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, 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"...

Go buy yourself a brand new pair at Wal-mart for 10 dollars, and send them to me. I can put as many holes in them as you like for you, any day of the week. Tell your grandmother thank you, don't you dare make her feel bad about doing that.

Ya, I mean, come on, the price is written on the tag! -Oh wait, once you took off the tag they are the same jeans, except OP's pair was ripped and teared. You're like those morons who pay 120$+ on a cable for HD TV when the actual price is less than 2$ for no quality difference whatsoever. Enjoy bein a tool, we'll enjoy blasting your stupidity.

anyone who buys 300 dollar ripped jeans deserves to have them ruined.

oh and 134 - im not poor, but i also know I can go to Nordstrom Rack or Lohmans and buy seven jeans for $85 that are in season and in style and brand new versus going to the juicy cotour store and wasting 300 dollars on ripped jeans. I like the finer things in life but Im sensible and practical. ALSO, the fact taht her grandma is sewing things up for her makes me think she is still kinda young... and it irks me when kids inn high school blow their parents money with little to no concept of the dollar value. Im not saying this person is necessarily still in high school and i have no proof that she is too young to be making her own money but... these days, in this economy, i doubt there are many young people aking their OWN money and can afford 300 dollar jeans. Its just silly

i'm usually just an asshole when i comment, but i can't see how anyone would think you deserved this; only people jealous that you have $300 jeans i guess. in the end, clearly a bad investment.

#124: yes I do see your point, people on here get judged a lot. And I just said I'm not necessarily against people judging people. I think there are a few things that you can definitely judge people for. Just, not this.

OH lol, and hate to break it to you but im guessing it was "vintage wash" not VINTAGE. stop wasting your money (or your parents money) on clothing items because of what the tag tells you.

hahha monkey speaks you sound ridiculous...you could go to juicy couture you mean? im in my 20s and my grandmother would still patch stuff up if she found it laying around w/ a hole in it... and don't be jealous of people who can buy nicer things, it doesn't show good character.

Those of you talking about buying jeans at Old Navy/Walmart and giving the extra money to poor starving countries....honestly? Most of those poor people have no money because they work at factories producing all of these clothes don't realize that those ugly jeans at Walmart are cheap because those people are getting exploited! A little hypocritical, aren't we?

Yes. We all know that $300 jeans are made by rich fat white people in america. no way they're made by the same poor folks.

And Monkeyspeaks, what you think is in style probably isn't in style. Hate to break it to you...
