First World Guilt

Describes the situation in which one is about to throw some shit away then imagines a kid in Africa in a predicament of exaggerated poverty: dirt huts and all, causing said person to think twice about throwing that shit away.

Guy 1 stares at his somewhat empty plate of food. He’s full. The amount of food that’s left isn’t really enough to justify saving it for later, but it’s still enough for one to consider continue finishing it.

Guy 1 just decides to get up from the dinner table and throw it away. As he walks over to the trash can and opens it, he pauses. Guy 2 notices.

Guy 2: “You good?”
Guy 1: “Just.. feeling that first world guilt”
Guy 2: “Dude you’re a bitch.”

brain drain guilt

The guilt that comes with leaving your city for a more affluent area after college, despite the best attempts of your professors and others to prevent it.

Paul: "I had this crazy dream last night. I was on trial for planning to move to Chicago, but the jury was made up of my professors. When the judge asked for the verdict, one of them stood up and said, "We have no verdict. We're just extremely dissappointed in him."

Bob: "Sounds like you have a serious case of brain drain guilt bro."
