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

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

I would take that as a sign. Although you could always just propose another time.

Insurance should cover it. If your car is worth more than $2500, you should have full coverage. Based on the fact that the damages are DOUBLE the cost of an engagement ring, and you didn't mention that the car is totalled, the car was probably worth more than that. YDI for being irresponsible with your money. Opt for the rental car coverage, too. $4 a month shouldn't break the bank, but spending $30 a day while your car's in the shop for 3 weeks will hurt like a bitch.

YDI, for not driving responsibly. YDI if you don't have insurance. YDI if you have insurance with a high deducible. YDI if you were getting a crappy, cheap ring -- but have a low deductible. I don't see how this could ever be anything *but* a YDI

Wow people. Driving on ice is dangerous no matter how good of a driver you are.

Spoken like a true southerner. Let me guess -- you live somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line, and rarely, if ever see snow or ice, let alone drive on it? A little bit of common sense driving on ice goes a long way -- and YDI if you don't maintain control of your vehicle.

That's why he should have had better insurance.

I have lived in Florida for most of my life. I lived in New York for 4 years jackass and that was fairly recent. And I take vacations there all the time. So yes, I have seen snow, walked on ice, been driven on buses, cabs (those people scare me). There is no way I'm driving in New York unless it was the country in the summer let alone during winter with all the snow storms happening. And driving in rain is no picnic either, especially since Florida gets hit with tropical storms all the time.

Thought so. Try driving in a place with snow a few times, and you will grow out of the unreasonable fear of it.

There is always an unreasonable fear for me driving no matter what. It still doesn't mean ice isn't as dangerous as rained out roads, though the rain and oil combo doesn't help much. This whole conversation makes me miss the snow though.

Not when you factor in the cost of V.D.
