When someone doesn't know how to properly use "First World Problems" and accidentally uses "Third" instead. Sometimes, someone named Chad is known to use the term incorrectly - then argue about it indefinitely.

The term is used ironically to describe a trivial problem which doesn't even compare to an actual Third world problem.
Only people who understand irony would get this.
