still loosing my mind over the friend who casually announced that £250 is the right amount to spend on one pair of jeans because then ‘they don’t wear out’ and then, when myself and another friend were shocked at this price estimate, looked at us as if we were illiterate peasants for not doing this ourselves

(because tumblr is tumblr I should clarify: I don’t believe spending £250 on one pair of jeans classes you among the super-wealthy or somehow morally deficient, I just don’t think it should be beyond the realms of human belief to realise not everyone can afford to do so.)

#the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness #(although I kinda suspect £250 buys you just as good a pair of jeans as somewhere around the £100 mark tbh)#anyway usually she’s the nicest person in the world but I am flummoxed someone can say ‘£250 for a standard pair of jeans’#with a straight face #and then not get that maybe this isn’t everyone’s common experience
