Miscellaneous: Today, I accidentally dropped my engagement ring down a sewer....

Today, I accidentally dropped my engagement ring down a sewer. To my surprise, the sewer water was frozen and my ring sat on top. During my efforts to retrieve it, I had to watch as the ice slowly melted due to the warm day. The ring sank further and further until it was completely gone. FML

Today, while I was going to the bathroom, my engagement ring fell off into the toilet, which then automatically flushed. FML

Today, I thought I'd lost the ring that my boyfriend had given me, in the snow, in the dark. I spent a half hour with a flashlight searching every part of my driveway. The ring was on my kitchen windowsill the whole time. I took it off earlier to do dishes. FML

Today, after just having used the bathroom, my ring fell in the toilet. After stealthily removing it with a toothbrush, I went to go wash it in the sink. It then fell down the drain. FML

Today, I found the $3,200 engagement ring I dropped in my yard. I ran over it with my lawnmower. FML

Today, I was fiddling with a ring my aunt hand made me, accidentally slipping it off, and dropped it in the toilet. Like an idiot, I scrambled to get it out only for my bending over to activate the automatic flush. FML

Today, I finally had enough money to buy my girlfriend an engagement ring, which I was going to pick up after work. On my way to work, I slid on the ice and crashed into a parked vehicle. The damage to my car is almost twice the amount of the ring. FML

Today, I went jet skiing with my girlfriend of four years. I intended to propose to her. The $2000 ring fell out of my pocket and into the lake. I have no idea where it is. FML

Panic on the streets of Sydney

Today, I thought the ring my boyfriend bought for me had fallen off while emptying the trash into the bin. After panicking and emptying a week's worth of rubbish onto the ground, I found my ring safe and sound. On my other hand. FML

Today, in the process of leaning over the sink to close the drain so my diamond earrings wouldn't fall in as I put them on, I dropped my diamond earring down the drain. FML

Today, a woman somehow managed to drop her wedding ring into the garbage at the fast food place where I work. I had to search through a full bag of half eaten food and soda to find it. FML

This reminds me of that one time I tried to spice things up in the bedroom by wearing a dress for my boyfriend. It may sound completely unrelated to the FML, but it totally leads in to the whole thing. M'kay, so there I was, in full drag and with freshly-braided nipples, wearing a fake beard made out of Perdix' crotch hair, and cow's blood smeared on my lips in a cheap and yet magnificent imitation of the vintage lipstick of old. Once I'd finished sexily morris-dancing to the tune of Call on Me, I lifted my dress up sexily, anticipating an immediate ravishing, and all the glorious sounds of pealing thunder that would ensue. So what does he do? He only calls me a freak for wearing my frilly edible teletubbies panties inside out on a ******* LUNAR ECLIPSE. I mean, what the dick, people? Here I am, trying to be sexy for my man, and I'M the bad guy? Is there no justice in this world? Wee-woo.

Did it feel like the part at the end of the Lord of the Rings where the ring is so close to destruction, but it gets stuck on the crusty top layer of the lava for about 30 seconds before finally sinking? PRECIOUS!!!

What an appropriate metaphor for marriage! At first, you are a bright, sparkling, shiny diamond, but as time passes you sink into the shit and disappear. I hope this teaches you to put your fiancé in the Friend Zone, even if it means keeping him as a ****-buddy.

That's why you have to get a really tight engagement ring for your finance, so it can never come off ever. Even if you break up or something... just stuck for all eternity...

Wilhelma I don't know where the hell you are from, but how exactly are the police going to help the OP? I can guarantee that no police officer is going to respond to a call for someone whose lost there engagement ring down the sewer. They have better and more important things to do. You must be the type of person who also thinks the fire department should show up when a cat's up a tree. The OP can probably still get her ring back. All she have to do would be to call the city wastewater treatment plant and ask the operator if they can check the screen on their intake pipe.
