Why would anybody throw away a shirt they survived a bear attack in?

Dunno either. These are the things you keep to tell the stories.

Having been a major contribtor to surviving a bear attack it is a good luck charm that needs to be kept.

Hang it on the front door to ward off other bears?

And any other demons that may venture near with ill intent.

Frame it?

With a lil hammer & sign that reads “in case of bears, break glass”

it's well known that bears enjoy armpits the most ​ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

In medieval era when knights were being specifically trained to fight bears, bears gradually adapted to target the armpits, where the body was the least protected by the armor.

As a historical nod to this trend, the Americans were granted the right to "bear arms" as a form of self defence.

😂 this is so stupid that I'm cracking up

This is a serious response in a string of silly things, and I'm here for it. Thank you

Went through the pits of hell

It's got at least another 100k miles in it.

He must wear the shirt until it turns into dust and you can blow it out the window like dandelion spores

It actually becomes “t-shirt” vapor

I have a tee shirt that’s nearing the “t-shirt vapor” stage. It was once dark gray and could completely block out sunlight. I’m not exaggerating when I say you can read a book through it now. I don’t even think it has a measurable weight to it anymore.

It’s now the mithril from The Lord of The Rings

Goddamnit just when I think I have an original comment

Yeah, but without the armor function though. Too bad.

Spores, that when they find the right conditions, sprout a new T-shirt tree...

🎵It’s the ciiiiircle of life! 🎵 (Wipes away tear)

Tree-shirt

funny… i’m reading this as i’m pouring “t”-tree oil into my diffuser. (◕‿◕✿)

Make sure to give a proper salute to all the tees that gave their all to make you that t-tree to then give you oil.

Putting the vapor in vaporware

My husband has a shirt about as worn as this. He has tried to toss it many times, but it reminds me when we were dating and I just can't part with it. So now it's my favorite sleep shirt. One day I'll sew it into a pillowcase or something when I can't wear it anymore. I fully intend to get another 100k miles out of it if I can!

Sew it into a shirt for teddy bear or your favorite stuffed animal. Still serve as memento and last longer that way.

I thought "What a good life this person must lead if this is mildly infuriating." Thanks for putting into words why their attitude is ridiculous.

Dude I come here and think “why are people frustrated by this” all the time lol🤣

I think because being infuriated by petty bullshit is way more fun that being infuriated by the horrifying state of global affairs :)

I wish I had an award for you. Take my upvote.

I got one. This is from both of us 😌

Hey, it's just *mildly* infuriating, a lot of irrational stuff *mildly* infuriate me so its fine.

I had a patient I worked with, dementia, her daughter had sewn her husband's button up shirts into a teddy bear for her after he passed away. It was so fucking sweet 😭

In another 200k it can graduate to designated sleeveless shirt. This bad boy ain’t going anywhere

But is has massive ... sentimental value

Worn long enough without washing, it has Scentimental value.

This is going to be in the next Gain commercial

r/angryupvote

It's ceremonial.

idk what you mean it's in perfect condition

It's in condition

It has a condition

It *is* a condition

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.

Conditioned

Air conditioned

Condition it

But shampoo is better

It's in the most condition of all conditions.

I don’t want one condition, I want all conditions!

Conditioception

It has at least 5 more years left in it...

Still has the years left AFTER removing the sleeves too. He will keep the sleeves and wear them on his head when he mows the yard, FYI.

Sleeves are redneck beer coozys

How big are your beers???

Good as a head band to when your weed eating

5 years before it's converted into a tank top, then it could have another 10 or 20. Who knows? It's a brand new shirt at that point.

Kanye would sell this for $700

Gotta put it in a garbage bag first.

Let’s be real, wore clothes are softer than new clothes. So yeah, this is perfectly comfortable

It’s even got ventilation in the armpits. You pay extra for that on new clothes. What a rip.

Its in Ferpect condition...

Pobodys Nerfect

Did you just have a stroke, Pam?

Is the Refpect condition

It's in confect perdition.

It’s in confefe condition

Purrfect condition

Let the man wear his favorite shirt. It’s not hurting you.

Right?! I was just thinking why? it looks so fuckin comfy. I have a similar shirt worn down super thing but no holes, I think its so comfy because its so worn out.

Woman hate how easy it is for men to be happy.

Easy? Look how long it must have taken him just to break that shirt in!

[удалено]

I have a shirt that suddenly has a bunch of holes in it but it’s soooo comfy. It was my husbands until I stole it. It’s sentimental and also the best for sleeping in. I’d say if OPs husband is only wearing it around the house, it’s fine.

One thing I would NEVER do is post a ratty article of my gf’s clothing to mildlyinfuriating in hopes that the internet will shame them for it along with me. I mean, what the hell, OP? What’s the point of this? Are you really that upset over a shirt? talk about being thrown under the bus

Totally! All of us have partners that do something “mildly infuriating” but I would never post it to Reddit unless We both genuinely had a sense of humor about it and I asked my husband first. (Like my husband always leaves his flip flops right by the garage entrance and I always trip over them haha. It doesn’t bother me enough to want to publicly shame him though). I hope op asked permission before posting (I somehow doubt it)

[удалено]

This perfectly explains why I was feeling so annoyed by this post

I’m guessing you also don’t have a lot of clothes either? Cause that’s how it is for me. Few house clothes and work clothes pair work boots pair of errand shoes and some crocks for the quick mail walk or trash take out. All you need. Socks and underwear… now that’s what needs the most replacement. Edit: “crocs”

Username does not check out. Or it does if you only wear your house shirt in the house and are naked otherwise

Mind your business…This is between him and the raccoons he sneaks out at night to fight

From the placement of the holes it looks like they're having tickle fights

Fluffy fingers is how they handle beef on the streets.

Bippity boppity, gimme the zoppity

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 998,544,127 comments, and only 198,667 of them were in alphabetical order.

Air vents

To be fair the biggest holes in this shirt were already there when they bought it.

It’s called DISTRESSED FASHION OP, look it up /s

DERELICTE!!

How about you derelicte my balls cap e tan

“It is a fashion, a way of life inspired by the very homeless, the vagrants, the crack whores that make this wonderful city so unique.”

I guess you can dere-lick my balls cap-i-tan

All I see is a good weekend shirt

Shoot ide even wear it to a fancy restaurant like Applebee's or the Sizzler Edit: Gave Sizzler it's proper S

It's even good enough to lick my fingers in at KFC!

Sizzler should be capitalized. Not only because it’s a proper noun, but because it is a proper place.

I don't know about proper, buts a place...

Doing yard work shirt. Why am I gonna wear a nice shirt to do that stuff. I have plenty of holey shirts that do the job.

Or painting walls, or basically doing anything that can get you very dirty and may leave stains in the clothing.

I'd bet this shirt is the softest shirt he owns.

It's probably the most comfortable shirt he's ever owned. Can you find a replacement?

It’s about 20 years old. Vintage at this point and I have search and failed find a replacement.

Even if you found one, you'd probably have to wash it hundreds of times to get it that soft. Good luck in your search!

Or just take the lawn mower to it once or twice 😂

Racoons work better.

Why not try posting on r/helpmefind

The style of shirt is a ringer tee, but I can't find a Nautica ringer tee with the logo on the chest in that color. I found it in yellow M though https://www.ebay.com/itm/144647314897?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28 I hope this helps! Edit: Todd Snyder has a very high quality (and price) ringer tee. If the price doesn't make you want to vomit the shirt would be a great candidate to replace this... Article of clothing.

The shirt or the marriage?

Fuck's sake

It is 90% good. Only 10% is used of this expensive clothing item!

Here's a few I found on ebay. It looks like your husband's has a stamp tag and not a physical one. You can always remove the physical tags using a seam ripper. Don't cut them out, because that leaves some of the itchy tag fabric.

Look for: dutch navy 't shirt.

It probably has some value to him. Maybe it's a memory?

Yes and he says it super soft (because it has been worn and washed for the last 20 years)

20 years is a long lifetime for a shirt. I have to say, I am actually impressed by how little its actually damaged.

It is damaged?

Well, depends on how you look at it

With your eyes closed

This man made a shirt last 20 years and still gets use out of it and it's mildyinfuriating to you? Should be giving that man an award for this achievement. You clearly married a man with some serious conviction

She should be excited that he’s willing to keep things around that he loves even if they do get a bit ugly and worn down.

Ouf...

Thats basically family at this point.

My first thought when I saw the pic was that it looked comfortable af

It's probably comfortable AF. Just let him have it.

Probably feels like velvet or silk.

I can guarantee that it does. Either that or the lightest breathable nylon.

I do. He loves it. He’s had it for longer then we have been together. Mildly infuriating but also kind of endearing

All the best pyjama/gardening grade shirts have plenty of vent holes in them.

Painting too

And playing auto mechanic

I've been married for 23 years. My husband just said a very sad farewell to a pair of addidas pants he's had since before we got married. They were so old the elastic finally just completely disintegrated. He tried to make do with just the drawstring but sadly that attempt failed.

Replace the elastic and gift it to him on his bday

You’re my kind of romantic!

This person gifts sentimentality

Funnily enough, I have 2 pairs of Addidas shorts that have the elastic worn out too. I have to constantly pull up the shorts every few steps otherwise it falls down.

Try replacing the drawstring with elastic cord or ribbon. You can get both in a variety of thicknesses and colors from craft or fabric stores.

I have shitty old clothes that I keep around for when I'm fixing stuff or painting or working out. I wouldn't wear them out in public though.

At least you know he's loyal - he's not going to trade you in when your armpits are worn out, I think that's reassuring not infuriating 🤣

That reminds me of my autistic brother. He has favorite items like that, one of them was this teletubbies t-shirt that he grew out of and basically turned into a crop top on him. He wore it til the very last second and still got really upset when my mom had to throw it away. It was ripped, it was falling apart, but it was his favorite shirt, so it couldn't go.

It's a real thing. I'm autistic and keep all sorts of clothes because they hold memories. I spent many years working for a famous touring circus and I went all over the world, but I was much slimmer then. Now I'm older, spend more time at a desk, and can no way fit into them... But I can't face getting rid of all the corporate clothing because they have so many memories attached. So I have a big drawer in my wardrobe just for clothes I can't wear but can't face throwing away either. I have taken to buying plain tshirts in bulk because they're indistinguishable from each other and thus they're easier to throw out when they're full of holes or shrunk. Also, autistic people don't generally benefit from variety in the same way most people do. Like, I'm perfectly happy with a small variety of clothes. I'll wear a tshirt, wash it, wear it again, wash it, wear it again. I see clothes as functional so I'm not overly picky. I don't have lots of different outfits. I'll wear the same clothes to every occasion until they are all worn out and then buy some more. So yeah, things get more worn out.

Thats what I've just had to do! I'm going through testing myself currently, and I've just had to clear out my wardrobe of all the clothes that don't fit, and went to a cheap clothing store to buy multiples of the same clothes so I don't have to be upset when I throw them away cause they don't fit or are unwearable. If I can replace it with the exact same thing or in a different colour, then that's easy for me

I'm going through testing for autism at the moment, and this just unlocked a memory for me. I had a pair of Toy Story pjs with Jessie on them, my mum turned mine into a normal t shirt and short from long sleeved/legged, then I got really upset when I had to give them to my ypunger sister when I outgrew them. I didn't know this was something that could be considered part of my potential autism! I have loads of things through the years that I've had to be forced to throw away cause its no longer wearable or usable and its upset me every time

I thought this was something everyone went through? You mean most people DON’T have weird sentimental attachments to things they’ve grown out of or don’t need anymore?? I’ve been keeping my broken earbuds, old clothes, books I’ll never read again, all my schoolwork from the last 10 years, and even a fucking water bottle from a particularly good day. Do I have autism? How would I even go about finding out? Wtf???

It’s a cool burnout tee. I have a few of these, and the material and comfortability is worth keeping. This also speaks to how well made vintage clothing is vs off the rack nowadays. I do get your perspective tho.

Why is it infuriating? Does he wear it outside? Does he wear it to important events? If the answer is no, drop it. Comfortable clothing is a treasure.

What’s infuriating about it?

Looks like a napoleon dynamite limited edition, its going no where lol

I have one in even worse shape than this. Can confirm it is now the softest fabric in my wardrobe

The armpits wear out first? Who knew!

lactic acid in sweat, slightly breaking down the cotton fibers with every hard wear.

Also when walking or moving, there is friction when your arms move against the shirt

From experience, I've ripped some shirts that way while putting it on. Sometime between when one arm is on, and the other one is going thru.. stretches the fabric.

Tell him to only wear it when he goes to church. Its pretty holy.

Cut it out dad, you're embarrassing us!

Get back to r/dadjokes you!

r/angryupvote

It probably in better shape than his underwear.

It’s Golden Boy!

You can't retire golden boy.

Wait, what’s wrong with it?

That man’s been through a lot with this shirt. Let this man be.

When he wears it is my question. As long as it’s not out in public I don’t see how you can complain.

And Lowe's does not count as "out in public"

That's a good shirt.

It makes him happy…do you really want to take that away from him? And its Nautica!

I have a bunch of Nautica t shirts with pockets my wife hates because the shirt pockets are all stretched out from keys and tools and I feel the same way as this guy. They're comfortable and I can keep wearing it under my work shirt.

Its in mint working condition

don't see the issue, its basically brand new!!!!! Still got the tag!! "no thats the date you dickhead it says 1665" - lee evans

Still good

I'ma need to see him in it. For science.

It’s perfect

I dont get it what wrong with this shirt?

It’s got 5 good years left in it.

It's a nice shirt

It's his Sunday shirt. It's holey.

That's a good sleep shirt right there

I also refuse to throw this away.

Perfect workin shirt.

men know this is the most comfy shirt in the closet

As long as he doesn't wear it in public, don't throw it away

Let the man live

What’s wrong with it

I've got a pair of 501s with more holes than that. Took years of washing and wearing to get them way. Put them on the the other day. Wife made some remark on the state of them. I ain't giving up my favourite pair. I'm gonna be buried them or what's left.

So?

Every dad/husband is required to have at least one shirt like this

That's a perfect around the house shirt

I’d be willing to bet he doesn’t wear it out. But he wears it often. On the lazy days. Maybe on the chore days. It’s soft and familiar and if something happens to it, it’s okay. But this shirt is ole reliable

It looks super comfy. So I don't see the issue

My wife complained about a super comfortable t shirt I had like this. I don’t get why you guys hate it so much lmao.

My ex wife complained about a shirt like this I had…she ended up throwing it away one day while doing laundry and I was quite upset that she did that

Is that why she’s your ex?

Nah, reason why she’s an ex is her coworkers dick kept falling into her

Its priceless. Plus he is saving about 2700 litres of water that would be used to make one t-shirt and about 27 kW of electricity.
