October 17 - First World Problem

I'm bagging this one (I also bagged one from a couple days ago, which was "Secret." If it's "secret," why would I want to Instagram and blog it?). I looked at some of the examples of first-world problems other Instagrammers had chosen, and decided it just wasn't something I could go for. There were shots of:

• a traffic jam
• an almost-empty coffee jar
• a cracked iPhone screen
• a crying baby in a too-cold swimming pool
• an empty gas tank indicator
• empty plastic water bottles
• running out of snacks

Makes me think our first-world problems are petty and small and have a lot to do with wretched excess. I'm not playing today.
