Today, a woman somehow managed to drop her wedding ring into the garbage at the fast food place where I work. I had to search through a full bag of half eaten food and soda to find it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 proposed to the love of my life by having the waitress place the ring in her dessert. She ate the whole thing and didn't find the ring. I guess the waitress stole the ring. FML
Today, I thought the ring my boyfriend bought for me had fallen off while emptying the trash into the bin. After panicking and emptying a week's worth of rubbish onto the ground, I found my ring safe and sound. On my other hand. FML
Today, my best friend invited me to dinner at his house. When I went to the toilet, I found my wife's wedding ring in a cup, which she'd lost a week ago. FML
Today, I noticed I'd lost my wedding ring after returning home from a long, tiring day of painting our newly purchased home. After driving back and forth to the house for more than an hour to go looking for it, I found it tucked away in my back pocket. FML
Today, my dog somehow managed to swallow a ring that my mother had bought me. Now I must carefully poke and search through each pile of dog crap I find in my yard for the next week. FML
Today, I went to a jeweler's to buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend. When I was at the restaurant, in mid-proposal, with people watching, I realized I had left the ring in the store. FML
Today, I couldn't find my phone. Worried that I'd accidentally thrown it in the trash, I emptied out all the bins and searched the garbage. An hour later, my daughter said she'd found it by the bathroom sink. FML
Today, I found my missing wedding band inside my 2-year old's pull up. It was accompanied by two coins, a Hot Wheels car, a pebble, and a dead bug. FML
Today, I thought I'd lost the ring that my boyfriend had given me, in the snow, in the dark. I spent a half hour with a flashlight searching every part of my driveway. The ring was on my kitchen windowsill the whole time. I took it off earlier to do dishes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why didn't she go through the trash herself?

You do know, #24, in this economy we take any job avaliable, or save money by going to McDonalds (or spend it), but thanks for being a bitch...

Did you chow down?

She dropped it, she should be the one doing the diving. If she drops her drink then you clear it up because it's your job to keep the place clean & tidy (I assume). If she loses her ring, why on earth should she expect that you would get it? Bloody cheek.

It's her fault, her ring, and she should have gotten the ring herself.

This is where id start looking for another job. No way id go through garbage for a ring thats not mine.

I'd find it, put it in my pocket, and say that I couldn't find it. If she doesn't want to look for it herself, it's not important to her.

Yeah, +2 brownie points for being a good person and doing it.

Ops boss probably made him do it. I work as a waitress and I know my boss would make me do that if a customer dropped something.

Did she give you tip at least...???

37 did you know that you can buy groceries and make your own meals? you'd spend like 4-5 dollars at mcDonald's for a meal when you could buy a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread for the same amount of have meals for a few days.

#90 You do know I put "(or spend it)" on my comment, right? ¬___¬
Daralea 21
wow... I bet that wasn't in the job description. Would have just pulled out the bag, tied the mouth, and handed it to her. Technically would be giving back the ring.

I would have thought KFC. Aren't they the ones who are "finger licking good"?

you should give her props for caring so much about her marriage not just hate on her.
Ugi 27
It doesn't take much care to have someone else retrieve your item of value. If she cared about it she would either not lose it or would be prepared to get it herself.
sulitak 27
Here's what I would consider caring about my marriage: fishing it out myself (unless store policy wouldn't let me)

Agreed #4! What I'm wondering is if they found it?..
orangeduck 6
I think OP states at the end it took a garbage full of half eaten food and sodas to find that sucker. Not sure though might have that double meaning.
cupcakesnpot 9
Yeah I think you are right #8 somehow I missed that one.

Keep it! One man's trash is another man's treasure!

Why would you take someone's wedding ring? Do you have any moral values?
Enslaved 38
One down side to that is, I can easily picture that lady going through the trash herself, finding her ring, and strolling out leaving an even bigger mess behind to be cleaned up by others.

Nice rebuttal... Are you 4?
ramboman19 8
**** you 49.
rudegirlmania 10
Exactly. Her mistake, not yours. OP should've told her to feel free to dig. Maybe that would've given her the experience of doing something herself for once (since she went to him for help instead of fixing her mistake).

EXACTLY!!!

Usually they give you a pair of gloves and make you do it yourself, cus it's not the workers' fault she threw it away.

For real, it's her ring...she should find that shit herself.

How the hell do you drop your ring in the garbage?
AvengedSevenfold_fml_fml 12
Maybe the ring was too small and she needed to get it sized? I don't know. All I know is that OP is cool :)
jessesgirl14 16
If the ring fell off then wouldn't it be too big? O.o

I guess you were "down in the dumps" hahahaha... I'm sorry

Why didn't she just look for it herself?
fallsupstairs 6
Why did you feel the need to repeat previous comments...
Red_Wing_Nut44 14
Sorry, I walked away from the computer for a minute and my 8 year old brother posted that. Hence the repeating of an earlier comment.

11 why do you feel the need to be a douche?

Look for that ring pop.
