Mine for the day.

We wanted some burgers for lunch. I went out to the local DQ. They had 2 cheeseburgers for $3 and 2 double cheeseburgers for $4.

I ordered 2 singles and 2 doubles and waited for the $7 price....then she said the price $8.78???

When I pulled around I asked and she said that my one double was without cheese and both doubles were regular price. I knew this wasn't the girl's rule so I just told her to put cheese on mine and she made it and it was $7

So basically, they charged me $1.78 for saving them from using 2 slices of cheese....and instead I had 2 scrape off two gooey slices of cheese due to their rules.

I know mine was cheesy but let's hear some of your first world problems.

My dad doesn't like cheeseburgers, but likes getting the double cheeseburgers at Burger King or the JBC at Wendys. Every time, they throw a fit if he says no cheese. So, we ask for it 'on the side'. Which means they have to use another wrapper to put the cheese in to give to him.

What's really funny was Burger King's savants sometimes microwave the cheese wrapped in its own wrapper.

Who doesn't like cheeseburgers? Un-American.

Cheeseburgers are ok....but I prefer them to be hamburgers.

Few things are more difficult than getting the DQ or Wendy's sandwich preparers to leave cheese off of a sandwich.

On a whim I got some double stuff oreos since I was passing by them in the store and htey were on sale, and it is downright embarrassing what passes for "double stuffed" today. I had half a mind to send a picture to the company and ask them what the problem is. When I was a kid, double stuffed actually meant something. Not so much anymore.

You actually took a picture of an oreo and sent it to them because it wasn't stuffed enough?

No. Didn't you read the part that said "I had half a mind to".

I don't use the phrase "I had half a mind to" so I don't know what that means. Thankfully you didn't do that; that would have been incredibly sad.

I made a dinner reservation for tomorrow night while my parents are still in town. I got a call today about my reservation and due to the DNC being here they won't be offering free valet parking like they usually do.

When I'm at work and charging my Phone with my computer cable, I get a pop up every 15 minutes saying that the hardware is ready to use. I have to click the x every time. IT can't fix it due to the way our computer network is set up.

My new alarm clock only lets me snooze twice before I can't hit snooze anymore. I prefer at least 3.

The touch screen in my sports car quit working yesterday and I have to take it to the shop tomorrow. Until then I have to use my Cell phone for GPS if I need it.

Maurice Jones Drew reported late to the team and my fantasy team will probably lose in week 1.

I have 4-5 guys on my fantasy team that have a bye during week 9. Also, there are times I forget my iPhone charger at work and I have to borrow somebody's.

The wifi at the hotel I'm staying at, isn't fast enough to play Netflix without the occasional buffer problem.
