Anyone else find this phrase incredibly condescending?

Starbucks was out of milk #firstworldproblems

To me that reads as Starbucks was out of milk but I shouldn't complain (hehe) because it is nothing compared to starving to death, being shot at in a civil uprising, raped by rebel/loyalist factions, etc.

Let's all agree not to use that anymore.

It's not only a reminder that your life could be much worse, but also a reminder that we all lead pretty good lives anyway.

Whenever I hear this meme used, it's in reference to something that's so trivial it hurts. Things like, "I have a truck, now all my friends expect me to help them move their ****."

I dunno. I always thought that it brought the stupid things that frustrate us into perspective, though I suppose I never extrapolated it out far enough to start feeling sorry for the pygmies in New Guinea.

Man, you know you've got it good when you can find the time to post a complaint about people's reaction to petty problems (not even the problems themselves).

:D
