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.

And this is why women dating dumbasses need lockboxes!! (however I'm guessing simple childproofing would work on you)

75's picture is enough inspiration for a thumbs down but the actual comment will generally seal the deal.

88 - Lol yeah, I had a lot of work and didn't have much free time, but things have cooled down a bit now so... here I am! ^_^ Glad ya missed me! :D

And 90 - yikes! Is it that bad? Wow, so..... I guess I should take a blurry, half-ass, changing room pic of myself in a trashy prom dress that I just tried on (something I can tell by your..... questionable.. Bra hanging out the front) and maybe, just to make it better, I lean my head so far over to the side and curl my chin in that I look like a pre-teen trying to be sexy Do you think that'll be any better?

Hey, maybe while I'm at it I'll update my description. I was thinking I'd... brag about how busy I am with my big important, yet still charitable, 'you-should-really-envy-but-still-love-and-commend-me' job, and that, though I can't always get on (haha, you know how busy I am), when I do have a spare moment in my lovely, awe-inspiring, glamourous life I'm still such an Awesome and 'fun loving' person that I can find entertainment in this Awesome site :D How does that sound? Cuz to me it comes across as a little insecure, a tad needy, and extremely pathetic But hey! Maybe I can supplement it by insulting the pic of some random person I don't know, because the comments on this site are Really all about the pictures, and bump "trying to find myself and get my life to somewhere less.. here" (

Aww, you were going to propose to her? Sorry your plan kind of back fired on you. Hope you figure a way out of this.. Problem.

This is a good idea, much better than the un-romantic people above, who are saying to just ask. It means it would've been a surprise for her! Hopefully you'll find the ring, if not, it's the thought that counts!
