Today, my grandmother ripped her pants. We all got a big view of her pink thong. FML
Today, I asked my grandmother to hem my prom dress for me. I'm her oldest granddaughter so I thought she'd be happy to do it. She said no. Her occupation is a seamstress. FML
Today, I spent my afternoon rummaging through old jeans and other pants, due to being broke and needing cash for ramen. FML
Today, some idiot introduced my grandmother to yoga pants. FML
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"...

$300 is a lot, but it's her money, not yours. I hate judgmental people. Anyway, this sucks, but she WAS just trying to be nice.

By saying you hate judgmental ppl... Doesn't that make you judgmental by judging them based on their judgments? Do you therefore hate yourself?

We're not being judgmental, we just don't get why anyone would pay $300 for RIPPED jeans. Do you expect us to feel sorry for them because their overpriced britches got sewn up?

You're not just an idiot for buying $300 jeans, but for buying $300 USED jeans. "Vintage" is just code for "old and used." And "pre-ripped"? You're lame.

hahahahahahahaha. that is NOT what vintage means! vintage just means they kind of look old timeish like 50's 60's not used!

Actually, vintage implies that the item in question is from the 1980's at the very latest, so it's likely that something vintage is used, because who buys a pair of jeans in 1980, then throws it in the closet for 30 years without wearing them once? :) Of course, it's entirely possible that the jeans are not truly vintage and someone is a cheat/very stupid and marked them as such in a ploy for more money.

oh that sucks!! ew why would someone buy jeans from walmart

because a lot of people don't have the money to buy a $300 item that would be used everyday, let alone a pair of jeans which would be worn occasionally.

Give me 10 bucks, I'll go to the op shop get you your 'vintage' jeans then I'll rip the jeans for you personally.

Ahahahaha!! That is hilarious. I am a seamstress in a tailor shop and I see those kind of pants all the time. I think they are incredibly stupid. $300 for a pair of ripped up jeans that you could have paid $5 at a second-hand shop for, what a rip-off.

Agreed :) it's always fun to go to some thrift store or goodwill or something and find some expensive, high end, brand name item for 5-7 dollars.

Yeah. I found a Guess jacket at a goodwill outlet store. Those go by the pound. I would never pay 300 bucks for a jacket, but hey 4? Heck yes lol

you moron. by buying jeans like that, you're trying to prove to everyone that you're like the working class of america, who's jeans get like that due to use over and over again, not buying them pre-worn FAIL and btw, this isn't fml worthy. more like, "I'm a moron" worthy

who pays ******* 300 dollars for a pair of cheap knock offs? i'll bet my 12 dollar jeans from Wal Mart will outlast your knock off jeans. mine probably look better to.

"Vintage" and "designer" shouldn't be in the same sentence. Whatever, it's your money, but it sounds really silly to me.
