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"...

who cares if they were $300, what if the poster just loves clothes more than beer or television (#35).

I love chips more than TV or beer - I still wouldn't buy a $300 prechewed designer bag of chips

"Today, I helped my grandson/granddaughter sew up his/her ripped jeans and never got a thankyou. FML" Why is everyone ripping on the OP for buying 300$ designer jeans? Money is for spending. An object is worth as much as one is willing to pay for it, that's how the world works. 300$ isn't a lot of to pay for something that one wants.

i agree with #134 who cares if he spent $300 on jeans. i'd spend $300 on jeans if i had that money, those jeans are really nice. calling him lame because he spends $300 on jeans? dude, the guy probably has more sense of style than your walmart-shopping ass!

My gf's father spilt wine (rosso--red) all over my $250 Diesels on the first day I owned them. Thank God it washed out.

Huh. Both of my grandmas express the same desire to patch up my jeans. One of them patched up my dad's jeans in the 90's when he wore real cool ripped jeans. Oh well. xD.

I think the REAL FML story is "I paid $300 for jeans with holes in them"

buy cheaper jeans and make the holes yourself, it's really not that hard. and if you can't cut holes in pants "artistically" enough yourself, i'm sure you can find a friend who can do it for you. it's not worth the money. most of us don't make enough money to blow $300 on one article of clothing and somehow we manage. i'm sure you will too.

And this is why you don't waste $300 on JEANS!!
