Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. When she saw the ring, she got so excited that she ran to kiss me and it flew out of my hand, over the balcony of our suite, and fell roughly 45 stories straight down. I could feel my wallet screaming as a £4000 diamond vanished into the night. FML

Today, this guy and I went on a date to the movies. We got up to the desk and I asked for one ticket for 'Jennifer's Body.' The guy moved his way in front of me and said, "make that two tickets." He then walked away to look at movie posters and left me with the $22.50 charge. FML

Today, after my wife and I have been trying for a baby for 2 years, I found out she's still on the pill. Apparently when she was a teen she had bad period cramps, so her doctor gave her the pill for the pain. She never realized it stops pregnancy. FML

Today, my mother is still insisting it must have been my fault that my husband beat me into a coma for 5 weeks, because he’s such a "nice boy from a good family" with a really successful career, so it must have been me who provoked him into it. She keeps trying to get us back together. FML

That sucks but I'll never get why people spend thousands on a piece of metal and stone. My now husband proposed without a ring, we went to get one together and I picked one that was worth 25 eur (about 30 USD) because it looked pretty and the monetary value was of no importance to me. Our wedding rings cost about 100 eur together. I'd rather splash out (and we did) on a fantastic honeymoon.

Who buys a $5,195.61 engagement ring? It’s your own damn fault for being stupid enough to spend that type of money. $100 or less is good enough!

i'm going to use this, I'll purposely have the ring fall out of my hands & tell her it was expensive but tell her it's okay money doesn't matter. No, it's probably lost forever. Just how Diamonds last forever.

Why is your wallet screaming? It’s her loss. The ritual of the engagement ring means giving the woman something of value (to support her for a while in case you leave or die.) It’s her property that has gone missing.
