Third world problems

Hardly third world.

The only man I have ever seen act like a complete infant was from Colombia. Spilled a drink all over furniture and then acted like nothing at all happened. Only his wife reacted to it at all.

that's a family problem not a 3rd world one

A third world problem meme would probably be a picture of a kid crying with the caption: "lost 6lbs this week".

That was delightful.

Stop that.

The problem with "Third World Problems" is that they aren't funny. It'd be like having a meme called "Cancer."

However, I did find "Third World Success" which is pretty funny, though incredibly sad when you think about it.

Here's some examples!

I tend to enjoy both since I'm probably living in a status between the two Worlds. It's quite refreshing to laugh at ourselves sometimes.

Who lives in the third world? You or me?

Africa is not the only third world you know?

Afghanistan is a third world. I iz smahrt.

I live in the third world. Buenos Aires, Argentina. It's not that bad.

This is something my mother always does to me.

I ask if she wants help.

She says no.

10 minutes later she goes on a 20 minute rant about people in the house not helping her and why the income-tax bothers her.

But this is hardly third world. Unless I'm missing something.

You can just help her without asking. Wash the dishes the next time you all eat together. Take the trash out when it's bursting. I don't know about you but I feel those kind of things are the least you can do if someone is letting you live in their house for free.

Protip for helping the woman of the house:

When you get up on weekend, resist the urge to go to computer.

Do these things as fast as you can:

Vacuum floor
Cat litter and trash cans
Laundry
Tidy living room area
Pick up dog shit in the yard if you have a dog.

20 minutes of chores without being asked/prior discussion is equivalent to 60 minutes of chores after nagging in terms of woman-points.

~~Edit~~

Avoid doing the dishes if woman is J-type because perhaps you don't do them properly. Think of other ways to be helpful. Being helpful isn't displacing somebody from their chores it's reducing the list of chores that need to be done.

That's smart. But most mothers wake up before their sons in the weekend.

Indeed. I have no clue how that makes it any more difficult to identify chores that aren't yet complete though. Perhaps, a teenager who is interested in pleasing his mother might have the discipline to get up by 8:30 on a Saturday just to get his chores done with.

The problem I've noticed is that teenagers need so much direction. They can't realize that doing a different chore is 3x more helpful than attempting to assist with a singular chore or even displace somebody from their chores.

For example, the boy in the cartoon in the OP ... expressed a facade of wanting to help, for selfish reasons. If you notice, he walks away immediately as soon as mother doesn't have a task for him. This is the chief problem in the scenario. The boy should find a job, do it, find another one, do it, then walk away. He doesn't need mother's approval or direction.

Asking for approval or direction takes away from the legitimacy or authenticity of the offer; it is less genuine and more subservient. It is a sign of immaturity which mother does not have interest in.

Oh also, I have no kids so I am actually making this up.

Blame it on my Ni.
