Please post your most trivial first world problem here

I purchased a new cell phone cover last week because I liked the paisley design. (Why I had to purchase a phone is a whole nother 1WP)

When the cover arrived I noticed the sides were white instead of a continuation of the paisley design.

You ask "why is this a problem?"

My wife's phone cover is white too so she started mistaking my phone for her phone and texting from my phone.

This lead to my next problem: I wanted to keep my paisley cover so how was I going to cover the white sides?

Fortunately I found a black Sharpie oil-based ink marker where the ink would stick to plastic.

FYI: I also picked up a white one as well. This one has more of a pen based tip.

These are awesome because the ink sticks to metal, smooth plastic, glass, vinyl, rubber and leather.

So now I can permanently label all kinds of stuff that I couldn't before.

FTR: Here's a pic of the offending cover. I hope u like it too:

This looks more like a solution right? ;)
 
My custom EUB is "nearly finished" and I want to be playing it already. But if it's done in the next couple of weeks, I'll have a dilemma around getting it shipped here from Italy because I could be at yet another festival in Germany when it arrives, and I'm worried that the facilities staff will pitch a fit if I get it sent to the office.

I have other problems that are even more first-world, but they're less trivial.

Sometimes my wife would use my cast iron frying pan to make spaghetti sauce, or cook sausages without greasing first. I hate having to sand it down to "new", so I stashed it in the basement and I now use a teflon coated pan. All of this is good, but Jebus, I hate the plastic egg flipper
Sand it down? My partner seasoned ours, and it gets more seasoned with everything we cook on it. It's now both more non-stick and tougher than any teflon pan I've ever used.
