For the most part, I think "first world problems" is the new way to say "I'm glad I don't have anything worse to complain about." It does sometimes seem a bit flip, though.
ReplyDeleteWell, yes. I think it's also smug. And counterproductive. But I think it bothers me a bit less than you.
ReplyDeleteHm. Don't use it much so didn't think about it, but, yes, it was meant as a mildly self mocking gee isn't it too bad this is the worst thing I have to complain about.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, there is some scientific evidence that the frequencies and tones of a baby's cry are biochemically wired to be irritating so as to elicit a response,
So both points are well taken.
