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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe now you can reflect on how absurd it is to spend $300 on Jeans that are ripped, simply because they are "trendy"...

Yup. Your granny sounds like she rocks! Credit goes to Granny Shuttup about your preppy little jeans and be grateful you have a grandmother who still loves you despite you being a douche bag and all that.

Meh, this trend is a product of sheer laziness. I rip all of my jeans the old-fashioned way: taking nasty spills off of mountain bikes, roughhousing with friends, playing sports, etc. You don't have to shell out hundreds of bucks to look like a juvenile delinquent, and you get to have memories and scrapes to go along with your holey jeans.

Oh for the love of everything, YOU didn't spend the $300, the OP did. Maybe they had some sort of sentimental value or maybe everyone in the world isn't "of the land' or whatever. I mean, I wouldn't, but people do. Anyway, I do think it's kind of cute that your Grandma patched them up. Can't you unpatch them?

if it had sent. value, OP would not have mentioned the price. And don't act like you wouldn't buy such overpriced, pre-damaged jeans because the way you write, you sure do.

Apparently typing correctly automatically makes one out to be a douche.

i think they might look cool like that, too. if pre-ripped jeans are supposed to make them look worn, patched-up jeans should do the same.

Fail. Be thankful you have jeans and a nice grandmother.

Your grandmother was being nice. And that aside, you deserve it if you ACTUALLY think it's a good idea to pay $300 for a pair of jeans. Sure, I have a designer jacket, only 2 others in the world, probably worth $700 (I think that's how much it cost, anyways), but I only bought it because it was on sale, for $50.

Oh damn. Cool kid, right here.

Only two others in the world... For 50$? Who is the designer, your mother?
