Some typical problems that every Londoner has (more than likely) made out is the end of their world.
We’re all guilty of thinking our daily problems are some of the utter worst in the world but it all gets a little more tragic when you focus on London. Prepare for ultimate gripes about lack of macchiatos, shortage of artisan breads and the struggle of not having a pop-up to attend this weekend.
1. That dreaded silence of the tube …
That sinking feeling when you've forgotten your headphones and have an hours journey to west London #londonproblems

2. How dare a tea not be offered. Strike one.
Working in someone's gaff and they don't offer you a brew, get in the sea #Londonproblems

4. Ew human contact on public transport. So gross.
Someone touched my hand on the tube by mistake.
Going to cut that hand off when I get home. Only solution. #londonproblems #londonlife

5. Didn’t realise this was a genuine concern but all the people on the Overground do seem rather cool, don’t they?
I never feel cool enough to be on overground 🙄 #LondonProblems

6. Oh no, a further 20 paces?! We want the bus to drop us right to our doorsteps please.
Major disaster; I got off the bus one stop too early, so now have a whole 20 paces further to walk home. #LondonProblems #FirstWorldProblems

7. So many exhibitions, so little time.
Similarly, no idea when I'll fit in all these Russian Revolution exhibitions. #LondonProblems

8. Probably one of the worst feelings in the world ?
Nothing feels more middle class than looking forward to avocado on toast & poached eggs and the avocado not being ripe #FirstWorldProblems

10. We all become Olympic sprinters during rush hour, don’t worry.
When your commute includes a daily 45 second sprint from one end of Clapham Junction to the other during #rushhour !!! 😂😓🤤 #londonproblems

11. When your macaroni and cheese is getting cold and the person in front can’t decide on what plant milk to have in her latte ?
