Do you get rid of t-shirts with tiny holes?

She sounds incredibly cheap.

DP but sounds smart to me 🤷‍♀️

It's about having self respect.

DP. Saving money and minimizing waste are sources of self respect for me.

Good thing she (and everyone else) don't care how she sounds to you.

It's sad to see someone so obsessed with trivialities.

yep, that's what it is.

If the holes are small enough, I can fix it, but otherwise, they are mostly inside shirts. I have a lot of these, too. I've started to wear an apron at the kitchen sink, but I still rub against the bathroom counter.

I tried darning one that was almost brand new the other day and it worked very well, but the t shirt had a subtle pattern, so it hid the sewing.

I’ve decided it must be the stone counter top, so I’ve decided to try to remember to tuck my shirt in while I’m cooking and/or wear an apron to see if it helps.

If that were true, the holes would be all over the shirt, but mine are always on the front waist line in exact.y the same spot.

Sounds like a bad case of belly button mites.

Always. Ugh. Nothing ratty belongs on my body, let alone in my wardrobe.
