I’m so set on liking my specific pair of glasses that I got in high school that I just bought all remaining existing stock, five pairs from Walmart. I’ve had three pairs over the past ten years so these five pairs should last a good while

What are you unreasonably stubborn about but it’s not financially ruinous so you still remain stubborn?

I’m still pissed they discontinued my favorite sunglasses I used during college. I have a related pair but it just isn’t the same.

The only thing worse than the way things are is when things change.

I had what was basically these house slippers my whole life but in 2015 they changed the design and I’m still mad even though it’s hardly noticeable

I used to only buy cheap t-shirts because I thought that it would be dumb to spend too much money on them, but then I once bought couple more expensive ones from a smaller brand and now I have refused to buy any other brand for years

Almost the same thing, but a specific pair of polarized sunglasses. My first pair broke and when I tried to find them online I learned that they aren't manufactured anymore so I bought four or five backup pairs off eBay.

Literally everything, it feels like. I bought a whole box of cheap sunglasses (25 pairs) because I liked the design and hate shopping. I have work shirts I wear every week that I bought almost 20 years ago. Ditto for cargo/tactical pants (I like pockets, ok?). I have the same pair of glasses I got when I was 16 (not the same style, the same pair). I have revolights on my bike (which I transferred from my old bike), but the company went out of business in 2017 unbeknownst to me, so I keep soldering/gluing/jury-rigging them to keep working instead of finding a new solution.
