Today, I wanted to be creative. I hid an engagement ring for my girlfriend inside one of her running shoes. I expected her to find it and wake me up, but she didn't. Later, when I asked if there was anything in her shoe, she responded, "There was a rock. I just shook it out outside. Why?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. I had been hiding the ring in the sock drawer. When I went to retrieve it, the ring was gone and in its place was a sticky note that said "NO." FML
Today, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I bought and assumed it was a late birthday present. She’s now wearing it on her right hand like a signet ring and she somehow hasn’t figured out it’s a diamond and not a Swarovski. I'm now waiting for her to figure it out before I pop the question. FML
Today, I found a ring box in the pocket of my boyfriend's pants while doing laundry. I eagerly walked up to him knowing that it was an engagement ring, hoping that he would propose on the spot. He tossed it back to me and said, "Well you found it, I don't actually have to ask now, right?" FML
Today, I found my wife crying. She said she’d lost her diamond ring. I backtracked her activities and suggested where to look. She found it in the fridge. She now thinks I hid it there. FML
Today, I got home and my girlfriend was wearing the ring I bought last week. Apparently she found it and thought to herself, "Fuck it, we’re engaged now so I’ll just start wearing it", completely bypassing the actual proposal part of getting engaged. I’m actually really mad at her right now. FML
Today, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I'd bought. She looked at it and said, "This is pathetic. You shouldn't even bother." 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, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I checked the box with the ring to make sure it was still there, and saw a piece of paper in it. It said, "No." FML
Today, it was the second anniversary of the day I met my girlfriend. I had to go to work, but I set an engagement ring and a letter on my pillow for when she woke up, and left breakfast for her on the counter. When I got home, she and all of her things were gone. FML

I'm really sorry to say it, but YDI, come on, a ******* shoe? I'd probably shake a "rock" off too without giving 2 flying ducks about it.

Well.. agreed on the lack of creativity (A running shoe? really? "Oh cool! A diamond in my footsweat!"), but I do think your girlfriend lied, because, really, first of all, the difference between a ring and a rock is pretty noticable, and besides, would you remember if you threw a rock out of your shoe a couple of hours earlier? I wouldn't. Most people wouldn't. Only if it was a "memorable" rock, and if it was, she would have noticed that it was a ring... I don't want to call fake, because that defeats the purpose of fmylife, but well, yeah, you catch my drift.

The creativity of the poster is fine. She likes to run, so she would look there, and it's a spot you wouldn't expect. The reason this is a valid FML is because of how ridiculous it is that the girlfriend would throw something out of her shoe that was a ring; not many stones have a circle with a sharp area on top. And furthermore, if you empty your shoe, you don't look away, you look in the shoe. Otherwise, you wouldn't know if you really got whatever was bothering you out.

Well, listen, the ring didn't have to be on its lonesome-- a box for an engagement ring is small enough to fit in a shoe unless the shoe's like size 2 or something. That would probably look more like a rock than the ring itself, and when you're concentrating on something else, selective attention gets the better of you.

Yeah! That is so unromantic, lazy, and not cute at all.

You are seriously the dumbest idiot in the world. What made you think that was going to turn out to be a good idea at all?

Actually the biggest idiot was the one that tied the ring to some helium-filled balloons. The balloons flew away along with the ring. The girl actually threatened to dump him if he didn't get the ring back.

Engagement ring in a running shoe? Maybe if you had said it out loud to yourself you would have realized how stupid the whole idea sounds.

I laughed at that for a good minute.

What are you gonna do next? Put the ring in her food so she can choke on it?

That was a stupid place to hide it. She could've stepped on it and broke it, too.

If your girlfriend has sufficient mass to crush a diamond, 'no' might be the better answer. Not to mention the hardness of her foot callous would be hurl-worthy.

I don't think YeahYeah meant she'd break the diamond itself, just the mounting.
