Miscellaneous: Today, I found out I will not be getting my class ring. The jeweler...

Today, I found out I will not be getting my class ring. The jeweler has a policy against doing engravings that contain "obscene or offensive language or phrases". What obscene phrase did I want? My initials and year. W.T.F. 2010. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I took a ring to be cleaned, and the jeweler offered to clean all my rings, so I gave them to him. When he gave them back, he said he'd polished all the scratches on the wedding band. The “scratches” were the remains of the original engraving on my dead father's wedding band. FML

Today, after months of saving, I went to buy the wedding ring I promised to buy my fiancée. Just seconds after I walked in, the owner asked me to leave, saying he doesn't serve "trash" like me, while pointing at the memorial tattoo on the back of my hand. FML

Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML

Today, I found a necklace that my parents had made for me. While looking at it, I realized my parents had spelled my name wrong. FML

Today, I went to sell my wedding rings, due to the fact that I'm getting divorced from a man who cheated on me. The jeweler informed me that the stone in my engagement ring is fake. I won't even be able to cover the divorce costs from the proceeds. FML

Today, I went with my girlfriend to the mall. We were looking at jewellery in Zales and she came across the engagement rings. She looks at one and says, "Are you kidding me? That ring is hideous and it's the most expensive one here! Who the fuck would buy that?" Well, that would be me. FML

Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over 2 hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML

This is not an FML at all. You have the coolest initials ever. Unless somebody out there is named like, Fiona Marie Little. So that part is awesome. Also, class rings aren't the only thing in the world that matter. They're overpriced, with what they were trying to charge for ours, I could have made a damn rent payment.

I bet school could have /affected/ your ability to differentiate between affect and effect.

While I agree that the OP should know the difference between affect and effect keep in mind that now days most schools do a one week review to cover issues like grammar and correct usage of words (always beginning with the easy shit you learned in first grade). Then they give the kids a test and don't talk about it again for one year. They are dumb because teachers treat them like they cannot be expected to retain any kind of knowledge for more than a few days. And OP, just make your mom call and bitch about it. Crazy parents almost always get their way.

Just get W.F on it. Can anyone explain the class ring concept to me? I'm in U.K and I don't think people tend to get them here.

A class ring is a ring you can buy in high school. To relate back to the OP it usually has your class year and initials engraved on the inside. I don't know of all high schools do but at mine you could customize it (the stone would generally be your birthstone. if you were in band you'd probably have a little instrument put on it for example) They tend to not do class rings in college (though a few have picked it up). Texas A&M University (i'm a alumni) is VERY big on class rings and you generally don't take it off...ever..it's a global identifier for Aggies. I've even heard of two Aggies noticing one another's rings from across a bar..in London... They even have 'ring dunking' (where you get a pitcher of beer and you drink to get your ring at the bottom...The university doesn't condone this but it is such a big thing even the stores carry pitchers specifically for this purpose).
