Expectations are definitely a big part of it. As someone who lives in the third world, (and only spends about one/two weeks a year in the first world), it always amazes me the minor (from my perspective) stuff that make some people in the first world really irritated. Some that I can remember: - Someone completely mad at their phone because the video on a call was dropping (just after landing, while the plane was still taxing, in the middle of the tarmac of a very large airport). - The airbnb-mate in a shared Airbnb crying because the outside of the entrance of the house smelled a bit of cigarettes. I mean like real telenovela ending style tears. - Someone kicking and shouting at a ticket vending machine because it was out of service (a working one was next to that one) - Complaining about food choice in an event buffett that had like five different cuisines. Fortunately my needs haven't grown that much, it seems that the only first world thing I want is a Japanese toilet.
