Today, my boyfriend proposed to me in a 24-hour taco shop, while he was wearing a tee-shirt that says "F*** Me I'm Famous." FML
I agree, your life sucks (19023) - you totally deserved it (5374)

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
First? Idk. Anyway, your pretty materialistic. As long as he loves you, i dont see the problemo.
Dont fret about wedding or picture-perfect proposals. your life will be full of stress
Hell yes, #58! Of course it matters. Women appreciate a little romance, a little thoughtfulness. He could have put SOME care into his proposal. A proposal doesn't always have to be over a candle-lit dinner with the 4-karat ring hidden in the cake, but he could at least take her for a walk on the beach or something. Is she such a bad person for wanting him to set the mood for such an important question? Presentation makes a world of difference. Typical male, wanting to put in as little effort as possible.

Today I spent 13 seconds of my life reading the shittiest FML ever. FML.
And 66 something tells me your a Twilight fan. O_o
#80 - On 10/31/2009 at 11:38pm by TheLoneWolf87
Edit: #66 is a Feminazi!!!
Targets: Anything with a penis. Or an IQ of over 3.
Typical Feminazi :P
#81 - On 10/31/2009 at 11:42pm by TheLoneWolf87
just like every female in existence, you will want your wedding to be exactly what you want, scream if you don't get it, and expect the most expensive ring in the store. You will then blame sexism on the fact that everyone thinks your a bitch
#83 - On 11/01/2009 at 12:14am by TakeItEasyPeople
#81: Something tells me you'll never get married O_o. Hope not. Your poor girlfriend, being proposed to during a commercial break with a "Wanna get hitched?" instead of a ring.
And for your information, I haven't even read Twilight.
#88 - On 11/01/2009 at 12:26am by pulpfiction
If I'm targeting everything with a penis, I can't be targeting anything with an IQ over 3, now can I be?
#91 - On 11/01/2009 at 12:56am by pulpfiction
guys, give #88 a break. While it is true that as long as there is love it shouldn't matter, the fact that he proposed at a taco place makes one wonder how much he really cares, hence how much love there really is. I think that's the concern. If he's really poor and can't afford anything else, they probably don't go out much and it can still be special. But it seems more like it was a thought between bites of taco.
Way to be a total jackass #66.
"Typical male, wanting to put in as little effort as possible."
Way to be a sexist prick.
#94 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:14am by DeathShad0
"wahhhh my boyfriend proposed to me but it wasn't the way I wanted it so I'm gonna cry about it on FML!"
Seriously, do you want some cheese for that whine?
#97 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:52am by HookEmTexas07
And FYI, #66 something tells me that your an ugly shebeast living with your mother and since your so damn hideous when someone lays eyes on you they scream" LORD HAVE MERCY" You take your feelings of lonesomeness and become an antidude shetroll.
Btw I have a girlfriend who isn't a pissed off feminazi. :/
Before I go The only thing you can target with a penis and an IQ less than 3 is you.
#119 - On 11/01/2009 at 10:21am by TheLoneWolf87
I have a feeling 91 hates all men because they have never cared (And never will care) about her. Mainly because she is probably a bitchy, ugly person, but also because of these hateful feelings. She will probably never get married, and she is full of hatred instead of trying to fix herself. And the OP needs to remember what is important in life. I mean damn, he just proposed to you and all you think about is how it could be better.
#120 - On 11/01/2009 at 10:44am by kamikazemelonman
And 93, seriously? You have never just felt spontatneous before? Sometimes you just know man, maybe this guy isnt into planning for weeks about how to propose, but cares about her so much, he just wants to propose as quick as possible. Really, a large part of life is split second decisions, but the fact that this lady put her proposal on FML worries me. For the guy.
#121 - On 11/01/2009 at 10:52am by kamikazemelonman
Well that "typical male" comment is a lil sexist and offensive Oo
#143 - On 11/02/2009 at 1:32am by dreadkid08
Fuck Me, I'm Famous is a club night at Pacha in Ibiza which David Guetta is the resident DJ.
So its not him being a dick, its him having impecible taste in club nights.
#81 I have a penis and an IQ of 133. Although my penis may be small, my huge testicles certainly make up for it.
no, that's not a feminazi. That's just a regular woman who has expectations. I mean seriously, that kind of proposal is not exactly something you'd scream "Yes!" at the top of your lungs at unless you have like no standards.
#168 - On 02/23/2010 at 9:12pm by jellyrcw11
Why? Because he proposed to her in an atypical way? So the fuck what if it wasn't at a five-star restaurant with candlesticks and a fucking grand piano playing in the background? Isn't the fact that he cares enough for her to propose enough?
If OP said no then she's a selfish bitch and the guy would be lucky not to hitch himself up to such a needy woman.
#98 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:55am by HookEmTexas07
You're complaining that your boyfriend proposed to you?
#4 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:12pm by Leon_S_Kennedy
You totally are plexico.
Or at least...
a reincarnate of plexico.
#54 - On 10/31/2009 at 7:53pm by Ohnothingreally
I would rather go for an honest and understanding guy proposing me in this scenario than an asshole who dressed up for the occassion n spent tons of money on it, but cheated on me later. If the only reason you are considering this an fml is because of the way he was dressed n the location, seriously, get real, you shld be glad that you got a proposal and learn to appreciate the feelings behind the gesture. If this guy is a jerk or a bad choice then it makes sense that its an fml
They are, guys just come in with their preconceived notions and overlook it. We shouldn't have to tell you to stop treating us like girls and handling us with kid gloves or lying to us about why you are late ect.
#133 - On 11/01/2009 at 6:40pm by willothwisp
If you really love her, you'll find out where she lives and show up at her house to tell her in person.
Otherwise, you're just all talk and no action.
#31 - On 10/31/2009 at 6:01pm by FerrariCake
I love you too? Just don't be like mistercoffee.
Also, I wouldn't advise showing up at my house uninvited. I live in Tennessee, where we shoot every living thing on our property.
#39 - On 10/31/2009 at 6:20pm by Intoxicunt
We don't shoot people for being on our property in our part of Tennessee. Interesting.
#59 - On 10/31/2009 at 8:34pm by ISellHerbs
It was a joke. But it wasn't a huge exaggeration. People get killed or hurt all the time in Tennessee for stupid reasons. The stereotype isn't that far from true.
#65 - On 10/31/2009 at 9:31pm by Intoxicunt
i dont really see the FML here...
at least you have a humorous story to tell at the wedding, because the picture in my head is really funny.
dipshit he obviously doesnt care if he isnt proposing in a nice restaurant, not a fucking taco shop idiot.
#13 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:25pm by rainbowsix
Who says you don't care if you don't propose in a nice restaurant? I certainly wasn't proposed to in a nice restaurant, and I know my husband loves me very much.
Dipshit, he obviously DOES care if he proposed to begin with.
#101 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:00am by HookEmTexas07
Does it really matter where? Maybe he just wanted it to be sudden.
Or maybe he spent a shit load on a ring and couldn't meet your "proposal standards"
Be grateful. Not a bitch.
#14 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:31pm by angryseatroll
Erm, sorry about the taco shop, but 'F*** Me I'm Famous' is the name of David Guetta's album compilations; YDI for not knowing the kind of music your bf listens to. And David Guetta is a DJ if you're ignorant on the subject.
#16 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:36pm by theislandguy
What is Dave Guetta if the OP is not ignorant on the subject? Why is Dave Guetta's profession conditional, and dependent on the knowledge of the OP?
#29 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:58pm by FerrariCake
Not knowing the name of a French electronic DJ's compilation CD does not make someone ignorant. And more than likely, it was a Famous Stars and Straps t-shirt, or some other trendy company and had absolutely nothing to do with said DJ.
#50 - On 10/31/2009 at 7:17pm by raeofsunshinexox
raeofsunshinexx - you're an idiot.
what thisislandguy meant was (i think) that if someone is proposing to you with a DJs T Shirt on (his album and club night at Pacha in ibiza are called FMIF) and you didn't know that you clearly don't know what kind of music your boyfriend likes so cleary don't know him very well.
so yes, i think it does matter that the OP didnt know.
Enough with the "my boyfriend proposed and it totally sucked" fmls. The type of proposal doesn't necessarily reflect your relationship or predict the future of your relationship either. Typical romantic proposals don't guarantee you'll be happy for the rest of your life.
#20 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:44pm by la_vie_en_rose
although i understand, at least u got a damn proposal...surprising 4 ur personality.
itll be mad funny to tell it to everyone though haha
"Honey, i need you to be with me for the rest of my life, will u marry me?"
"TACO'S UP!"
#21 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:45pm by shanisdaman
Welcome to the real world!
I suggest you stop watching movies were everything is perfect, the let down of the real world is only gonna be worse.
So? Your boyfriend has just proposed to you and you're not happy because you would have liked it done a different way? Sorry princess, not everything happens like a Hollywood movie.
#24 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:49pm by Incubuss
some of the people on here are so rude sometimes! it's a special time in your life and of course youd want it done differently. i could care less about marriage, but even i get that!
#25 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:53pm by rosemary
A romantic proposal and "perfect" wedding aren't reliable indicators of how the marriage will pan out.
#26 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:53pm by cthulhu1138
It's only an FML if you accepted.
But give the guy some credit: at least he's completely honest and you know exactly what you're getting.
#27 - On 10/31/2009 at 5:55pm by FerrariCake
he proposed at a taco bell? really? must be a special place for you both lol. you should care less about the shirt tho
Aww come on. It couldn't have been that bad. I, personally, would find it kind of amusing that my boyfriend proposed to be in a taco shop. I mean, seriously? Who doesn't like tacos? Now, if he wants the actual WEDDING to be at said taco shop, THEN you can have your FML.
#36 - On 10/31/2009 at 6:13pm by Baroness542
Guy not situation blah blah blah. This is why shows like Don't Tell The Bride piss me off. Yes, I know a wedding is supposed to be a special day, but... wait, different issue. I'm sleepy.
#37 - On 10/31/2009 at 6:15pm by BritishHobo
lmao woowww. thats an FML? xD i would crack up laughing! my boyfriend first kissed me at NTB and if your a lil priss and dont know what that is? National TIRE Battery. and we tease eachother all the time. but he did it then because the time was right. he first asked me out in the middle of the country on our way to his friends house to work on a truck. lmao. i mean, if you love him and he loves you, how is that bad? i would have still cried and said YES! and then took a bite from a taco. xD
#40 - On 10/31/2009 at 6:21pm by lilcountrygirl
Am I missing the point where your life is actually fucked? He proposed to you, didn't he?
Reality check: Not every proposal is epically thought out. Doesn't make the moment any less meaningful. I more or less expect my boyfriend to randomly purpose to me during a video game session just to catch me off guard. Not epically thought out, but still just as fantastic of a moment.
Maybe he doesn't deserve you if you're that picky about how you want to be proposed to.
Boohoo... Do you realize that you are in a relationship and someone just said he wants to spend his life with you?
#43 - On 10/31/2009 at 6:35pm by SigneRobertson
Why is this an FML? I mean proposing to a girl in a taco shop is the definition of true class.
#46 - On 10/31/2009 at 6:42pm by C_Wicked27
wow fyl....................... your boyfriend wants to fuck you..................
how the hell is this an FML?????????
STFU because you DESERVE IT. If you don't like being with a loser, then DON'T be with him instead of whining on the internet.
#60 - On 10/31/2009 at 8:36pm by noshitsherlock
the real FML here lies in that you and your boyfriend don't have a good enough relationship that he would know that you wouldn't like that kind of proposal?
I feel like, unless we had some significant event in said taco shop I would, as a female, not particually like to get proposed to there. Just saying, at home or somthing I feel might have felt like a more siginficant location. It's not a FML, but not my (or the OP obviously) ideal spot for getting engaged.
#63 - On 10/31/2009 at 9:13pm by sarah_berah
Oh no, poor you - some one loves you and wants to spend the rest of their life with you. Okay, it may not of been the best proposal or how you pictured it, but it was spontaneous and sometimes that makes the whole thing more special. Its a funny story for the children at least.
#64 - On 10/31/2009 at 9:23pm by lmaoatyourlife
I said yes when my boyfriend proposed to me because I don't know how to say "no" and I hate hurting people's feelings.
#67 - On 10/31/2009 at 10:24pm by rosesdarkblue
haha, same with my parents.
cept it was an arranged marriage and my grandma told my mum that she'd kill herself if she didnt marry my dad.
positive note: my folks are in love, 17yrs after they got married...:)
#113 - On 11/01/2009 at 4:43am by shanisdaman
Yes, not every proposal is going to go the whole nine yards with flying dragons spitting flowers of love out of their mouths. But good grief, fellow FMLers! Go grow some standards.
Obviously, if the OP is upset about the setting (the taco shop) and his attire (his "F*** me, I'm Famous" shirt), then most likely neither was important to their relationship. It's not always the thought that counts -it's what you have to show for it. Sometimes it really depends on the delivery, though. But apparently the OP wasn't happy with the proposal at all, so her boyfriend must have not really put much heart in it. (Or maybe the OP is just really materialistic... who knows?)
Basically, my point is that if the OP's boyfriend didn't care enough to put a smidgen of thought into proposing to the woman he wants to marry, then he doesn't really care about her all that much. True, expensive =/= love, but whatever happened to a little effort?
Some of you are reeking of desperation and jealousy if your telling the OP "at least he proposed." :\
[But then again, I could be all wrong about the OP and her boyfriend. Just saying that you shouldn't say yes to every proposal just to be married for marriage's sake.]
#68 - On 10/31/2009 at 10:25pm by CyclonePsycho
It's not out of desperation that you say "at least he proposed", it's the fact that he DID propose to her, which means he wants to be with HER, no one else. And she's bitching about it, because it wasn't good enough for her taste. she's a stuck up bitch for that.
(unless he was mid bite of his taco and was like "hey, baby, let's get married" *spits chewed taco on her face* XD)
i agree. it didn't even have to be much, just take the girl you want to marry for a walk in the park or on the beach and buy/pick her a pretty flower or something... i think it's pretty obvious that he doesn't care enough about her to get married if he didn't even put an effort into proposing...
#122 - On 11/01/2009 at 11:15am by hvitfeldtska
Haha I just got done on facebook and my first thought when I read this was to look for the "like" button. Fail.
#69 - On 10/31/2009 at 10:36pm by DynamicDave
If you don't like it don't marry him. Then again stop whinning. You should already know what he is like, if that is a problem then he doesn't need you. Get over it and grown up
#72 - On 10/31/2009 at 11:01pm by SorrowFull
Maybe to him it doesn't matter where he is or what he's wearing when he proposes. Maybe it's just about how he feels about you. And he wants you to be together forever whether it's in a taco shop or a fancy restaurant.
Honestly, maybe it was just that, as Harry says, "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
Hahahaha FYL for having a boyfriend with bad taste in music.
#75 - On 10/31/2009 at 11:24pm by Mortanious
I wouldn't mind getting propose in a taco shop! I luv tacos.....yum?
#77 - On 10/31/2009 at 11:28pm by blackberry1993
Can you tell me where to get one of those sgirts???
#79 - On 10/31/2009 at 11:33pm by mikeymuscles112
Did he slip the ring in your taco?Would that have been romantic enough?He should have waited and then popped the question when they fished it out at the A&E.Now THAT'S a funny proposal.
Maybe it's his idea of being creative and spontaneous and out-of-the-box,sorry if he didn't tell you that you're his eternal soulmate and he wants to create vampire-human hybrids with you.
Maybe if you didn't tell him that you hate predictable men and cliches,he might have sprung for a dinner at Dorsia and slipped the ring in your champagne flute.
#85 - On 11/01/2009 at 12:18am by alpha_beta
well I think that A guy needs to be much more romantic than that if I guy really loves a girl he should make her feel like she's something really special and that she's better than the rest of the girls and as a guy I say he needs to try again and be more romantic next time
#86 - On 11/01/2009 at 12:21am by Randomcommentman
wtf at least he loves you cuz there are a lot of girls with ass hole boyfriends who are only using them for sex and your bitch cuz this man wants to marry fuck you bitch
#92 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:04am by SarahsWickedGame
I thought it was funny. People need to chill out though. That really is a shitty way to propose too.
#95 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:26am by guy_on_the_couch
thats a sick shirt, i have the same one. i got it at a club when david guetta was there.
#96 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:37am by kingsolomon89
Wow, look at all the idiotic, claiming to be unmaterialistic people.
#102 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:07am by redbluegreen
Seriously.
They're all calling the OP a bitch, and so on, but I bet if anyone ever proposed to any of these people like this, they'd go straight to FML and bitch about it.
#145 - On 11/02/2009 at 1:52am by Witchcraft
redbluegreen: took the words right out of my mouth lol.
Everyones materialistic at some extent.
#108 - On 11/01/2009 at 2:41am by Jonathan33
You could be his personal 24-hour Taco Belle. (Actually, I would have given him 89 cents and told him to go black jack off.)
#109 - On 11/01/2009 at 2:42am by doof_fisch
What really surprises me is that all of you super smart people with your super witty and ingenious comments, is that none of you have yet to realize that "Fuck me I'm famous" is the name of a David Guetta album so essentially he as just wearing a band T-Shirt; same as any lame emo teen would buy at hot topic.
Fucks sake people
jeez could you have been more selfish about it?
btw he was wearing a David Guetta shirt.
#114 - On 11/01/2009 at 5:58am by the_holy_one
Did he at least pay for your taco?
I'm guessing you probably didn't let him play with your taco after this. Nor did you obey his shirt, I'm assuming.
#123 - On 11/01/2009 at 12:30pm by Witchcraft
YDI. You're dating him, you know what kind of a guy he is, this honestly should be no surprise to you.
#125 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:42pm by TheTruth1428
umm... i wish a guy i love would propose to me.
who the hell cares about how it happens.
proposal lasts a few minutes. marriage lasts the rest of your life.
Just because it wasn't the most formal proposal doesn't mean it's an FML. At least he actually proposed.
lol@all the douchebags here who sit behind the computer screen acting low-maintenance. i don't think dressing up a bit and taking your future wife to somewhere that's NOT a 24hr shop is too much to ask.
#131 - On 11/01/2009 at 5:13pm by roflmaonade
So the parents of a good friend of mine have been married a long time, some 27 years. The proposal: they're sitting on the couch each with a large pizza to themselves, watching a baseball game. At one point SHE looks over at HIM and says "you're going bald; it's going to ruin my wedding pictures". He replies "wait, so we're..." "yes." Happily married, active and hilarious ever since, so shut the fuck up about the validity of a proposal. time and place have nothing to do with it.
Sounds like us. I was on my lunchbreak at work and my boyfriend at the time was sitting with me eating. I look up from my sandwich and ask "we getting married or not?" He says "sounds good." And that was that.
honestly, does it matter where your proposed to? my mom was proposed to at her apartment right after the roof blew off of it during a snowstorm, and she still said yes. people are always bitching about how they didnt get proposed to the way they wanted. stfu
#135 - On 11/01/2009 at 9:18pm by halliekinze1014
YDI. I'm sure this isn't the first thing he's done that makes him an idiot, and you stayed with him.
This sounds like almost exactly how it happened to me, and I thought it was adorable. Quit being such a stuck up bitch, that guy deserves someone more fun than you.
#150 - On 11/02/2009 at 12:51pm by flylikemusic
so its not romantic. He proposed. Thats a good thing.
#153 - On 11/02/2009 at 5:11pm by fullmoonmidget
when i was proposed to, i was swearing sweat pants and it was in my driveway...it doesnt matter where you are or what either of you are wearing, cause you'll remember that moment forever!
not that anyone will see this now but: the proposal is often (not always, but often) an indication of the type of people involved. Yes, he cared for her, great. But if he saw her as a girl with class, he would have relized that he would have to make the proposal at least a bit more thoughtful and special, and not quite so trashy.
Says a lot about her, and him, if this is how he proposes that they spend the rest of thier lives together, and that is undoubtly the reason that the OP was upset, she does not want to be seen as trashy, especially by the man that loves her.
#157 - On 11/03/2009 at 8:21pm by damnrosi
I'd be stoked, I love mexican food.
Your guy sounds pretty cool, ever thought maybe you're too fucking high maintenance?
Just a thought.
xx
#158 - On 11/03/2009 at 11:05pm by devilxdoll
My Dad proposed to my mom when they were driving home from Taco Bell. They went to pick up her prom dress somewhere, and stopped by taco bell. They weren't dating at the time, and my mom was going to prom with someone else. They were just friends. My dad said 'You know you love me, lets get married." They got married when they were 19, and are now 41 and still together. (:
#165 - On 11/06/2009 at 9:57pm by KelsyKatastrophe
I'm not understanding this.
it's not an fml because someone who obviously loves you asked you to marry him. How materialistic can you possibly be? Why would the t-shirt matter?
and it's not a ydi, because if you are the kind of person who cares more about what he was wearing than who he is you really don't deserve to be with anyone.
I do realize the majority of guys you *see on the outside* aren't that great, but don't generalize~ ^0^ Some are really nice people.
