Today, I wanted to be creative. I hid an engagement ring for my girlfriend inside one of her running shoes. I expected her to find it and wake me up, but she didn't. Later, when I asked if there was anything in her shoe, she responded, "There was a rock. I just shook it out outside. Why?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. I had been hiding the ring in the sock drawer. When I went to retrieve it, the ring was gone and in its place was a sticky note that said "NO." 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 found a ring box in the pocket of my boyfriend's pants while doing laundry. I eagerly walked up to him knowing that it was an engagement ring, hoping that he would propose on the spot. He tossed it back to me and said, "Well you found it, I don't actually have to ask now, right?" FML
Today, I found my wife crying. She said she’d lost her diamond ring. I backtracked her activities and suggested where to look. She found it in the fridge. She now thinks I hid it there. 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, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I'd bought. She looked at it and said, "This is pathetic. You shouldn't even bother." 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, 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
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I checked the box with the ring to make sure it was still there, and saw a piece of paper in it. It said, "No." FML
Today, it was the second anniversary of the day I met my girlfriend. I had to go to work, but I set an engagement ring and a letter on my pillow for when she woke up, and left breakfast for her on the counter. When I got home, she and all of her things were gone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm really sorry to say it, but YDI, come on, a ******* shoe? I'd probably shake a "rock" off too without giving 2 flying ducks about it.

The OP's wife must have been high on something to think an engagement ring looked like a rock. Look up Engagement rings on google. There is no similarities.

Agreed...I'd even go further and say that an engagement ring in a shoe would not even FEEL like a rock...I would probably have looked at it before I shook it out because I'd wonder how such a big, weird shaped "rock" got into my shoe while it was sitting in my apartment... Oh and totally off-topic, Taylor I love your eye make-up in your picture

I'm sorry, but that must've been one of your lamest moments. Who wants a stinky engagement ring?!

that sucks. but not very creative. maybe a moonlit walk on a beach, then take her hand and go down on one knee and ask her? that'll be something she'll remember for forever ;)

Either she's retarded for thinking a square black box is a rock, or you're retarded for not keeping it in there. I'm thinking it's the latter. And dude, proposing while you're not there, and involving running shoes, is not creative, it's lazy, you REALLY deserve this. Is this what romance has evolved to?

that suuucks but you shouldn't have put it in her shoe. but that's stupid for her not to notice the rings not a rock. fyl.

OP: Its nice you think outside of the box, but probably shouldnt have done it that way. I mean, if you are going to propose, make sure you are there when she sees the ring. Id ask her where she shook it out and look for it if this is recent. Everyone else: Not everyone likes "romantic" proposals. You would say that he wasnt creative enough had he done it the "traditional" way and been shot down... :)

Think about this, guys... Maybe she did see it, didn't want to marry him, and just threw it away where he would never find it. Did anyone ever think of that? Oh, and if someone already said this, good for them, I don't read EVERY SINGLE comment.

If you wanted to go the shoe route, why not tie it in the shoe laces. That way it wouldn't have just been thrown out, and when she goes to put them on she'd see it.

Exactly what I thought: if this is his idea of creativity, then FHisLife for not having one creative bone in his body. That was really the best you thought of? Shoe???
