The Official "First World Problems" thread....list your favorites.

1) My Rolex scratches my Macbook!
2) I don't like the shape of the case on my redesigned $40,000 watch.
3) It's tough to find straps for the lug width on my $10,000 watch
4) The new hand length on my $20,000 watch is "out of proportion"!
5) The Rolex bezel frays the cuffs on my tailored shirt.

List additional favorites.....

A friend of mine had to drive his mother-in-law's Bentley GTC because his new Ferrari FF was not in yet.

My Ferrari 430 is in for service so I'm stuck driving the Dealer's 360 loaner. Can you imagine the humiliation?

Our friend pulled into the wrong garage in her E-class Mercedes while coming to meet us at my club for brunch and had to get security to let her out.
