Today, I asked my girlfriend about a diamond necklace I bought her for her birthday, which she didn't seem to be wearing. She then told me she hocked it to pay for her inexpensive phone bill. I paid $1,500 for that necklace, she received $300 from the pawn shop. FML

So go to the pawn shop, get it back & give it to someone who cares enough to keep it.

Because you can just march in the pawn shop and order them to give it back. Seriously, the dude just spent 1500$ for the necklace, I doubt he has the money to get it back.
#49 - On 11/03/2009 at 1:14pm by loooooooooool
For like 30 days they give you a slip, and you give them their money back, and they'll give you your pawned item back!
#54 - On 11/03/2009 at 1:32pm by LifeSuxLots
I'd rather sell my girlfriend for $300 and see if I can pay off some of my bills with it.

Now you know where to put your real treasure (your heart) and it's not in her care.
#2 - On 11/03/2009 at 10:40am by Jewelofagal
Ouch that's pretty heartless of her.... You'd think she'd place a bit more importance on a gift from her boyfriend
#4 - On 11/03/2009 at 10:40am by fireandice27
make her buy it back from the pawn shop now then take it and dump that bitch. I would not pawn something my boyfriend gave me unless we were both in trouble financially and decided together.
#5 - On 11/03/2009 at 10:45am by KarasuFyre
at least she told you man. That's not the worst that could happen. For some reason in find this hard to believe...

Run. My first wife pulled something like this just before she got pregnant (on purpose). I went into the marriage with no debt and money in the back and filed a joint bankrupcy for $200,000 about two years later. It is obvious she cannot handle her business and $1500 is a small price to pay to find this out.

This is why I don't bother messing around with business.... I'm no good at it. Some chicks are, some guys are, I am not. I don't even want to get a credit card. Scary things... Credit cards.
#111 - On 11/03/2009 at 11:46pm by masquerade08
Probably shouldn't have spent $1500 on a necklace, just saying.
#14 - On 11/03/2009 at 10:54am by poeticpunk77
Exactly, maybe for a fiance or wife, but not girlfriend.
#100 - On 11/03/2009 at 8:36pm by disney_blonde
Hmmm maybe, maybe not. I think it would be fine if they had been together for a long time, (years I mean) but if he is quite well-off in the money department, I don't see the problem.
#106 - On 11/03/2009 at 9:43pm by hornetchik
get the receipt of the necklace, get back necklace, tell her what it's worth, dump the bitch and fuck her best friend.
In that order
1. Never spend that much on a girlfriend. 2. This can't be the first thing she did that should tell you she's an idiot.
Next time just give her a pearl necklace. Much better for you.
#24 - On 11/03/2009 at 11:18am by FerrariCake
WOW! That deserves ass to mouth. She owes it to you, make her taste her won chocolate hearts
#26 - On 11/03/2009 at 11:22am by donkey_hang_down
You've been PWND! Or you necklace has, at least.
You need to marry this girl straight away! From now on, every occasion you have with her, give her a $10 bill (note) in a card and that's it. You are done giving her expensive gifts from this day forward.
If you marry someone responsible, you're not going to have such a good excuse for not going broke getting them expensive gifts. In the long run, this is a cheap lesson! ;)
break up with her, shes an idiot. can't sue her for it because it was a gift. i watch alot of judge judy lol
You know what that means? You're just as much of an idiotic bitch who can't handle finances as the OP's girlfriend, congratulations!
#119 - On 11/04/2009 at 4:55pm by jakedmagic
dump that bitch..i would probably slap a girl if she did that
#31 - On 11/03/2009 at 11:56am by realsiq
Jesus fucking christ... what kind of dumb whore would do that? I would NEVER hawk any of the jewelry my boyfriend gave me. Also, that must've been one hell of a necklace, and to have only gotten $300 for it?
GIRLS: not all guys buy that cheap Zales shit... some really DO care enough about you to drop that kind of cash. I work at a jewelry store; I know these things.
#32 - On 11/03/2009 at 12:03pm by avoidthegirl
I'm surprised she got as much as $300 for it. My mother in law needed money to pay her medical bills, and asked us to sell her wedding ring for her (husband is long dead and it was not a happy marriage). The ring was purchased in the late eighties for over $1k. They offered us $50 for it on an outright purchase.

What the Fuck are you doing spending $1,500 on a necklace. Are you in Love? A_nix77 is right. Give her a Fucking Pearl Necklace!!!
See comment #24. I thought it was hilarious, but apparently most of the people on here don't understand the "pearl necklace" concept.
#92 - On 11/03/2009 at 6:27pm by FerrariCake
You spent over a THOUSAND BUCKS on your girlfriend? Even if I had that kind of cash I wouldnt spend it on some bauble.
Fuck being with you then. Not saying I expect my boyfriend to buy things for me, but he certainly doesn't have THAT sort of attitude. When you're in love, you WANT to give things to you're other half, so good on him for that, just sucks his girlfriend is a bitch.
#69 - On 11/03/2009 at 3:24pm by hornetchik
I agree with chakrabs. Buy a nice suite and take her to buy a dress and go to a nice dinner; if not that, a weekend trip to Prague. Memories are worth big money, not trinkets.
#103 - On 11/03/2009 at 9:02pm by CapinWinky
True, I probably would rather that, but my boyfriend bought me a nice ring, (not engagement) and I love it so much. It is one of my most prized possessions because it has sentimental value to me.
#107 - On 11/03/2009 at 9:46pm by hornetchik
Haha. Noobs are as noobs do. You're GF doesn't know how to haggle. LOL
You gave it to her. It's hers to do with as she pleases. Don't whine. If it matters that much to you, go to the pawn shop and buy it back. If not, let it go.
#36 - On 11/03/2009 at 12:29pm by blastvortex
excuse me i think u r an idiot for spending hundreds of pounds on a diamond necklace for a nasty, idiotic and stupid girlfriend who doesnt care about u. my advice is dump her and THINK more! unless ur super rich and can afford to drop hundreds of pounds down the drain of course. but yeh this is definetely more of a FM Girlfriend than a FML!

Actually, it's "And America does not do everything better." pwn
#94 - On 11/03/2009 at 6:41pm by poeticpunk77
Funny how most of the comments that country bash are from countries other then America. Seems a little insecure to me. No one talks crap about Slovenia or Turkmenistan because they pretty much suck, they try and trash us because we have been and will be A dog for as everyone commenting on these posts will be alive. It's like when Phelps whooped that Croatian guy in the pool, they were pissed not so much because they lost but that Phelps won more medals in that one Olympics then their entire country has ever won.
#108 - On 11/03/2009 at 10:26pm by mobilicous
Get rid of her, the relationship obviously isn't that great if she wasn't able to tell you that she didn't like the necklace. I'd rather have a girl tell me that she doesn't like something I gave to her than to have her go pawn it off.
#41 - On 11/03/2009 at 12:40pm by hailster17
It must of been hideous... well it is your fault for spending over 1,000 on her. You gave it to her, so she can do what she wants with it.
It was a gift, she can do whatever she wants with it, but if I spent $1500 on a necklace for her, and she pawned she better hope she can still get it back!
#51 - On 11/03/2009 at 1:19pm by LifeSuxLots
Your girlfriend is an idiot.
I would never ever pawn a gift. Even if it was a shitty one that I didn't like or really needed the money.
#44 - On 11/03/2009 at 1:00pm by Darling_Cherry
Boy, SOMEONE's jealous as hell! You only wish you had the money this guy does.
#47 - On 11/03/2009 at 1:13pm by Nemephosis
wow. why does op deserve to be cussed out because he is doing well for himself. And just to add he never said the phone bill was three hundred dollars, just that she got that much for the jewelry.
Dear #46,
I think you misread the post. The OP didn't say the phone bill was $300, he said the pawn shop gave his girlfriend $300 dollars for the necklace.
For all we know, it took the OP a super duper long time to buy the necklace for his girlfriend.
#58 - On 11/03/2009 at 1:49pm by Darling_Cherry
#46 you're a dick. He obviously didn't think she was a 'nasty, idiotic and stupid girlfriend who doesn't care' when he bought her the necklace. He probably loved her or something, imagine that!
If hes not loaded, then good on him for caring enough to save up and buy something nice for his girlfriend, shame shes a bit of a bitch...

#67 - On 11/03/2009 at 3:18pm by donkey_hang_down
A bit of an unfair comparison. I mean, Bush had 8 years to drive America into massive debt, and you've only given Obama less than one to try to fix it, yet you're trying to compare the two? Oh please, give me a break.
#70 - On 11/03/2009 at 3:25pm by Jasper8713
You must be young. Take a look at the economic trends, the economy was already on a slide before your uncle bush. It was obviously not fixed, now they (govt) thinks that we should be regulated on everything and it will be fixed...
Go back and look (and think) for yourself, I know that is probably a challenge, you are going to believe what everyone tells you instead of using your own brain.
#72 - On 11/03/2009 at 3:29pm by donkey_hang_down
She probably has a drug habit honestly. If her phone bill is inexpensive then its possible that she lied to cover the fact that she went and bought smack.
#64 - On 11/03/2009 at 2:41pm by Carnivwhorus
This is shows a good reason why it's not worth it at times to spend to much on someone your dating.
#65 - On 11/03/2009 at 2:50pm by Diligent17
If she cared about you this necklace would mean the world to her. She just does not give a crap. Dump her ass and get a new gf.
#74 - On 11/03/2009 at 3:48pm by capricaz
wow...that really sucks...i know if that was my bf i would've been dumped and probably cursed out heavily, if not worse...hope this doesn't sound judgemental but you should definitely get rid of her because if a phone bill is more important to her than a diamond necklace obviously given with love, she is definitely not worth your time or money.
#75 - On 11/03/2009 at 4:11pm by Poetic_Laydii
dump her. I keep every single thing that my boyfriend gives me. even if it's a piece of paper he made into origami
Wow, you should dump the bitch. She's irresponsible, totally fucking stupid, AND grossly inconsiderate.
#79 - On 11/03/2009 at 4:33pm by noshitsherlock
what is she a dumb blonde or something heres a good idea get her something from cvs and put it in a tiffany box and if shes dumb enough to sell the 1,500 necklace for 300 she wont be smart enough to figure out u got her that the new necklace is plastic.
#85 - On 11/03/2009 at 4:56pm by berrysexy00
Hate to break it to you, but she neither cares about that necklace nor you if she was willing to pawn it off to pay a phone bill. You're an idiot for spending $1500 on a girlfriend (heaven knows I wouldn't spend that much on a bf unless there was already a ring on this finger) but cut your losses and run!
dump her!! dump her now!! it was a very sweet of you to buy her such a nice necklace and she has to go and be a bitch about it and pawn it. if she was having problems she should have come to you instead of going behind you back and selling something you bought her. if she cant come to you now about things like this then what do you think will happen if yall were to get more serious and get married and bills get tight?
oh and whats wrong with a guy giving a girl a pearl necklace my then boyfriend now husband bought me one back in high school and i love it. its a pink pearl with a diamond butterfly, yeah it came from zales which sucks but we were kids and its still a beautiful piece of jewelry that i still wear all the time. yeah id like a diamond necklace but the new car sitting in the driveway just isnt gonna allow for that right now. there are more important things like a mortgage and car payment to deal with than a stupid piece of jewelry.
oh and maybe hes not rich maybe hes just not some kid in high school or middle school and has graduated college and has a good job(big maybe on that one right now) but you never know. i didnt look at his profile to see if he has his age listed but still.
Aaaaand the fail award of the day goes to you!
They weren't talking about an ACTUAL pearl necklace. I don't know if your naivete is cute or sickening, but you certainly brought the lulz on that.
#99 - On 11/03/2009 at 8:21pm by avoidthegirl
Yeah fuck that bitch....you should not even spend that kind of money on a skank!
#89 - On 11/03/2009 at 5:36pm by Fuck_your_face
Youll never meet a bish willing to spend 1500 on a gift for you, so dont think you need to spend it on her. Dump the bish.
You DO NOT give a girl something worth that much unless you're gonna marry her! And seeing as how casual she was about selling it, she doesn't really care about you. (Sorry man..)
Tell her to march her lazy ungrateful ass down and either get the necklace back, or give you $1,500. Then dump her stupid ass.
#96 - On 11/03/2009 at 7:16pm by BadLuckBub
I live in the same state as OP and wow, that must have been a beautiful necklace.
Go hunt it back down, dangle it infront of her saying "this could have been yours" and then dump her.
She doesn't deserve you.
If my boyfriend gave me something like that i could be over the moon, its like 2 weeks of his pay, which is alot.
If i had needed money for a phone bill i would of just let him know, not pawn off a present he had put time and effort into saving and then choosing it =(
Is it just me or am I the only one that thinks he should have paid her PHONE BILL INSTEAD! Why are you gonna spend that much on a girl that can't afford her own phone bill? And why is it so high? Was she two months behind? If so, you fail. Pay her bill next time.
#98 - On 11/03/2009 at 7:40pm by violentturtle
A relationship with someone with that little financial sense will not last long.
#102 - On 11/03/2009 at 8:43pm by FoundManyLemons
Which is precisely the reason why you are NEVER supposed to give nice things to stupid sluts.
To a woman like that, you give a plastic trinket, never something real.
Would you put a collar full of diamonds on a dog you find on the side of the road?
dump her for being such a bitch for doing something like that...she didn't have anything else to sell? goes to show she didn't appreciate it. I understand it's important to pay your bills but that's messed up.
#114 - On 11/04/2009 at 12:50am by iplayrugby18
Show her the recipt of how much is worth, tell her to get you the necklace, or money back.. and if you're still with her.. I feel sorry for you... :/
I feel for you. My ex-wife did the same.
She traded all the jewelry I gave her over 15 years for meth for her and her friends to smoke up in one weekend.
what!! omg whothe hell would do that f her life for being so dumb
#118 - On 11/04/2009 at 4:36pm by lefty9
Why the heck would you buy anyone such an expensive present? That's just asking for it. When will people learn? Expensive presents are just lose-lose situations.
If the relationship is fail, you're fucked, you'll regret it and you'll probably never get it back. Even if the relationship works out okay, next year (or next month if you're a retard who celebrates monthly anniversaries etc.) you're going to have to spend even more to top it. Plus someone who unashamedly accepts such expensive gifts are probably spoilt, arrogant just plain greedy.
At least she can get it back.
Anyway, why on earth would you pay $1500 for a necklace? I'd kill my husband if he spent that much on any piece of jewellery other than an engagement ring.
And perhaps it means you got ripped off if the necklace is only worth $300 :P
if you need any financial help i'm a lawyer all you need to do is shove that diamond necklace up her muff and make her cum

#124 - On 11/06/2009 at 2:04pm by tomandhicky
How's a $300 phone bill not expensive? Yes, compared to $1,500 $300 may not be that much but just for one phone bill, that's a lot of money. Anyway, I do feel for you. I hope everything works out.
#127 - On 11/09/2009 at 1:48pm by Curiousmind
This is why I never understand why people invest so much in materialism; the value is subjective and lost overtime.
#128 - On 11/09/2009 at 2:02pm by Curiousmind
Expensive lesson, but you do NOT want to be with this woman long term.
#129 - On 11/09/2009 at 5:02pm by Professor59
for $1500 that's either a fake diamond or a pretty small one did you really expect a pawn shop to give a fair deal??? dumbass
