First World Problems as Voiced by Third World Residents

I know this is a commercial -- advertising a new water filter you can buy for people who need cleaner water.
But the gripes expressed by First World spoiled teens being voiced by people who have real problems to deal with just made me smile (and be sad at the same time).

I just hate it when I can't read Weird Universe as often as I would like.

Other mundane gripes?

I hate it when I have to pay $195 for my new driver's licence then have to wait 2 months to get it!

It sure does make the complaints sound ridiculous. It is the same as pain, you can only compare to the worst thing you have felt. Some people have only ever had a stubbed toe, so how can they comprehend a broken arm. Most kids here are spoiled.

I hate the fact that I cannot mount .50 calibre machine guns on my vehicle.

I have a FFL3 license KDP so I might be able to help you with that if you are willing to do the paperwork.
