight up Fata.

I'm surprised you can't recognize the difference as I know this isn't your first day on the Internet.
FWPs are problems or frustrations only experienced by privileged individuals in wealthy countries.
Gear grinders are more universal in nature. Your example, for example, isn't a FWP - that experience could be shared by anybody on the planet. Even a poor taxi driver in Iraq.

whenever I have a full beer at the tables in vegas the cocktail waitress seems to be by every 2 minutes, as it's starting to get empty though suddenly it turns into a ghost town.
Flying home on a red eye, wakeup in mid flight having to piss like a race horse but I'm sitting in the window seat and there's a super sweet elderly couple passed out dead to the world and I couldn't bring myself to wake them.

Incorrect. Geographically impossible for a poor taxi driver in Iraq to get stuck behind a left lane slow poke on Deerfoot.

My first world problem today was that I needed milk, but I didn't want to haul the little one into the grocery store to get it, so I stopped at the convenience store. Not only did they not have the milk I wanted, the milk I had to settle for cost seven fricken dollars.

When your $8 million trophy room isn't big enough so you have to make the giraffe stand over the rhinoceros.

Last week I was laying on a beach in Hawaii thinking maybe I'd been there a couple of days too long.
First world problem.

I keep getting depressed because I use my spare time to read about how my favourite sports team is being run into the ground.
