EVEN the most liveable city in the world has a few niggling drawbacks.

Our distance from the rest of the world, obsession with footy and immersion in snooty latte-or-nothing alleyway culture is great most of the time, but can pose a few awkward curveballs.

From not having Sizzler to having Shane Warne, here are 25 uniquely Melbourne problems.

1. Having to explain to Americans that you’re not from Melbourne, Florida.

2. Getting Netflix later than the rest of the world and having to make up for lost time.

3. Driving to Mildura and realising that, if you lived in London, you’d be in Paris by now.

4. Getting no sleep whenever a major international sporting event is on.

5. Trying to find extra space in the cupboard for your 15th bottle of cheap, high quality wine.

6. Asking Google for directions from Cheltenham to Croydon and getting some UK rubbish.

7. Harbouring a dark, hidden love for our sordid gangland history.

8. Being vain enough to pay $3.20 for bottled water that comes out of taps free, and is the best in the world.

9. Being taunted by snowmen and Santa’s sleigh while bushfires are raging over Christmas.

10. Knowing Australian rules football should be the world game but watching it lose out to ballet. Sorry, soccer.

11. Paying an amount for a dilapidated shack that could buy at least four dilapidated chateaus in France.

12. Having the name of your school come up in conversation for the rest of your life.

13. Getting an auto-correct spasm every time you try to text “Wurundjeri Way” or “Birrarung Marr”.

14. Knowing that, like Pokemon, you will never find every hidden bar in the CBD.

15. Getting blank looks when you use the phrases “Straight to the pool room” and “Tell him he’s dreaming” overseas.

The Castle - pool room moments Since the release of The Castle, phrases such as "How's the serenity?", "This is going straight to the pool room" and "Tell him he's dreaming" are now a firmly entrenched part of Australian cultural lingo

16. Subconsciously arranging your love life around who follows the right team.

17. Dealing with prima donna baristas.

18. Having to own Shane Warne.

19. Pretending to have a strong opinion on the East West Link but not really understanding what it’s about.

20. The freezing five minutes before the car heater warms up in July, and the boiling five minutes before the aircon revs up in January.

21. Being angry that, although it now appears to be going out of business, Sizzler survived in Queensland for years.

22. Knowing the closest major international centre is Christchurch, and it’s still 2400km away.

23. Hating cyclists, except when you’re going for a ride.

24. Having thick-glasses-wearing colleagues constantly ask who’s on Q&A this week.

25. Having winters not quite cold enough for suburban snow and summers not quite hot enough to be uninhabitable.
