We’ve all got problems, usually related to tack, baling twine, horse poop, dirty cars, or entry fees. But this week, a fair share of Jumper Problems have been trying to navigate the NBC Olympics apps, streaming, and results. We feel your pain, Jumper Nation. I mean, they’re first world problems. But still.
This sad person, who thinks Jumping is boring:

(also, Synchronized swimming is not boring either. That bling and those moves are ridiculous.)
When no one knows your sports heroes:
I know #EquestrianJumping isn't that mainstream but all you Canucks better be supporting Eric Lamaze run in the finals at #Rio2016 Go #can

People who get real mad that the horses don’t get the medals (someone tell him he’s the 46,853rd person to make this joke on Twitter):
So the horses get the medals, right? #EquestrianJumping #Rio2016

When you have straight up streaming probs at the worst possible moment:

When you someone’s posted an awesome clip and you get this error:
When you have to give the backstory to a layperson and your crazy is showing:

…after her story she asked, "Are you crying?"#CAN— JC (@JCTango) August 19, 2016
When your boy is IN IT and you’re dying:

My heart cannot handle the excitement from the #EquestrianJumping final! Does a pounding heart count as cardio for the day? #TwoHearts ??❤️?

When they talking ’bout your boy in another language and you want to like it, but you’re not sure if it’s good or bad: (There’s a ‘magnifique’ in there but also a ‘tragedie’, so I’m out.)
Eric Lamaze qui revient au plus haut niveau c'est magnifique! Et c'est amplement mérité après la tragédie qu'il a vécu.??#EquestrianJumping
