The First World Problem Thread...Voice Your Struggle

The American healthcare system is so garbage. You go to the doctor or hospital then you just wait for bills to show up. Sometimes it takes months. Like how am I supposed to plan financially for this? Is the bill gonna be a couple hundo? a couple thou? How many separate bills will I get? Only the gods know.

And... 50% of the time the bill is incorrect. So you call. And they say they'll get back to you. And it takes another month. But wait, they've sent it to the collection agency already.

This happens with my phone occasionally, my fix is to disable and re-enable BT on the phone.

I have tried that, no luck though.

I have seen an error message on my car's touchscreen that says something about the Bluetooth module being disconnected. That didn't pop up today, but it's that same issue because my phone gets disconnected out of nowhere and will not reconnect until the car is turned off and back on.

Troubleshooting rule #1: turn it off and on again.

It's more of a pain in the ass when you have to turn the car off, open/close the door, let the system "go to sleep" after 30-60 seconds, and then restart it.

That sounds much more first world painful. What kind of car is that? (my issue is with a 2014 Camry btw)

My 2011 VW doesn't so it, luckily. This just accounted for probably half of all issued I tracked at work between 2018-2020 (GM products).

I thought about using a sick day today because I don't want to work, but thought I can't in good conscious do something so fraudulent. So I used my PTO today. I'm truly a saint.

Another first world problem: I have a guitar coming today by UPS that says it should be there by 2:30. It's 2:29 and it's not here

If they can make a gamer a saint, you are absolutely going to be a fucking saint!

Update: it was dropped off at 2:45.

Part 2 of this first world problem: I won't be home from work to check it out for another 3 hours.

Relatedly, it's a FWP when you forget to check and then it's too late and it says "signature required for delivery". Doh.

I actually got lucky today that some pickups I ordered managed to make it to my door while I was home. 9/10 times, deliveries show up during the singular 30-minute window that I leave for lunch during the day, no matter when that happens to be. Like they're waiting around the corner and watching, so that they don't have to interact with a person.

The worst is when you ARE home, but they don't knock or anything, they just leave the slip on your door and slink away so you have to go pick up your package the next day anyway. Why did you leave? Why didn't you knock? You were 10 feet away! Or the guy who knocked on my door just to tell me he couldn't figure out how to accept payment and then left, with the package in his hands after waving it in front of me.
