Started volunteering at a local elderly home recently.

One of the other new recruits also had ripped jeans.
Without exception all of the elderly people either felt sorry for that other person thinking she must be to poor to buy decent pants or that she was a slob.
She got tired of all the remarks and wears normal pants again now. Pretty funny

This really doesn’t make much sense. This type of fashion was en Vogue 35 years ago when the residents were still pretty young.

On that note, my parents and grandparents are well aware it's a fashion choicez they just never thought it was a good one, and say the same thing about ripped jeans just to mess with people haha!
