First World Problems: Lost the remote, now begins the arduous trek to the TV to switch it manually.

First World Problems. If it's a problem you can only have if you have money we'll feel bad for you. Then we'll feel guilty for having enough money to have the same problem.

#####About FWP

Does your HDTV take too long to turn on?
Is the air conditioning at work too cold during the summer and too hot during the winter?
Does your car's AUX input only allow for two devices?
Someone only give you a large shake, not a super-size?
Is the wireless internet you're stealing not very fast?
Did you have to go extreme lengths to avoid talking to or meeting someone?

If it's a problem you can only have if you have money we'll feel bad for you. Then we'll feel guilty for having enough money to have the same problem.

#####RULES

Links must be directly related to the problem, and the content being linked must add value to the post. Also see rule #2.
Full problem must be in the title. Title must stand on its own. None of "this" or "every damn time" or "am I doing it right, reddit?"
If you know it's a repost, everyone else knows it too. Don't.
If your post is from a FWP aggregator or feed, they got it from here in the first place. That means you're reposting something we've already seen. That means it will be removed.
No circlejerks or meta-reddit posts. You're on reddit, we're on reddit, you know that we know that you know that we know you're on reddit. Enough.
Please do not put 'FML' in your posts.
Please do not put 'DAE' in your posts.

######Why, hello folks. Please remember to read our policies before posting!
