Today, my wedding ring came off in a Walmart bathroom and fell into the toilet. It was an automatic toilet. It flushed. 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, 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, while pooping at work, I was scrolling through social media. I dropped my phone in the toilet and the automatic flusher engaged, flushing my phone halfway into the pipes, which then flooded the toilet. I had to call maintenance and explain what happened to retrieve phone. FML

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, I realized I'd put on my shirt on inside out, so I went to the bathroom stalls to fix it. As I was taking it off, I accidentally dropped it in the toilet. 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, I was changing my shirt in the bathroom when I dropped it. It fell on my foot, so I decided to flip it up with my foot instead of bending down to get it. I flipped it, and it landed in the toilet. Which somebody had not flushed. 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

Go on eBay or something and find one that looks exactly like it, except cheaper, so your fiancé won't get mad.

Hey I dont know if you know this but people flush things down the toilet and you should go to the waste treatment plant in your area because they save everything that's filters out

If your fiancé was smart and assuming the ring wasn't a cheap piece of crap it should be insured. Bingo problem solved! That's one way to find out how much he spent on our ring hahaha FYL!

Actually it's not. My husband got a really good deal on my ring and the appraised value is more than double what he paid for it. And the appraised value is how much the insurance companies cover the ring for not the original purchase price. That way as the cost of gold and diamonds rise with inflation the cost to replace the ring is always covered. As long as you periodically get your ring reappraised to keep it up to date.

Things like this happen. I know that does not make you feel any better, but they do. If your to the point of engagement this can't be the first time you have given an indication to your boyfriend you are kind of spacey(I say this in love I am the same way) so hopefully he will be understanding. If it was expensive hopefully he had the foresight to insure it. But I the other poster had a good idea they do filter stuff at the water treatment plant. You may get lucky.
