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.

Let me guess what comes next: Today I put on my shoe and felt a rock inside. I tipped it outside and thought nothing of it. When I came back inside, my boyfriend asked me if there was anything in my shoe. Turns out, the rock was actually an engagement ring. FML But that is original though. I can't say I've ever heard that one before.

Aw, I don't think it's such a stupid idea. Since his girlfriend runs a lot apparently, it sounds to me that if she found it, then it would be creative and considerate to the kind of person she is. No, not many check their shoes before they put them on, but it's hard to believe she didn't notice the ring bouncing out on the grass/pavement when she emptied her shoe, so that's probably what he thought would happen. I think a better idea, though, would be to buy her a new pair of running shoes and stick the ring in those. With new shoes, she's more likely to check her shoes rather than empty them when she feels something in them ("What the hell is in these shoes? They're brand new...").

I agree with u, 83! It sounds like maybe OP's girlfriend is a runner so putting the ring in her running shoe would kind of make sense. Although it would have worked much better if the ring was left in the box...and if OP wasn't asleep...Even if you'd think it'd be really obvious that it wasn't an actual rock, there was always that little chance that she'd just throw it out and not see it. So the box would have been safer. Also, I think it wasn't very romantic to be asleep when she saw the ring. Maybe get up like right after she does so that when she's putting her shoes on, the OP can walk into the room and actually ask the question as she finds the ring?

yeah cause every girl checks her running shoes for an engagement ring before she wears them. YDI.

You weren't even awake...seriously? You could have at least been awake, see her find the "rock" in her shoe and tell her to look closer or something instead. THAT would have cute. But no, you just stayed in bed waiting to be woken up...couldn't even ask, eh?

Lol would have been funny if she was like, "Honey, I found a cheap ugly ring in my shoe this morning and I didn't know what to do with it, so I just gave it to some random homeless guy. I feel good." LAWL LAWL LAWL
