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"...

YOU TELL 'EM, 143! 134, you're just as spoiled and stuck up as everyone else with $300 jeans. Get over it. You know, they sell Levi's at Wal-Mart. They look fine. On anyone.

#152: See, that's what I meant. As if painting your car is an, objectively seen, "better" way to spend your money than buying designer jeans. I mean, I don't give a **** about cars, much less painting one. I would never spend $300 on painting a car. Not my intention to single you out or anything... but it just goes to show that different people just spend their money on different things, and it's really not anyone else's business. As for who the **** spends $300 on jeans... well, this person, obviously, and a lot of other people too. There wouldn't be any designer clothing if no one ever bought it. And honestly I really don't think $300 on jeans is that extravagant, I've seen people spend $100 on a hair band, $300 on sunglasses, $500 on a bag... now THAT is a lot of money to spend on some clothing. Don't even get me started on how much money people can spend on dresses or shoes. But hey, if they wanna do it... they earned their money, so I don't care what they spend it on, they're not hurting anyone!

I accidentally clicked "I agree". I wish I could retract it. Pre-ripped = ******* FAIL.

considering how many posts there are on this site about people getting called fat and ugly by family members and strangers, about not having friends or not being able to get a girlfriend or boyfriend, about getting mistaken for the opposite sex etc etc... i am really not surprised that most of these comments suggest wal mart jeans and are shocked at the idea of actually buying jeans that look good. and its really hypocritical that the comments are always completely sympathetic with posts about $1000 laptops, $400 iphones, diamond rings, etc, that accidentally get broken or lost. And to the guy who said.. "Damn... with $300 I can make the payment on my car and fill 'er up with gas too!" thats insane, what a waste of money when you can walk or take public transportation! It can go both ways.

''Today, my father got my 4 900$ trendy vintage-laptop-screen-with-dead-pixels-and-scratches ''fixed''. FML.'' Now that's a more acurate way to compare. OP is a douchebag, and so are you #157.

actually, djosef, it isn't. Those trendy jeans cost about $5-$10 (let's go with $10 just for the hell of it) to make and ship, so you pay 3000% it's production price. A normal, decent laptop costs probably $1000 to make (if anyone has exact values, feel free to correct me), so your damaged "vintage" laptop would cost 3000% of $1000, or in other words, $30000. Because "vintage" means made to look old, it would probably also have a device in it that reduces its power to that of a Pentium P5 (for people not familiar with it, that's a whopping 300 Mhz) Now THAT is putting it in perspective, isn't it?

#106 I agree it's good to have a nice pair of jeans to wear sometimes, you do look better, but I don't think holey ripped up jeans constitute as a "nice pair". Sometimes I feel like designers have such a good name that they've realized they can turn out complete utter shit and people will still buy it.

Who the hell spends that much money on jeans?! @#159, the most I've spent is $30 :þ

I pay for expensive jeans sometimes. (Not $300, because I don't have that much), but I can understand paying for a really great pair of jeans.
