Miscellaneous: Today, I decided to propose to my girlfriend on the Charles Bridge...

Today, I decided to propose to my girlfriend on the Charles Bridge in Prague. A little boy thought it would be fun to chase a flock of pigeons towards me. I freaked out and dropped the 2 carat diamond ring. Into the river. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. When she saw the ring, she got so excited that she ran to kiss me and it flew out of my hand, over the balcony of our suite, and fell roughly 45 stories straight down. I could feel my wallet screaming as a £4000 diamond vanished into the night. FML

Today, I finally plucked up the courage to propose to my girlfriend of 7 months. I took her out to the park where we had our first kiss, I got down on one knee, and before I could say, "Will you marry me?" a bird shat on my head. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend on my boat at the lake. As we were looking at the mountains all around us, she playfully pushed me off the side into the water. As I got back on the boat, I realized that not only was my cellphone dead, but the ring had fallen into the deep water. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I got reservations for a romantic dinner, and at the end, fireworks would spell out my proposal. The whole thing had taken weeks to plan out and had cost me a lot of money. She proposed to me at a subway station first. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with the cliché of the diamond ring in a champagne glass. Apparently there was an off-duty police officer across the room watching me slip the ring into the glass. He thought I was slipping in a date-rape drug and tackled me down before I could propose. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. At the right moment, I got down on one knee. As I was reaching into my pocket to get the ring, she got so freaked out she kicked me in the face. I chipped a tooth and the ring flew off, and now I can't find it. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 3 years finally proposed to me at the park we first met in. As I was about to say yes, a huge fly flew straight into my mouth. I ruined the moment by choking on it and eventually spitting it out on him. I think he's rethinking the proposal. FML

You let pigeons scare you ... You could kill an infinite amount of pigeons if you were to fight them. Next time, go down heroically. There will be statues with your demeanor biting off pigeons their heads.

That really sucks. :( Hopefully you either had it insured, or you bought it with a credit card that will cover loss/theft. Hopefully you can get most/all of the money back. Did your girlfriend say yes?

Dude, being attacked my birds isn't fun. Pigeons become less scared of humans, and they can attack. You know that they can easily claw your eyes out and scratch and peck at you. So don't talk about his man hood in that manner, 'cause truthfully, when animals are scared they can become very aggressive and dangerous. So insulting the OP gets you nowhere, and I hope everyone thinks you're a huge pussy when you get attacked by a flock of pigeons and can't fight back.

Dude, get yourself a metal detector and dive into that pond and dig for that mofo. If water police can find a 6 shooter in a river, you should be able to find a ring if you're careful. Good luck

Should've clocked the little brat for ruining such an important moment. Hire divers to locate your ring, and do it fast. With luck, they'll be able to recover it. It was an accident on your end, your girlfriend will understand. Or I guess it should be fiancee now, if she said yes despite the absence of ring.
