I have "cup of cold water" problems

[drwex]

It's become an accepted meme to talk about one's difficulties as "first world" problems, to emphasize that although they're personally significant they're not on the scale of death or destitution a person without our level of resources might experience.

Well. You know what happens if you dump a cup of cold water on a cat? It's not going to kill the cat; it's not even going to injure the cat. But man, that's going to be a miserable, hissy, spitty animal.

I have cup-of-cold-water problems, and if I've hissed or yowled at you lately, I'm sorry.
