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"...

HAH! #12 couldn't have put it any better. Your FML should've been "I thought spending $300 on jeans was a good investment."

You commenters are so stupid. Just because your small minds can't tell the difference between designer jeans and jeans from Walmart doesn't mean that there is none...it just means that you have a nonfunctional eye for detail. Anyway, it's very likely that the OP is not filthy rich...otherwise s/he'd just run out and buy another $300 pair instead of agonizing about it over the internet.

Hi there, long time reader first time poster ... I actually just signed up for this website for the sole purpose of letting you know that you have just failed miserably at life. I hope you are proud of yourself. You paid $300 for vintage(old) designer(overpriced) ripped(destroyed) jeans. And the reason they are limited edition is because you will pay so much for them they only have to make 200 pairs to pay their rent for the year. Go trip and fall on some razor blades. kthxbye

This isn't an FML; this is just a misunderstanding with no real lasting consequence. Why does it matter if the jeans were patched up or not unless you were going to sell them to someone else who might (for whatever reason) be willing to pay more than $300 for them?
