Family heirloom

By Anonymous - 27/01/2021 02:01

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 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

Mopping mad

Today, my brand-obsessed sister bought $200 shorts. She was cutting the tag off of them in the kitchen and left them on the counter. I went into the kitchen, poured me some coke, and spilled it all over the counter. I thought the shorts were a rag. FML

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

Sounds like your grandmother has a lot more sense than you do. Keep wearing those jeans. Make sure to tell anybody who comments this story. Order some business cards cards online, like maybe 500 or so. Just leave them blank except for this: http://www.fmylife.com/money/203751

#242: The key word there is "nice," which can't really be used to describe torn up old jeans. And before you persecute me for using those words, think: ripped means torn up, vintage means old, so the OP spent $300 on torn up old jeans.
