Luck of the draw

Today, I went to a yard sale and found a cute plush duck. I sent a pic of it to my friend with the message "Jackpot!" I guess she didn't see the pic because she called me up all excited, thinking my boyfriend of 6 years finally proposed to me. "No, I said, I just found a big duck for $1." FML

This isn't really an FML. I will agree with #16 though... your life is ducked. ;P And @ the people who are like "OMG you gold-digging ****!!" - she DID NOT SAY "Jackpot!" because her boyfriend proposed, she said "jackpot!" because she found a cute plushie duck. Her FRIEND misunderstood and thought it had something to do with being proposed to. Jesus, people, learn some reading comprehension.

No we understand. But for the friend to assume Jackpot = engagement must mean the friend knows the OP is a gold digging ****.

I don't think your life is ****** at all. Large plush duck > being engaged The duck will always be there for you, it won't cheat on you, it always likes to cuddle, it doesn't care if your fat, and it never criticizes you!

Everyone calling the OP a gold digger is extremely insecure and has serious reading comprehension issues. She was not saying it in regards to an engagement, she was saying it because she found and item she likes. Which demonstrates that the term "jackpot" does not necessarily have to refer to monetary gain, but also to obtaining something you admire, which is a perfectly reasonable reaction to getting engaged to someone you love. The term "****" however has absolutely no place in this situation. You know nothing about the OP sexual habits. So kindly STFU and quit reaching.

Consider this: he might not want to get married, or he does, but not to you.

Saying "Jackpot!" = a marriage proposal? What the hell was your friend thinking?

That. Is. Awesome. Made me seriously chuckle. And just because her friend assumed "jackpot" meant he proposed doesn't make either one of them greedy. Perhaps she had shared her frustration over him not proposing with this friend, enough so that it popped into her head first thing. Also, "jackpot" can be interpreted as the ultimate prize, or something you hope to attain. Now if she'd said "motherload," that would be worse.

Depending on how old you are, it's time to tell that boyfriend of yours that you either get married or you start seeing other people. There is no good reason to not be married after dating 6 years, unless you started dating when you were a teenager or something. And if you DID start dating when you were a teenager, you need to find out what else is out there!

Wow, you can't read, can you? Her FRIEND assumed she was being proposed to. Why are you calling her a ****, for all you know she might be waiting to have sex till marriage.
