That is pretty funny. It's all relative, most not having been in the military and many were coddled by their parents. I read yesterday 1/3 of millennials were given their house down payment. Crazy. Most of my wife's co-workers are still given allowances to pay for housing and cars. These are professional level established employees...

My maid is cleaning my bathroom, so I can't take a shower
When I do, the water starts getting cold after an hour
I couldn't order off the breakfast menu, cause I slept in till two
Then I filled up on bread, didn't leave any room for tiramisu
Oh no, there's a pixel out in the corner of my laptop screen
I don't have any bills in my wallet small enough for the vending machine
Some idiot just called me up on the phone, what!? Don't they know how to text? OMG!
I got
First world, first world problems

Yeah, we helped all our kids (well the three that bought houses, the fourth is a few years away from it) with a small amount to help them with their houses. Also gave each a car, well broken in.

You can only roll your eyes at some of those stressors.

Whoever put that study together should be embarrassed, the color coding below shows the obvious overlaps, so several of these are the same thing and don't belong. I would question the overall survey validity based on this sloppy work alone.

1. Losing wallet/credit card
2. Arguing with partner
3. Commute/traffic delays
4. Losing phone
5. Arriving late to work
6. Slow WiFi
7. Phone battery dying
8. Forgetting passwords
9. Credit card fraud
10. Forgetting phone charger
11. Losing/misplacing keys
12. Paying bills
13. Job interviews
14. Phone screen breaking
15. Credit card bills
16. Check engine light coming on
17. School loan payments
18. Job security
19. Choosing what to wear
20. Washing dishes

Job security applies to me a lot. From 12/28/2017-9/18/2018, I had three 3 temp jobs (all 3 were clerical or mail room or data entry-related) that I collectively only worked about 8.75 days. I was laid off from each ranging from downsizing to not meeting the minimum standards the employer wanted to not being to keep up with the work! Getting and maintaining a job is hard!

At my previous job, so many entitled old folks. Retail seems to attract them like a bug zapper.
“You made me wait two minutes for a coupon”.

“I wanna speak to your manager!” because we dont have the product she wants.
