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"...

Eh! That sucks.. I own expensive jeans and I would be highly upset if someone altered them in any way.. Forget what everyone says that really sucks! =/

121, I'm saying that this is a judge-y judge-y site. Now you're judging who everyone else gets to judge. Do you see my point?

Haha, I think this is funny. But was also very nice of your Grandmother to do something like that. She saw a tear, and she thought let me fix it. On another note, let the person buy whatever kind of jeans they want. If it is your money, and it makes you happy...go ahead and buy them.

There's a show for douchebags like this. It's called "Tool Academy". Maybe you should sign up. Then you could show the world how cool you are for buying $300 limited edition ripped jeans. Quit trying to be so trendy.

You deserved that, you're an idiot for spending that much on a pair of jeans. They're not more rugged or comfortable than a $40 or $50 pair of jeans, they only thing they have on them is that they make you look like a douchebag. Not buying into stupid trends doesn't make you poor, it makes you reasonable enough to know that they're stupid investments. Buying shit like this will not help the economy since it puts forward the message that spending that much on frivolous items is ok, and it's not.

hahahaha the comments on this are funnier than the story. and all 129 of the comments before me are right i feel like this person only posted this to brag about themselves, even though no one on here will ever know who they are

Okay, seriously guys? Her money, she can legitimately spend it. Not that I'd ever spend even $60 on a single item of clothing. I get all my clothes from stores whose quality I can be sure of (so they don't fall apart in a few weeks like most of what Wal-Mart sells), but most of my jeans are $30 or less a pair. Also, to the OP: it's not like you can't cut the threads, don't bitch about something that's an easy fix.

Ahh, leave it to the internet to comment about the price of clothes. "OLOL I CAN FIND JEANS FOR $10 AT WAL-MART!" So can everybody else. People just don't buy them because they're terrible.
