'I'm so sorry your 3500 calorie meal was missing the side of ranch you asked for': Top 20 'First World Problem' Moments

People love to make mountains out of molehills. Most of the time, it's because their actual problems are absolutely nothing compared to those of countless others in the world. But people love to feel like the underdog in their own story, even when the obstacles they're up against are as simple as waiting in a long line at the grocery store. 

This form of main character syndrome has manifested itself in countless work environments, public spaces, and schools. It's the boss with five homes who makes a comment about money to his underpaid assistant. It's the Karen in traffic who thinks she is the only person running late to a commitment. And it's that high school classmate of yours who would always complain about having more work on their plate than anyone else despite being in the exact same classes. We all know this person, and so do the folks who shared their horror stories via this r/AskReddit thread. Take a look at these top "first world problem" moments. When you're done, check out this compilation of crazy job interview questions.
