Today, after just having used the bathroom, my ring fell in the toilet. After stealthily removing it with a toothbrush, I went to go wash it in the sink. It then fell down the drain. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was going to the bathroom, my engagement ring fell off into the toilet, which then automatically flushed. FML
Today, I was fiddling with a ring my aunt hand made me, accidentally slipping it off, and dropped it in the toilet. Like an idiot, I scrambled to get it out only for my bending over to activate the automatic flush. FML
Today, my wedding ring came off in a Walmart bathroom and fell into the toilet. It was an automatic toilet. It flushed. 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 was using the restroom at work when my glasses slipped off my face and landed right in the toilet. FML
Today, I was taking a warm shower when someone in my house flushed the toilet, making the shower extremely hot. In my rush to get out so I wouldn't get burned, I slipped and knocked a tooth out. FML
Today, I realized I'd put on my shirt on inside out, so I went to the bathroom stalls to fix it. As I was taking it off, I accidentally dropped it in the toilet. FML
Today, while I was getting ready to take a shower, I placed my phone on the counter next to the toilet. While I was washing my hair, someone called me. My phone was on vibrate, so I didn't hear it until it vibrated off the counter and into the toilet. FML
Today, while reading in the bath, I accidentally switched the shower on. Not wanting my book to get soaked, I threw it out of the tub. When I got out of the tub later, I found it had landed squarely in the toilet. FML
Today, I was on the toilet at work. After a very loud and very smelly session, I waited until the other stall had been vacated to keep my anonymity. As I leant forward for some toilet roll, my ID fell out of my pocket and into the next stall. When I came out, it was face up near the sink. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Stop being such a Goober, Noor.

Don't most sinks have a part in the pipe where objects fall into and only water gets out of, designed exactly for this kind of scenario? Not all hope is lost, OP!
Ambient25 25
Guess OP is going to have to wait for the next PayDay for that ring

#21 - Yeah it's called a P-Trap and they aren't hard to take apart. They're primarily made to hold sewage gases from coming out of your drain with a water barrier, but they also can hold objects that do not float.

Sounds like you should just go back to bed an try again tomorrow.

I'm sure if you go under the sink and look in the Watchamacallit you'll find it. Though sometimes these things Skittle down the drain further.

It's the real beginning of "The Series of Unfortunate Events" The book series.

If it was an engagement ring, this might be a hint that your marriage will go down the drain
BRLHP 24
Or a sign that it needs to be resized.

#2: Uh no. It's a sign that OP is clumsy and soap makes rings slippery.
BRLHP 24
I don't see why op would have soapy hands over the toilet while pooping/peeing.
Welshite 40
What was she supposed to use to clean the fecal matter off? Spit?

BRLHP - I am having trouble discerning if you're trolling or just a disgusting cretin who doesn't wash his hands after using the restroom.

@Doc & Welsh: I think he is referring to washing her hands DURING using the restroom, not after.
NeatNit 33
Uhh I don't understand EITHER of you! The question is how did the ring fall down the toilet. Obviously, her hands should not normally be soapy and above the bathroom at the same time under normal circumstances... and THAT is where clumsiness comes in. Any more questions?

47- unless OP's the kind of person that wipes sitting down...

Now you need a new ring and a new toothbrush.

Toothbrush yes. Ring? That depends. For all we know it could have been OP's wedding ring.

Rule #1 of washing any jewelry is plugging the drain first. It's pretty instinctual to me.
TwistedCherub1 15
The ring most likely isn't lost. It probably ended up in the trap (the "U" shaped pipe under the sink). A large wrench is all that's required to retrieve it. It's pretty simple to do.

If OP's ring kept falling off maybe it was a bit big for her
random_cashmere 25
For all you may know OP can't afford a naw ring

That sucks!! Bathroom :1, OP: 0

The One Ring just needs to find a new master.

Who do you suggest? Smeagel?

Maybe it's a sign...
NoShit_Sherly 11
That OP should be steady instead of stealthy? Yah.

Looks like your marriage is going down the toilet. And don't bother trying to save it, it'll just end up back down in the drain
Siererrr 13
In most houses it is really easy to get things from the drain, just unscrew the pipes under the sink and voila!

"Two hours later I got it out the drain and then the dog ate it..."

This OP would have to rummage through poop as well.

How do you stealthily remove anything from the toilet with a toothbrush? And of all the instruments available to you, you chose to put a TOOTHBRUSH in the toilet? You seriously need to reexamine your priorities.
