The “First World Problems” meme is one of my favorites, one which mocks the “problems” of the privileged citizens in wealthy countries. It makes light of the silly inconveniences we experience on a regular basis, and I think it’s hilarious. You’re very likely familiar with this meme, as well as the many trivial problems it describes. For those of you who suffer from first world problems on a daily basis, I present to you first world solutions!
Although, sadly, some of these ideas are not yet real, I’m pretty sure I could implement the majority of them into my everyday life. It’s very hard to say that I wouldn’t use a device that would allow me to carry multiple grocery bags at once, or an umbrella with a convenient eye hole that would prevent me from getting wet. Take a look at the gallery to see these wonderfully clever ideas, all of which would be great at solving a first world problem!
Aren’t these ideas fantastic, Lovelies? Which would you use to solve your first world problems?

I think it’s time-consuming to have to click through all the pictures one-by-one. I preferred when they were all displayed already! I think the current post structure reduces your readers’ enjoyment of the post. Well, at least it reduces mine…I can rarely be bothered to click through all the pictures, and just end up coming clicking on lovelyish posts less altogether..

@bladegurl@xanga - too bad the Lovelyish writers don’t care.

These are pretty genius.

It would be really nice if Lovelyish either linked us directly to the original website or displayed the images like this:
http://nedhardy.com/2012/02/22/21-first-world-problems-solved/
For all the readers who don’t want to click and LOAD (this is the biggest annoyance for me) a new page 10 times.
Usually, I’m too lazy to look through posts like these that have little to do with beauty/fashion, but this seriously should apply to every post from now on. As a daily reader, I am sorely tempted to quit Xanga/Lovelyish and subscribe to other blogs that do not do this because it has become very frustrating.

for the love of my sanity, sort out the picture problems.

@bladegurl@xanga -
AGREED!
Lovelyish, a lot of us dislike the click-through album. It is time consuming and a lot of the time captions don’t even display.
I prefer when they are embedded into the page with the captions under it.
Maybe this is MY “First World” problem…
