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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Hahahahahahahaha that's funny but seriously if you want to be cliche just get down on 1 knee, it's more romantic.

Ok, at first I thought this was just another lame FML proposal story (ie. she just laughed and said no). But that is pretty funny! Hope things eventually worked out ok!

Hope you got his badge num, because that is SO assualt. Being a cop dosent make you above the law.

Oh, but it IS professional and consistent with the Cretaceous Period raptor laws of taking out prey. In this case, the OP was the cop's prey, and he pounced and took out the object of desire since the food at whatever restaurant they were eating at was horrendously unsatisfactory. omnomnom

Off-duty Police Officer uses Tackle. It's super effective! Date rapist faints.

You win. No doubt about it. OP - WHY would you admit that the ring in the champagne glass is cliche, but still do it? Sure, the police officer may have been a little out of line tackling you (assuming that you're not exaggerating), but he's probably seen plenty of rape victims and doesn't want to risk it happening to anyone else if he can prevent it

Off-duty Police Officer gains 89 exp. points. Off-duty Police Officer reaches level 12. Off-duty Police Officer learns that he just broke a law.

That makes no sense at all. How can tackle (a normal type attack) be effective against anything? Everyone knows that normal type attacks are by virtue not 'super effective' against anything.
