My precious

By machismo - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

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

"Borrowed discreetly" is a euphemism for "stole." The ghost of Granny is already haunting you!

Really, I don't know why you got so many "YDI".. I don't think you do, unless you were REALLY careless with the ring, you didn't mean to lose it. I think its sweet you tried to go through all the work so it'd be perfect. Best of luck finding grandmas ring.

Dangerous territory.. Best start trying to fix the mess than propose at the moment. Maybe you could just tell her what happened and attempt at look for the ring together?

You sir, just shot yourself in the foot. YDI

Well, at least you know you aren't marriage material.

Well youre not getting married soon....

THATS WHY YOU JUST ASK. She'll suspect but probably not let herself hope to much so she'll be super happy when you do propose.

Why pick the ring that has sentimental value? Why not "borrow" an old but non valuable one? Gotta learn to think
