DIY Element: spend too much money on a pair of jeans, buy 8 more pairs of the same brand because they make your butt look awesome; wear original said pair of jeans for less than one year before they rip and fall apart in embarassing places, repeat, simultaneously, with the other 8 pairs; write strongly worded email to company who makes said pair of jeans explaining your loyalty, but that the quality issue was upsetting and, in effect, unconscionable since they charge so much for their produce; receive back a stock email response and no apology; refuse to ever buy another pair of their jeans ever again; pick up scissors, turn them all into jeans minis.
