First World Problems in Madrid

For reference, a First World Problem is something really stupid that people in Western countries complain about, but is not actually a big deal. Example: ''Oh no, I broke a nail!'' or ''I can't connect to Wi-Fi at Starbucks.'' The more exaggerated, the better! By the way, I did not make this up. I think the term was coined by some blogger my brother follows. Some of these quotes are from me and some are from friends here in Madrid. Try to see if you can figure out which ones I actually said :)

1. ''I hate carrying things. I wish I didn't have so much stuff.''
2. ''The only thing they have to drink is WATER?''
3. ''My hair dryer won't work because I don't have a converter.''
4. ''Ugh, Skype makes my computer soooooo slow.''
5. ''Drinks cost a whole 8 euros? Lame.''
6. ''Damn, the Metro only runs until 1:30 am. I have to take a cab.''
7. ''I'm so tired from traveling to Italy, Portugal, England, Morocco...''
8. ''My señora gives me too much food.''
9. ''I can't figure out where to buy nailpolish remover.''
10. ''Netflix doesn't work in Spain!''
11. ''Hulu doesn't work in Spain!''
12. ''That free shot hardly had any alcohol in it. Boo.''
13. ''I missed my siesta and now I'm cranky.''
