She tweeted that it was the
worst day of her life.
They didn’t have her favourite
hazelnut soy milk for her latte,
and everything was ruined.
She singlehandedly spawned
the phrase “first world problems,”
And people started saying,
“Check your privilege”
all the damned time.
She was aware of her privilege,
of course, and thought it would
be funny to exaggerate the tragedy
of a morning coffee gone slightly wrong.
It was meant to be ironic,
but some people don’t see
the humour in angry rants about
insignificant events in daily life.
They are focused only on important matters.
For example, they worry about what God
people send their prayers, what kind
of sex people are enjoying, and whether
people have acceptable clothing to
match their very real genitals.
We mustn’t be distracted by the
insignificance of coffee.
