my favorite sweater is a giant fisherman sweater that I stole from a boyfriend in college and it had been his dad’s before that. It is in better shape than literally any other sweater I have bought since then

I can’t remember exactly when I first encountered the idea but it was after Apple had released at least a few different iPhone versions. And it’s not just you, it’s infuriating!
