Money: Today, I finally had enough money to buy my girlfriend an engagement...

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 was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over 2 hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML

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

Today, my fiancé got impatient and passed a lady doing 15 mph under the speed limit. The lady was driving slowly in case the black ice in the other lane was in both. We spun out and drove right into a guard rail. I'd just filled the tank, so now I'm down $40 and need to pay for a rental too. FML

Today, I was polishing a ring I made at a jewelry shop I intern at. The ring flicked off my fingers and smashed me in the eye. It only took a single trip to the emergency room to make me pretty sure I won't be getting the job. FML

Today, I went to a jeweler's to buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend. When I was at the restaurant, in mid-proposal, with people watching, I realized I had left the ring in the store. FML

Today, I finally removed my car insurance after realizing it costs too much money. Since I then had more money, I went to celebrate with ice cream. On the way, I got hit by a truck. FML

Today, as I was talking to my girlfriend about how I need to find another job to be able to afford school next fall, I hit a deer causing about $3,000 in damages to my car. 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, I slid on ice and hit another car while driving to work. My car was totalled, and my leg hurt, while the other car had very little damage. Not two minutes later, the salt truck drove by, spraying the road. FML

Where are people getting the idea he was WALKING? Damage to HIS vehicle means he was DRIVING.

You should sue Mother Nature for making ice... Worst part is you would most likely win. =

i live where it snows heavily every fall/winter, and there's always ice. no matter how good a driver you are, accidents can happen.

If you start a cute money-raising blog or something, I'm sure you could raise the $$ again in no time, with an adorable story like that!

well thats why you should always go full comp but that sounds like a cheap ring! you'd have to do some damage to be twice the price of 2 month's salary

YDI for not being properly insured. If you had collision coverage, all you'd be out is the deductible. I've seen so many people pay off the note, strip their policy to state minimum immediately, and then have an incident that WOULD have been covered. Stupidity at its finest.
