Get the problematic mug.The lesser known working title to Canadian singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette's hit song "Ironic".
Many have been confused as to the choice of ironic as the songs title when the lyrics are more unfortunate than ironic.
In fact there in lies the only thing ironic, it was written by someone who didn't know the definition of irony.

If you read through the lyrics you can clearly see where she was coming from with "First World Problems" as the working title as seen below;
1)It's like rain on your wedding day
2)A traffic jam when you're already late
3)It's a free ride when you've already paid
4)It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
5)A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
That being said, having the song contain a verse about a husband "kiss(ed) his kids goodbye" get on a plane and have it crash is neither a First World Problems, unfortunate or ironic. It's just messed up.

Get the pink pussy problems mug.Unrealistic or nonsensical word or story problems, routine and nonroutine, that may or not be solvable—however, most of them serve to humorize, parodize, or satirize mathematics.
One question from “The Bigly Book of Fake Math Problems” is the following: “At a Trump rally, if 10 coronaviruses infect 10 diehard supporters in 10 minutes, how many of these foreign viruses will be needed to infect 100 supporters in 50 minutes?”

Get the Fake Math Problems mug.White boy problems are not real problems except for certain mostly middle class white men who are suburban home owners. While rare in non-whites, all Realtors, regardless of race seem to have them, and it has been noted to occur in virtually all suburban men in Des Moines, Iowa, regardless of race. These problems center around yard care, having the exact right glass for any cocktail, and having the right home electronics. It isn't clear if white boy problems are a consequence of sexual dysfunction, or are a psychological compensation for not getting laid enough.
Ted, "is Randy coming"
Fred, "no, he had a bunch of White Boy Problems stack up and is skipping the tailgating, and probably the game too."
Ted, "No way"
Fred, "He has a full day, a seminar at Williams Sonoma on proper beer mug frosting, his favorite author is autographing his latest yard care book at Barnes and Noble, and The Sharper Image is releasing a new manually operated Nose Hair Trimmer. Randy thinks it will cut down his carbon footprint."
