Today, I found a diamond on the floor, which I could only assume was from one of my brother's cheap earrings. I was positive that it was fake. To prove it to myself, I ran it across my window, as they say only real diamonds cut glass. It's real. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found an unfamiliar ring in my purse. Thinking it was fake, I gave it to a little girl. Thanks to my mother, I later found out that the ring was my grandmother's and it was made of gold and had a real ruby. My mother added that my grandmother trusted me to keep it in our family. FML
Today, in the process of leaning over the sink to close the drain so my diamond earrings wouldn't fall in as I put them on, I dropped my diamond earring down the drain. FML
Today, I learned that you don't put your diamond earrings on over your bathroom sink. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend about a diamond necklace I bought her for her birthday, which she didn't seem to be wearing. She then told me she hocked it to pay for her inexpensive phone bill. I paid $1,500 for that necklace, she received $300 from the pawn shop. 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 went to Tiffany's to exchange a bracelet my boyfriend had given me for our year anniversary. It was the first gift that he actually spent money on me for. The sales lady then told me that the bracelet was not a real Tiffany's item. FML
Today, I was on Craigslist looking for a new guitar. I found the diamond earrings and necklace set I gave to my girlfriend last year. She wants 50 bucks for them. FML
Today, I found out that my beautiful engagement ring is a remake of the late Princess Diana's engagement ring. I also found out my fiancé bought it from an infomercial, for $19.95. FML
Today, we got a diamond delivered to our house. I was super confused until my husband admitted he’d taken the ashes of his grandparents and parents, my mom and my grandparents', and my auntie's, mixed them all together and sent them to one of those diamond making companies. I’m divorcing him. FML
Today, after days of looking for it, I finally found the ring my boyfriend gave to me. It was on my roommate's finger. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That is my favorite line from a movie ever. Buyeah, ifif the diamond is real then I don't see the FML. You found a diamond for the price of a little scratch on some glass. That would be worth it for me.

how is this an FML?

Op realized that he is an idiot who just ruined a window for nothing. many fake diamonds cut glass. pretty much all of the common diamond faking materials do.

Just because it's a real diamond, it doesn't mean it's valuable. It could be a manufactured diamond made out of coal.
grv_fml 4
its all carbon anyway. you can manufacture much better diamonds than you can find naturally occurring because you can control the entire process unlike in nature where its random (and no one has to suffer and die to manufacture them). lol you can even make diamonds out of dead people's remains/ashes, there's even a company offering such service

@#16: don't worry about it xP

Nobody has to suffer and die to *manufacture* the diamond.... if it's natural, that took place well before humans were around to do the suffering and dying. But agreed, blood diamonds suck.

Your made of coal

...How is this a FML? Who cares about the window, you found a diamond for ****'s sake!
blland 0
because. depending on their sizes, a big window can cost more than a small diamond. what's so illogical about that?
Fizzycram 0
hellz yeah. that should be like an OMG score!!! type of thing not an FML
race_canyon 0
um... thats not even true. The saying is "Only diamonds can cut diamonds." YDI for being a DI. Glass is just melted sand. You can scratch glass with a rock.
FritoLovesYou 0
The point is FAKE diamonds DO NOT cut glass.
race_canyon 0
YDI. Most minerals used to make fake diamonds are harder or as hard as glass. Go to school before you try to correct me.

#5 good point. I've broken a few windows with rocks before. Don't ask why. The person directly above me, you are one stupid dumbass. Never listen to the TV!!! *Gibbs smack* Also. CSI is one crappy show. You wanna see real, go watch NCIS.
RevengeOnYou 0
Its not even a real. Tv shows usually MAKE UP THINGS.
Malinkrot 3
A TV show is bad because it makes up things (not directed at comment above me but at the person who said NCIS was better because its "real")? That eliminates 80% of all television...

NCIS RULES!!! Btw Why does his brother have diamond???

Well it looks like things *Puts on sunglasses* Are becoming crystal clear. YEAAAAAHH #27 for you. A typical Horatio unfunny pun.

NCIS isnt real it just doesnt make up facts its one of my favourite shows but it isnt real

That was hilarious and perfect. :)

hate NCIS CSI all those shows with no progressing story, end of episode or to be continued set always has everything back the way it was...

Actually you're wrong. On the Mohs hardness scale, a scale testing the hardness of minerals, Glass is 5.5 and diamond is 10. Only mineral with a higher hardness than glass can scratch glass. GET SCIENCED BITCH
deloria_fml 22
Sorry, but even glass can cut glass, so can anything with a larger number than 7 on Moh's hardness scale. 6 to 7 Glass, Vitreous pure silica 7 Quartz (Crystallized silica) 7 to 7.5 Garnet 7 to 8 Hardened steel 8 Topaz 9 Corundum 10 Diamond >10 Aggregated diamond nanorods
Hayman68 4
OP wasnt saying diamonds are the only things that cut glass, OP was saying that fake diamonds CANT cut glass
jbchica 7
^exactly..and btw get a life no one cares about that dumb scale thing
Justkidding100 41
and this reply is saying that even fake diamonds (glass) can cut a window (glass) seems like you're the one who can't comprehend
FritoLovesYou 0
Well, at least you have a diamond.

Sighs...you are an idiot. Most minerals can cut glass quite easily. Infact, the crystals used in place of real diamonds are harder than glass so they can cut glass. So the whole "only a real diamond can cut glass" is compelete BS since almost anything can cut glass as long as they are fundamentally have a greater hardness. Heck, I bet your kitchen knife can cut glass if its made with some decent metal. Also, if you really want to prove that the diamond is real. I suggest using that "mineral" you found and scatch it against something gold since gold is fairly hard and even the crystals used to replace a diamond can't scatch gold. Just make sure you aren't using fool's gold.
someguy945 0
gold comes in many different forms (14k, 18k, etc) of varying hardness. pure gold is so soft that if you put someone in a pure gold jail cell, they could bend the bars and walk out.
kryptonn 0
Sigh, you are more of an idiot. You have obviously never dealt with gold, it is actually relatively soft. It is only about 3 on the Moh's hardness scale, that is why it is so malleable and easy to shape. Next time you call someone an idiot, check your facts retard.
Her_Majesty 0
If gold is so soft, why did miners in the 1800s use their thumbnails to tell fool's gold from real gold? Gold is fairly soft and malleable.
IOwnedYou 0
Number 15, quite true. You can bend pure gold very easily...
kryptonn 0
Pyrite or fools gold is harder then real gold, I don't see what point your trying to make?
GreenReaper 13
Pure gold is ridiculously soft. You can very easily scratch gold. Try Ruby or Sapphire for something hard. They are extremely hard, much more than most gems.
rockmyworld 0
Rubies and Sapphires are also extremely hard to find. At least, the real ones.
dvd175 5
this argument takes me back to my 8th grade earth science class....gud times
Mitteny 0
They used their thumbnails to differentiate between gold and fools gold because gold would impress and fools gold wouldn't. Silly.

i can cut glass with a spoon but i wont cuz a spoon is worth like 50 cents, and my glass window is like 100 bux

*coughs* Uhm... Gold is a soft metal.
