Today, for my girlfriend's birthday, I got her an external hard drive and my grandmother's engagement ring. When she opened both boxes, I took her hand and looked deep in her eyes and told her to pick whichever she wanted. She took the external hard drive, even though she already has one. FML

Well....I mean.... This is gonna be harsh, but I'd be pretty disappointed if my boyfriend proposed to me like that. It's supposed to be romantic, you know? This just doesn't ...sparkle?... enough. I don't know. Maybe she was hitting the refresh key. Try again later?

That's so dumb, if you wanted to propose to her you should've just gotten down on your knee and given her the ring. Why get her an external hard drive and give her the choice?!

If you knew she already had an external HD, why would you buy her another one? Why not just give her the ring? Hell, both!
