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"...

#71 - Sorry "homie", but not everyone is "ill" and spends more money on their clothes than they do their car. I'll have you know that I buy all my jeans for $20-$40, and I'm not cheap, styleless, corny, or broke. It's called using your money like an intelligent person and buying better things actually worth that money.

Maybe you pro-'off the shelf $300 ripped jeans' folk will wake up when you see it from my perspective: "You paid $300 for damaged goods?".

Your grandma was just trying to be nice and the big "fml" for you should be realizing how stupid it is to spend $300 on RIPPED JEANS! You should tell your grandma THANK YOU for this life lesson that you really had coming!

You people just go ON AND ON about "finding better stuff to spend your money on", then use examples like, what? A car? I don't have a car, I don't need one, I use public transport. An iPhone? My $80 phone does everything it's supposed to do. A guitar? You can really do without that. You guys think you're so much better because you don't spend $300 on a pair of jeans, but until you're just spending your money to buy only the really necessary means, just to survive, and give everything else away to charity, you have NO right to talk. Just get off your high horse and let everyone spend their money the way they want to.

People really should lay off the OP. While I do agree that $300 is a bit extravagant, to each his own. Who knows if there were any special circumstances to buying these jeans or if there was any sentimental values attributed - and even if there isn't any "justification", getting something ruined is sucky nevertheless. OP, try not to be too mad/upset at your grandma for too long. She meant no harm :) (But I sympathize.)
