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"...

I don't think Apple users have any right to berate others for overspending.

Not true. People who buy the "new fancy" iPhone everytime it comes out have no right to talk. But personally I prefer the simplicity of the iPhone even though I hate macs with a burning passion for the same reason... Too simple and overpriced. I got my iPhone 5c for 120 bucks Canadian and that's pretty damn cheap. I don't have money to waste on new phones or dumb jeans, my parents bought me a pair of $100 jeans once. I took them back. My favorite pair of jeans cost 47 cents... Just take that in 47 cents is more comfortable (and stylish in my opinion) than 100 bucks.

I'm going to second, third, twenty second, that your grandma was trying to be nice. And also suggest you reprioritize your life. Grandma is more important than 300 dollar jeans. You'll miss her more, when she's gone.

You have my sympathy. I understand how difficult a situation like this can truly be.

You people overreact. It IS pretty shitty to spend $300 on jeans and then have someone ruin them (even if it's unintentionally!) Stop the entire "morality" deal, yes maybe they're lucky to still have a grandma and yes maybe the money could be spent on better things, but I don't see all of you donating almost all of your money to charity. Some people like to spend money on designer clothing, big deal.

That's what you get for buying lame ass jeans. Want them to look "rugged" and "cool"? Do what everybody else does. WEAR THEM.

yea, your whole life is definitely ****** because your grandmother was trying to be nice by patching up a $300 pair of jeans that you chose to buy. i totally sympathize with you

Your grandma is the shit. She understands that it doesn't make sense for jeans to be torn when they are NEW. You really want torn up, faded jeans? Buy a solid 30 dollar pair and then WORK and WEAR THEM. I know it's crazy in this lazy-**** society to actually consider LIVING life, but maybe it would save you tons of money that could have been better spent on just about anything

Your Grandma comes from a simpler time, when jeans were tough, what you paid for, and patched up by your mother when they ripped because they didn't have the money to go waste on more shitty vintage jeans http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=jeans #45 No, I won't stop the morality thing. You could have bought ACTUALLY ripped jeans for $12 at a thrift store and given $288 to charity, or saved it, or spent it on stuff that made you not look like a douche.
