first world problem

slang A frivolous issue or problem that is only a source of great concern or frustration because the speaker lives in an economically developed country; a minor issue compared to the hardships faced by those living in so-called "third world" countries. A: "I can't believe the Wi-Fi is down. What am I supposed to do if I can't watch Netflix?" B: "Hello first world problems!" I just got back from a service trip to Haiti, and things I was worried about before I left just seem like first world problems now. I know it's a first world problem, but I'm already sick of taking the bus. I can't wait to get my car back from the mechanic!
