Today, it was our 5th anniversary, so I decided to play a little joke on my girlfriend. Before I gave her the real present, an engagement ring, I gave her a gift-wrapped rolling pin instead. I ended up in the hospital. 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, only for her to slap me, throwing the "fake ring" away and storming off, convinced it was a cruel joke. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 4 years. I took the whole day to cook a nice meal, and stuck the ring in a cookie that I was going to give to her. In the middle of the dinner I was holding the cookie under the table, about to give it to her. My dog ate it. 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
Today, my wife figured out I gave her a dollar store ring for our anniversary. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for dinner to a fancy Italian restaurant for our one year anniversary. After giving her some roses, freshly baked cookies, and a thoughtful poem I wrote for her, she started laughing and asked for her real gift. FML
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 decided it would be hilarious if she pulled a prank on me, so she did the classic "bucket of water on a door" one. I ended up getting stitches and a concussion on my birthday. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML
Today, as a 1 year anniversary present, my boyfriend let me see and wear my engagement ring. He then made me give it back at the end of the day. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It seems like after five years, she'd know you well enough to recognize that it was a gag gift. Unless you've just told her to get back in the kitchen one too many times and she finally snapped...

Let me guess, she made you shove it up your ass.

Did she say yes?

She did over react. If she knew you she wouldn't freak so bad. And that was very cute and sweet. A little sexiest but funny.

And if OP knew his girlfriend, he wouldn't pull a gag joke on a sensitive subject.

Then either way they shouldn't be getting married. Problem solved. However, assault and battery is worse than any joke, and grounds for immediate relationship termination.

66 - Finally someone got it right!!! There are a lot of things I tolerate, but cheating and abuse are not among them. That's immediate dismissal.

If she had done this to you and you attacked her, this would suddenly be a huge deal about domestic violence.

What? You ended up in the hospital? Never play jokes on a kickboxer, should have known that! No seriously, there's something terribly wrong if she beated you up just for giving a silly present. Thinking about how she will react to serious issues, I would reconsider this relationship.

Seriously this is sad. I wouldn't be giving her a ring or a relationship if she couldn't take a joke.

DTMFA. Violence resulting in hospitalization or other injury is a deal breaker.
