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"...

I feel sorry for the poor people who want 300 dollar jeans but cant afford them so they bitch on this website. Who cares if their parents love them more than your parents love you. I have party cloths too. Sometimes its nice to not look like a bum when you go out at night. I would be so mad if this happened to me. I even hide my clothes my my mom so she doesnt clean them wrong.

wait.. your parents buy your clothes? pathetic. Maybe once you actually have to work for your money, you might not want to waste it on such crap even if you could afford it.

You remind me of my cousin, who was 15 when this happened. She saw me wandering around in an old pair of jeans with faded spots and blots of beige paint (they're my work jeans, I'd painted the living room a few days before and was washing the car when my cousin stopped by). A few days later my aunt called us, freaking out because my cousin had used her credit card to buy 250€ "vintage" jeans with fake paint blots and faded bits. My jeans cost 20€. #248: so you wear ripped and faded clothes to NOT look like a bum when you go out...?

What's it like not living in the real world, when all you have to worry about is jeans?

The only proper solution to this is to have all your pants taken away for a week. I'm sure you'll find that it's good to have jeans at all, which many people don't. Also, buying pre-torn jeans for that exorbitant a price is not only extravagant, it's a complete waste of money.

and just think, you could've had 30 pairs of jeans with your OWN holes in them, instead you have 1 pair of patched jeans and probably around 30 holes in your brain judging from...nevermind.

You should pay your grandmother $300 for her labor, not to mention thank her for her efforts. She's not going to be around forever, and the day she is gone you will remember how you publicly complained on fmylife.com that her patching your designer jeans was a bad thing. IMHO, your jeans just became a priceless, sentimental, family heirloom that will forever remind you of your grandmother and her kindness.

Well, it was sweet of her. Don't buy jeans with holes in them; only ass holes do that.

Why would you spend $300 on jeans anyway?
