From Wikipedia
First World problem is an informal term for the issues in First World nations that are complained about in response to the perceived absence of more pressing concerns. It has been called a subset of the fallacy of relative privation and is also used to acknowledge gratefulness for not having worse problems, such as those in the Second or Third Worlds. It has been used to minimize complaints about trivial issues and shame the complainer, to generate humour at the expense of first world culture, and as good-humored self-deprecation.
