Definition: The melodramatic suffering exhibited when minor inconveniences disrupt a life of extreme luxury. Typically involves tears, tantrums, or legal threats over issues like delayed sports cars, wrong gift brands, or temporarily inaccessible vacation homes.
This agony is wildly disproportionate to the actual problem, often baffling ordinary observers. The distress stems not from hardship, but from the unbearable sting of unmet, extravagant expectations – like sobbing because your imported chocolates turned out to be soap, or raging over rebuilding a parking lot that dared to have corners.
Example:
He dissolved into tears and threatened to sue the dealership because his new Ferrari arrived a week late, missing his weekend in Monaco.
She threw a tantrum and fired the contractor because the heated marble floor in her ensuite bathroom malfunctioned for a single day.
