Today, I finally had enough money to buy my girlfriend an engagement ring, which I was going to pick up after work. On my way to work, I slid on the ice and crashed into a parked vehicle. The damage to my car is almost twice the amount of the ring. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over two hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. FML
Today, I found the $3,200 engagement ring I dropped in my yard. I ran over it with my lawnmower. FML
Today, my fiancé got impatient and passed a lady doing 15 mph under the speed limit. The lady was driving slowly in case the black ice in the other lane was in both. We spun out and drove right into a guard rail. I'd just filled the tank, so now I'm down $40 and need to pay for a rental too. FML
Today, I was polishing a ring I made at a jewelry shop I intern at. The ring flicked off my fingers and smashed me in the eye. It only took a single trip to the emergency room to make me pretty sure I won't be getting the job. 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 finally removed my car insurance after realizing it costs too much money. Since I then had more money, I went to celebrate with ice cream. On the way, I got hit by a truck. FML
Today, as I was talking to my girlfriend about how I need to find another job to be able to afford school next fall, I hit a deer causing about $3,000 in damages to my car. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. At the right moment, I got down on one knee. As I was reaching into my pocket to get the ring, she got so freaked out she kicked me in the face. I chipped a tooth and the ring flew off, and now I can't find it. FML
Today, I slid on ice and hit another car while driving to work. My car was totalled, and my leg hurt, while the other car had very little damage. Not two minutes later, the salt truck drove by, spraying the road. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Where are people getting the idea he was WALKING? Damage to HIS vehicle means he was DRIVING.

insurance? last I checked it was required to operate a motor vehicle... and if your car isn't covered that's your own damn fault
sluggumsoriley 0
Clearly insurance should pay for this. Either that...or just drive a shitty looking car. Dumbass for not having insurance, or if you choose not to invest in insurance, get chains/snowtires...after all you are in Canada.

Everyone is required to have liability insurance, but a lot of people that have older cars don't have comp or collision, which covers damage to your own car. If you have a loan out on your car most banks require you to have full coverage. My car is paid off and is 8 years old but I still have full coverage. This is your example of why everyone should.

ok well i'm new to this site, but i've been reading a lot of the comments and just for the sake of decreasing my ignorance, what is a troll and/or trolling? i pictured one of those wishing troll things i used to play with back in the day, but somehow i don't think that relates.

my bad. accidental double post.

A troll is the little guy that lives under the bridge that keeps you from getting to the other side. They're nasty little *****. But this is what trolling is, talking about something that doesn't have to do with the thread, or FML in this case. ________________________________ www.myspace.com/rapid99

ahah!! like the one that eats the goats! got it...although now i feel bad because that exactly what i'm doing now. however, this was mostly just to say thank you and i will be doing my best not to continue the obnoxious trend.

Lol look you don't have to worry about being a troll or trolling. Most people on this site engage in conversation/argument about everything pretty much. Some of it interesting, some of it retarded. If all you did was respond to the FML and not take part then it would just be boring and wasteful. That's my 2 cents atleast. ___________________________________ www.myspace.com/rapid99

yeah i've noticed that people seem to enjoy picking out impertinent details then bashing. so, i appreciate you not being rude...that seems worth more than 2 cents to me. i mean i'm fine with debating or even sometimes arguing if it's something you strongly believe in, but picking fights just to fight is unnecessary.
Starchild21 3
That's why it's left to your own accord. As I said some of it can be interesting and some of it can be retarded, mainly when they just decide to fight amongst themselves as you mentioned. Hopefully you enjoy the site and take guilty pleasure in the FMLs lol. _____________________________________ www.myspace.com/rapid99

71- Trolling is arguing something that you don't even believe (and often it's an incredibly stupid argument) just to get a rise out of people.

Starfire22 5
Haha, no hard feelings :)

You can probebly return the ring since you just bought it tho, unless you already sized it, then that sucks.
tam_tiger 0
Take the ring back?? Do you not have auto insurance OP?? Or you can't sue for unsalted roads? Either way that sucks...
avoidthegirl 6
Are you retarded? How the hell could anyone get away with suing the city because the roads weren't salted? How about OP is just a retard who can't drive correctly when it's slick out? Try living out in the middle of nowhere in the winter. THAT shit sucks.

Please don't use the world retarded. It's gets dropped far too easily and people forget the meaning of it. They're better words to use like idiot or spud

Where did u fall? If it was in a parking lot and not on the side of a street you could sue whatever company owns the lot for not salting it and or getting rid of the ice in any other matter.
