Today, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to a jeweler's to buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend. When I was at the restaurant, in mid-proposal, with people watching, I realized I had left the ring in the store. FML
Today, I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but when I took out the ring it flew out of the box and disappeared. She's been crying for 3 hours and I'm down 2 grand. I still don't know what her answer is. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose. He'd bought me a beautiful white gold ring that I never got to see. His estranged mom stole the ring. FML
Today, my girlfriend lost one of her rings. I found this out as I overheard her gushing to her friend about how I must have borrowed it to find out what her ring size is. I have zero interest whatsoever in the sick and utterly immoral institution of marriage. 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, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I bought and assumed it was a late birthday present. She’s now wearing it on her right hand like a signet ring and she somehow hasn’t figured out it’s a diamond and not a Swarovski. I'm now waiting for her to figure it out before I pop the question. FML
Today, I’ve been the proud owner of an engagement ring for about 7 hours, and I’ve just spent the last 4 of them desperately searching for the damn thing, as I’ve lost it already. I daren’t tell my partner, since he was so sure I’d lose it, he'd told me to put it in our safe, and I stubbornly refused. FML
Today, my girlfriend turned down my marriage proposal because the ring I gave her was bigger than the one her sister got at her proposal. Apparently she wouldn't be able to brag to her sister without "looking like a bitch for having a bigger ring". FML
Today, I got home and my girlfriend was wearing the ring I bought last week. Apparently she found it and thought to herself, "Fuck it, we’re engaged now so I’ll just start wearing it", completely bypassing the actual proposal part of getting engaged. I’m actually really mad at her right now. FML
Today, I proposed to the love of my life by having the waitress place the ring in her dessert. She ate the whole thing and didn't find the ring. I guess the waitress stole the ring. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"Borrowed discreetly" is a euphemism for "stole." The ghost of Granny is already haunting you!

Really, I don't know why you got so many "YDI".. I don't think you do, unless you were REALLY careless with the ring, you didn't mean to lose it. I think its sweet you tried to go through all the work so it'd be perfect. Best of luck finding grandmas ring.

I wouldn't say "stole". By the sounds of it, OP had all intentions of returning the ring.

I just hope he finds it in time or it won't look too good

#6. I think that's what The Grinch told Cindy Lou Who.

Perdix do you mind if I "borrow" your sense of humour???
GoWithTheFro 10
25 - You'll have to borrow it 'discreetly'
Pentium_4 27
I have A.D.D too. Sucks doesn't it?
perdix 31
#25, if you have the intention of returning it, sure, why not?
GoW_Chick 15
At least OP would know who to call ... Ghostbusters!
brianfantana32 10
I don't think Ghostbusters could help herr

*Here, sorry
GoW_Chick 15
I was going off what perdix said about the granny haunting OP, but it kind of failed, oh well, comments can't all be winners.

It is Friday the 13th...

#59, Don't worry. At least it wasn't Rat-ghostbusters! Hahahaha!
bizarre_ftw 22
Screw the ghost, if I had any reason to I'D haunt him!!! OP you better either find that ring or take this secret to the grave because if it gets out you'll have friends, family members, and one pissed off girlfriend taking turns using your balls for batting practice!!!

Why do all of your comments suck?

Perdix's on a roll.

Oh YDI for taking the ring FYL for losing it!
briedabro 32
He didn't say he borrowed it discreetly. He said he borrowed it so he could get his girlfriends ring size discreetly. Big difference.

Just buy the ring and get it resized later, she won't mind. Plus, GET SEARCHING!!!
sarahbear430 0
She probably won't mind, but it was pretty cool that my hubby went to the effort of getting my size, that way you don't have to give it up (for sometimes up to 2 weeks) right after you get it and you're in total show-it-off mode :)
idiothater1 4
Haha, true. My fiancé never wore any rings though, so I had to guess!
TheDrifter 24
Better find that ring, or she is likely to have your tedticles mounted as a necklace.
japtch 15
Just no...
GoWithTheFro 10
Tedicles? You don't happen to mean testicles do you? Stick to simple words like "Balls" if you can't spell.
AvengedSevenfold_fml_fml 12
Yeah that'd be pretty weird and disturbing. That was a terrible euphemism :
ICATiger 13
A ballsack necklace.... how do you sleep at night....
DocBastard 40
GoWithTheFro - Jesus ****, it was a simple typo. Look carefully at your keyboard and notice that the "d" is right next to "s".
soccerguy2 11
41- He also forgot the "t" so it wasn't just a typo.
DocBastard 40
No he didn't. The guy who acted like an overzealous ass forgot the "t". TheDrifter said "tedticles". Go look again, smart guy.
TheDrifter 24
Thanks, I didn't notice my typo until after I hit send. As for how I sleep at night, it's a scary, scary place in my head, I am actually kind of relieved when it shuts off.

It's called a typo don't be such an ass bro

You could have 'borrowed' her phone, and asked one of her close friends what ring size she wore. After all, if you lose a phone, you can replace it, unlike her grandmothers ring
Roevera 14
Yeah, cause most people just have their friends ring size handy.. I mean, maybe if somehow you got into the specific topic of ring size, but most friends don't know that stuff..
your_ma 27
I don't know the ring size of any of my friends none of them would know my size either.. This is not something women talk about. OP had the right idea. It's just a shame he didn't make a point of keeping her ring in his wallet or somewhere else he knew he wouldn't lose it..
zombicidal 11
maybe if they knew her in high-school and just happen to remember from when she got her class ring but then again that was last year for me and I don't remember my own (6 and a half maybe)
crazyrunnergirl 7
That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard
BarDownDaily 12
4- This has nothing to do with your comment. But the fact you think Ovechkin is better than Crosby is pathetic!!

cadillacgal79 32
I actually clicked both. FYL cause you meant well, YDI cause if you lost, you were probably being careless.
anonymous100000 17
he could've asked her friends or her parents. or he even could've looked at her finger and gotten a smaller size and adjusted it later on. or he even could've bought her some cheap ring for like a birthday or holiday and found out her ring size that way.
every1luvsboners 11
Go dig up her grandma to check if she's wearing any rings. If so, you're in bidness.
PrincessesCrown 17
If she loves you she will understand that you were only trying to be romantic. or you could start searching. I suggest looking first before you told her you lost it.

I feel bad for you and yet I want to strangle you

"Life's tough. It's even tougher when you're stupid" - John Wayne You should have been more careful OP! FYL and the best of luck! You will need it.

I have to disagree with this quote dear sir. It is of personal opinion that I can say life is especially tough for the ones who are smart. I will therefore counter with this : "Happiness in inteligent people is the rarest thing I know." -Mark Twain I agree that in certain situations, a low IQ can be a disadvantage, though.

He said life would be easier for smart people, not that it would be happier.

It's a sign that you're not meant to be :p

I was just kidding..

That was a hilarious joke, tell another

NO

I shall rejoice that you didn't write "your" instead of "you're". That's all the sympathy you get from me and my mangoes.
