Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with the cliché of the diamond ring in a champagne glass. Apparently there was an off-duty police officer across the room watching me slip the ring into the glass. He thought I was slipping in a date-rape drug and tackled me down before I could propose. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. When she saw the ring, she got so excited that she ran to kiss me and it flew out of my hand, over the balcony of our suite, and fell roughly 45 stories straight down. I could feel my wallet screaming as a £4000 diamond vanished into the night. FML
A night to remember
Today, I planned to propose to my girlfriend in front of her family at dinner. I had the ring ready and got down on one knee. She immediately burst into laughter and said, "Are you kidding?" The family stared in silence, and I quickly realised she was just teasing me... until I stood up and knocked over an entire table of drinks. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, only for her to slap me, throwing the "fake ring" away and storming off, convinced it was a cruel joke. 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, my boyfriend proposed to me by tossing the ring at me and saying "Here, wear this." FML
Hate crime
Today, I was planning to propose to my girlfriend. I got out the ring and… she did the same. Coincidentally, she'd planned to propose to me, so we'd both got rings. Too bad our perfect moment was ruined by the bigot who called us “lezzers” and poured a pitcher of beer over both our heads. FML
Happy now?
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on my couch having a romantic moment. She seemed incredibly excited when she saw the ring and put it on. The way she bolted out the door tells me I'm not going to see her again. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. On our way to the Space Needle I was pulled over and promptly arrested. Apparently, I had recently purchased a car from a man who had robbed a jewelery store. The ring is now evidence. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML
Take it seriously!
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with a ring from Kay Jewelers. She saw the box, started giggling, whispered, "'Kay", and then started laughing so hard at her joke she had to excuse herself. FML

Putting a ring in food/drink is a stupid idea in the first place, there's this think called "choking". (:

Wow way to go Officer Jump the Gun. You could have always tackled him on the way out after you were sure you knew what was going on... No, I do not know why i'm talking as if the police officer is here... :P

YDI for being cliche. You're even aware that it's cliche, yet you still go on with it. Laaaaaame.

Agreed. YDI for being cliche.

So wait...he TACKLED you? All he had to do was take the glass and say "come with me." Such a dick cop. I'd report him, but that's just me.

That's what cops do in the US...

Actually, he could have ignored it(If he thought something was wrong he could have waited until they were leaving), or just asked...he is off-duty, most off-duty cops do just that... Stay off-duty. Lol. Too bad most cops in the US are dumber than a bag of rocks and can't do shit that requires common sense, unless this guy abides by the rule, "Ask questions later."

No cop would just tackle him. This is BS. FYL for posting a fake FML.

That's not what cops do in the US. They have protocols and don't just go around tackling civilians who don't pose an immediate threat. If an officer actually did this he could lose his job.

He's like Foc McCloud and many other characters: "Shoot first, ask questions later."

If I was your girlfriend I would be very amused. I hope she has a sense of humor as well...

There's also this thing called "autoerotic asphyxiation", where people get off on it :]
arielhoee 9
Haha that's true but, I don't think you'd want to get off by choking at the same time you're being proposed to & in a public place too. Although I could be wrong...

OMG i am laughing so hard.

I have never heard of a case of autoerotic asphixiation that involved foreign objects lodged in one's throat...seriously dude you're trying too hard with that one.
allmidnighteyes 11
Maybe you haven't, but you don't know what others have experienced. I knew a friend's ex who got off on having candle wax poured on her. Anything is possible.

I kinda agree, but I think that most people don't like chug champaign they just kinda sip it elegantly. lol idk but food......I think it's fine if it's a really small finger food kind of thing, but if it's a big plate of like spagetti of ravioli that's just dangerous because they could chip a tooth or something....lolz

Kinda gay im gonna call faaaake. I don't usually but it's like uuhmm.. If he was off duty.. he shouldn't be doing that.. even if he was ON duty... They wouldn't tackle you!! police have noo right to do that..
allmidnighteyes 11
How would it be fake? Cop (on, or off-duty, it doesn't matter) sees what he thinks is a potential everyday "drug her up, **** her, kill her, **** her again, chop her up, and eat her" guy, and takes the guy out. Tackling people is an extreme measure, but sometimes the Rawr Rawr Raptor Pounce is what it takes in a rape situation.

Allmidnighteyes your life must be interesting. I think you are the coolest person in the room, right now. You are my hero for the next thirty seconds (12:53 am, Sept 26th)

Awwe. What about me! I'm not cool? ): -pouts-

I don't think any of that is everyday stuff... lol :P

Exactly midnight eyes or whatever your name is. Like seriously the cop had no idea what was going on, cops can't tackle you when they dont know whats going on. He didnt hurt her. He should have questioned first. Lets think realistically. Thankss.

fMYYlife, I really don't think you understand the world of police officers. YES they should probably make sure they know what's going on first in a situation like this, but think about it; if a cop saw a mugging, would he walk up to the mugger to double check that the mugger was indeed mugging someone? No, that would be stupid and could potentially cost him his life, especially if he is unarmed (if he's off-duty). Same goes for seeing a man slip a foreign substance into a drink they're woman. Drugs don't instantly affect people, they take a little time, and rapists/whatever, get their victims out of the public eye before they feel the full effect.
