don't you dare mess with my jean machine!

So, distressed at the thought that I'm still wearing a clothing item or two I had in college, last week I went out and got a brand spankin' new pair of jeans! Sure, I went to the mall and dropped some hard earned cash on jeans from a chain store, but in my defense, they were on sale!

Anyway, here's the thing. After a few days of them sitting in a bag on the floor of my apartment, I finally get around to wearing the jeans. They fit, I think they look good, I put my hands in the pockets and WTF?!?! (pause for dramatic effect) There was an opened pack up chewing gum in the back pocket!!! (can you see my fearful surprise by my use of exclamation points?) I toss the offending gum pack, and wash my hands an remove the jeans. But now what?

A million thoughts run through my head. Did someone wear these with the tags on, only to return them after a night of jean wearing? Did they wash them before they returned them .(the gum pack was pretty beat up.) Are there any known diseases communicable through jeans? (okay, so it was like 3 or 4 thoughts.)

Then after the panic subsided, I remembered that I've worn vintage and second hand clothing before. But that's not what I exchanged money for when I went to the damn mall and walked into that chain store (which shall remain nameless). If I wanted second hand, I would've went to Black Market!

So, now the dilemma. Do I return the jeans? Demand my money back and boycott the store. Or suck it up and just wash the jeans. They did look good on me. Other jeans make my but look huge. ;)
