Today, while I'm in the depths of postpartum blues and insecurities, my grandmother in-law gifted me a size 22 pair of jeans that does not fit her. I'm a size 12. I started crying and fake choked so that nobody would notice. FML
Today, I got the dress I gave to a tailor to replace a broken zipper back. When I tried it on, I discovered that they’d cut at least 4 inches of fabric, and being skinny, there’s no way I can ever fit into it. It’s from the 1950’s, inherited from my late grandma, who in turn inherited it from her aunt. FML
Today, I enjoyed a lovely family dinner, but my irritating grandma kept trying to buy my purse off me, and kept picking it up to look at it. When I got home I realized all my cash and cigarettes were gone. FML
Today, I found out my grandmother doesn't wear underwear when she bent over in front of me in her inappropriately short nightgown. FML
Today, at work, the seat of my pants ripped open. A coworker lent me a pair of his back-up jeans, and then those ripped in the crotch. FML
Today, I found out that my mother intentionally donated the quilt that I had made for her, because, "It didn't match anything". That was $70 worth of fabric and 7 and a half weeks spent on that handiwork of mine. FML

Maybe now you can reflect on how absurd it is to spend $300 on Jeans that are ripped, simply because they are "trendy"...

so I don't buy jeans for less than $200 because they last longer and they are cute I'd just try to buy new ones if I were you.

Well, sorry that some people have good taste and try to look presentable to the world. If I HAD $300 to spend on some Trues or 7s, I would totally do it. FHL for her grandma and you people judging her on the clothes she chooses to buy. I'd be pissed if ANYONE touched ANYTHING that I owned for any reason, even it's to fix it, without telling me first.
VeganVampyre 26
Believe it or not, you can have good taste AND look presentable without spending 300$ on your entire outfit, let alone one item of clothing. How ******* shallow and materialistic are you that you think you need 300$ designer jeans in order to look good? I mean, really? To me, an expensive pair of jeans is like 60$, 300 is ridiculous. They're not made any differently than 20$ jeans from Walmart, they just have a different label sewn on them, so what are you wasting all that extra money for?

I agree, I'm lucky to be able to afford cheap jeans (barely) and they are still presentable. OP's post is like a slap in the face for people who actually struggle to get by. Complaining about spending 300 dollars on a pair of jeans.
Julian_s1234 11
Just because they have 300$ and you don't shouldn't cause negativity
Julian_s1234 11
Not really because jeans of that price point are hand made, hand stitched and have higher quality materials being used.
Julian_s1234 11
They are made different stop trying to sound smart. Smh. 200$ is fine if thats what they're willing to spend. Who told you to judge based on what they can afford. Trues and other jeans of that caliber are hand made, hand stained hand stitched and use higher quality materials. So they are different than your trailer trash walmart jeans.

If your fortunate enough to have the extra money to buy them then why not...poor people saying "that's rediculous" cuz they jelly
mlenglish 4
Ridiculous* and 300 for jeans is ridiculous no matter how much money you have. There are a lot better things to do with it like donating. So no I'm not "jelly" that she's a dumb **** that waste money
preciousT99 4
Trueeee !
VeganVampyre 26
I'm with you, mlenglish. Why waste 300$ on one pair of jeans when you could probably find two or three really nice pairs for 100$ (if you actually needed new jeans) and then spend the other 200$ on something you actually NEED, save it, or donate it to a charity. Some people are so damn shallow...
Julian_s1234 11
Stop being a whining bitch because they are buying things with Their money. I'm not sure if you know but rich people have to wear nice lavish things, why i buy ralph Lauren not walmart. Go ahead and buy some walmart jeans. Smh. Trailer trash.

second 1. your grandma was just being nice.
phantomofmusic 0
No, her grandma wasn't just being nice. She was messing with OP's things without permission. OP deserves some respect. My mom and grandma thought it was fine to clean my desk by throwing things away, write notes on papers I was about to turn in, etc. They thought they were doing me a favor and were angry that I wasn't grateful. I was 20 then. OP probably is around that age too if the jeans were $300.

grandma donated my slightly beat up leather jacket...because she assumed its what i was gonna do with it. so i agree with 375
kims0706 10
Guys, they're grandma's, sometimes they genuinely just trying to help out, and possibly might not know the exact thing you plan to do with everything you own. I don't think you should be happy tht your grandma and mom threw your papers away, and you have the right to be angry, but don't reget the fact that they were trying to help.

Nothing says "I'm a giant douche" like expensive clothing that can be ruined by patching up a tear.

That's what you get for being a wanker that bought ripped jeans. Sucked in.

There's a good chance that you won't find much sympathy here.

Have to agree with all the other posters. Buying 300 buck jeans is a bit douchey

I don't really think 300$ for jeans is that absurd.. Most of mine are worth 200+ but I've gotten for around 100-150$. People who think 10$ jeans from Walmart are the same have never worn a pair of nice jeans, the difference in quality is amazing.
VeganVampyre 26
No. For the most part, denim is denim, and while yes, some pairs of jeans may be better quality than others, price doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. I've gotten 20-30$ jeans that were more comfortable and lasted longer than the fancy "in style" jeans I got for over 100$. When that 100$ pair fell apart, I realized it was a huge waste of money and I went back to wearing my 20$ jeans.
