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.

That's odd and boring anyway. Propose to her in a way that is meaningful and specific to her. Also, like #104 said, be direct and it'll be more powerful.

Since she apparently loves running, I would think hiding it in her running shoes technically IS meaningful and specific to her. Obviously there is too much room for fail there, though, he should have thought of something else running-related.

Wow,if I would of found a ring in my shoe I would of been like wtf?! Luckily my fiance didn't do an idiot move like that.

Why would you put the ring in her shoe and then leave (at least long enough for her to put on the shoes and leave home)? I mean, wouldn't you want to be in the room at least when she found it? Kind of dampens the whole proposal if she wants to say yes. Or was she supposed to call you with her answer? YDI.

this is what happens when people put rings in stupid places. romantic, bit impractical. the entire idea is antiquated, anyway. i want to be with her forever... think I'll give her a shiny rock. oooooh, pretty! honestly? who thought of this?

It's the band, not the stone, that is supposed to count. Something along the lines of "this never-ending circlet represents our ongoing love" .... SOMETHING like that. Some people like to pretty it up to show they cared enough to get more than just a plain band. Sometimes they do it in a fashion that suits the recievers interests (particular inscriptions, their birthstones, little designs/patterns, etc). But in the end, it's the fact the band that is the initial significant part.

I hope the ring was ******* expensive, yeah, I do. Try a more reasonable place to put a surprise ring, fool.

"Romantic gestures" like these are stupid. Girls won't care how you propose, as long as you do it; and in this case, the reaction would be more of "Uh, whut".

I was about to disagree with you, but then I thought more about it. So I disagree with you to some extent. A girl would love to be proposed to in a place that has meaning to her or to the relationship. A girl would love to be proposed to through means of something of value to her... (for example, finding an old doll she always wanted as a child, and attaching the ring to it). A girl would hate to be proposed to on the toilet. A girl would hate to be proposed to in any other inconvenient area. Other than that, nah, probably wouldn't care.
