Today, while at the supermarket, a complete stranger ran up to me, got down on his knee and confessed his love for me. He was obviously mentally unstable, so I gently declined. He started crying very loudly in front of everyone. I still don't have a clue who he was. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML
Today, while out for lunch, a guy approached me and asked for my number. I politely declined. To my dismay, he dropped to his knees, grabbed his head, and started moaning about how nobody ever gives him a chance. I felt the accusing stares. FML
Today, a total stranger asked me to marry him while we were waiting for the bus. I turned him down. He then pulled a knife on me, grabbed my purse and ran. FML
Today, I confessed my feelings to the guy I've had the biggest crush on. He spent the next ten minutes calling me delusional, said that I know nothing about him, and laughed that "this isn't Twilight, for fuck's sake". All he did when I started crying was pat me on the head and leave. FML
Today, I was walking through my local park when I noticed a guy getting down on one knee with a ring box in hand. As I got closer, he looked at me, got a horrified expression on his face, and shouted, “Oh no, wrong woman!” He then awkwardly stood up, put the ring back in his pocket, and scuttled away. That's probably the closest I'll ever get to a proposal. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML
Today, a stranger came up to me with a flirty smile, greeted me by my name, and asked if I remembered him. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember, so I asked him to tell me. He promptly left with a disappointed look. He was the most gorgeous person I've ever seen. FML
Today, my best friend whom I have been in love with for years, called me, proposed, and confessed his love for me. He was at a noisy bar so I asked him to call me back later and we'd discuss it. He called back later, hungover, with no recollection of our conversation whatsoever. FML
Today, a guy that I've been friends with for almost 20 years, and for whom I have never shown even the slightest bit of romantic interest in, confessed his love for me. In front of everyone we know, at mine and my fiancé's engagement party. FML
Today, a guy drunkenly professed his love for me. He did this after walking in on me peeing, which he decided was the time to tell me such a thing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Was he proposing with a Ring Pop from aisle 4? I hope someone grabbed some rice from aisle 7 and flowers from aisle 2 for the ceremony. Tissues for the lunatic are in aisle 12.

People film this stuff and put it on youtube. Look up proposal pranks. You got punk'd.

I wonder how many people are going to 'confess' and say it was them.

you already said that he was a stranger so I don't think there was a need to put 'I had no idea who he was'. just saying (:

She said she *still* had no clue who he was. She could've realized later that she did, in fact know him, and then the FML would have ended with "it turns out he was actually ___ from ____." But that last statement drives home the point that she was thinking about it and is still completely confused as to who he is and why he did that.

I've actually proposed to a complete stranger before! It was part of a list of things to do while in a scavenger hunt game. I lost the game but she said YES!!! Sometime you just have to accept the random OP, and go with it!

Maybe it was a prank? I hope so.

It's heartbreaking if he's truly unstable, and not on a dare of some sort from his friends. In the meantime, you should see what other stores you can go to if it happens again. Truthfully, it sounds like a dare his friends had him do... *shrug*
