Yesterday, the TV wouldn't connect to the WiFi and I couldn't watch Netflix. I had to reconfigure the connection using the remote.

  Shouldn't the remote have done the reconfiguring for you?  :'(

When I got to the classroom at college this morning, I found that someone had already taken the chair that I like. I had to make do and sit in another chair.

  We in the developed world should never have to "make do."  :'(

But why was the reconfiguration necessary in the first place? Surely there must be someone I can sue.

  But if you sue, you'll have to pay a lawyer.  :MLA:   It seems you just can't win!  :'(

  Nobody talks about the burden of too many choices.  We really need to talk about it.  :'(

No unsweetened soya milk at the local shop.  Had to have sweetened.  Not sure I can cope with the strain.

  I'll have to work for at least 15 more years to qualify for maximum Social Security benefits. 
   Assuming there will even be Social Security benefits left after all these old people spend it!  :'(

Had a strange dream that I lived in a country that didn't have universal free healthcare.  Woke up not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
