Today, I finally had enough money to buy my girlfriend an engagement ring, which I was going to pick up after work. On my way to work, I slid on the ice and crashed into a parked vehicle. The damage to my car is almost twice the amount of the ring. FML

Today, someone stole my coat. I can only imagine their surprise when they find the $3,000 engagement ring I bought earlier. FML

Today, I found my missing wedding band inside my 2-year old's pull up. It was accompanied by two coins, a Hot Wheels car, a pebble, and a dead bug. FML

Today, while I was going to the bathroom, my engagement ring fell off into the toilet, which then automatically flushed. FML

Today, I accidentally dropped my engagement ring down a sewer. To my surprise, the sewer water was frozen and my ring sat on top. During my efforts to retrieve it, I had to watch as the ice slowly melted due to the warm day. The ring sank further and further until it was completely gone. FML

Panic on the streets of Sydney

Today, I thought the ring my boyfriend bought for me had fallen off while emptying the trash into the bin. After panicking and emptying a week's worth of rubbish onto the ground, I found my ring safe and sound. On my other hand. FML

Today, I noticed I'd lost my wedding ring after returning home from a long, tiring day of painting our newly purchased home. After driving back and forth to the house for more than an hour to go looking for it, I found it tucked away in my back pocket. FML

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

If it was a legitimate diamond, it should still be in one piece. If it wasn't...well...

That sucks but you shoulda been more careful if you knew you lost it there, especially since it's that expensive

Having to repair a mangled ring is still better than losing a $3200 one. This story would be so ironic if you were cutting a baseball diamond in your yard.

Not exactly. If the spinning mower blade strikes the diamond at a high speed along a cleavage plane, the diamond can get cut.

Mr. Science says no lawnmower blade can split or chip a diamond at any speed. The diamond would just bounce off laughing back into the grass ?

Well at least you found it ... the diamonds will be fine.

Actually while most people believe that the diamond is the strongest material on earth, it really is referring to how scratch resistant it is and how easily it damages other objects. In reality, diamonds can break rather easily, even with the strike of a hammer.

At least it wasn't a high-end name brand one. I hope the diamonds survived so you can replace the rest of the ring fairly cheaply.

Am I the only one wondering why someone would start to mow the lawn knowing there's an expensive engagement ring lost in it?

There's this thing that you can buy to find metal objects it called a metal detector, why didn't you buy one If you knew or suspected the ring to be lost In the back yard.
