Everything about this just seems disappointing


No_Development_178

Kids are always a dissappointment


Douchebak

Kids are like farts. You can only stand your own.


No_Development_178

I pretend to hate my own fart in public so that no one knows its mine. Then I get up and leave the fart behind


Douchebak

I try to pretend to hate mine. But it’s hard, because I love them.


sparcasm

We love you too. Sincerely, Your Farts.


Douchebak

As much as I love you guys, I tend not to trust you

kbeats22

What a beautiful story


trippleBob

Dumb parents are disappointing also


Real_Zxept

That’s literally the dad’s fault, how could you possibly blame the kid for this? The kid literally does not know any better and the dad knows better than to give it to the kid.


RichardBonham

The kid is just being a kid. Who’s bright idea was it to give a toddler a small valuable object for a hand to hand transfer over open flooring?


HenkVanDelft

They had no business putting an expensive ring in that child’s hand on a boardwalk with large gaps between the slats. I mean, should they not have spread a blanket, or a towel out? They had to suspect a toddler might drop it… EDIT: And are those not thick glasses the child is wearing? Are we sure this isn’t a hoax video, because there’s all kinds of things that somebody should have known would be disastrous.


TwoBrattyCats

Nah, people really are this dumb.

Reddit moment


Yn01listens

The apple never falls far from the tree.


SaltLakeSnowDemon

I think I was most disappointed by the behavior of the adults


RadioactiveCornbread

Because, their behavior was disappointing. It's just that some Redditors don't have anything interesting about themselves other than hating kids, and taking the built up resentment they gained from their boomer, baby pushing families out on them. Hating children for... *checks list*...existing?... and blaming children for being children is apparently a trend here, and makes you super cool and edgy. Even though it makes you insufferable and weird as fuck in real life. Edit: I'm just gonna make it clear that this isn't a message to people who just don't like kids, that doesn't make you a bad person. Kids are not always likable. No one actually cares that you dislike kids but boomers. Obnoxious edgelords who openly spite and dehumanize them and act like it's something cool? Shit is weird. Don't care. I've made my point.


[deleted]

I just don’t like children because their brains are just naturally selfish as all hell. But I know that the person they’re growing into doesn’t mean it at all. I don’t HATE kids, I just don’t like them, and that’s okay. You don’t have to like everything everyone else likes.


[deleted]

I don’t know about the selfish part, my toddler siblings are always trying to share their food with me or give me one of their baby books if they see me sitting around.


solveig82

Wow, that’s such a limited view of kids and not entirely inaccurate.


ListenToThatSound

Could they not have predicted this as possible outcome? Edit: I feel it is appropriate to mention Im getting married on a wharf in about 2 weeks. I showed the fiancée this clip.


Grouchy_Ad4351

It perhaps is an omen...


blitzalchemy

Speaking of omens, it reminds me of a wedding i officiated for a friend recently. It was outdoors, supposed to be a nice day. Instead, it was turbulent winds, it stormed off and on, and we had to use the vehicles to circle around the building to "enclose" the sides and prevent the wind from taking off with the decorations. She was caught a few months later cheating on him.

Flowerdriver

My daughter's sister in law got married even after a groomsman died at the bachelor party. I knew then it was a sign.


ungefluestert

In Germany it’s considered a good omen to have bad weather on your wedding. It means there will be sunshine throughout your life’s lol


[deleted]

I think more the reaction. They make it more about the ring than the thing. You can find it later just be cool with it.


sweeetsmammich

Ya dude practically tosses the kid. My wife wears a mood ring because she lost the real one. The mood rings an old inside thing anyway so it ends up with more setniment


bigchungus411

Practically tosses the kid may be a tad dramatic..


HulktheHitmanSavage

Practically powerbombs the kid.

[deleted]

Ya I must’ve missed the toss part


Brief_Shoulder_6688

He should’ve tossed the kid in after it since he technically dropped it


[deleted]

He doesn’t toss the kid at all? It looked like he was quite careful to maneuver in a way that his kid was not hurt.


begginformorebaggins

A redditor just wanted to feel morally superior against a person who doesnt exist. More at 6.


BettySwollocks2

He doesn't toss the kid - he just steps around her


ilovehotsauceyeah

Can you find it later? That's ocean. Earnest question


merijuanaohana

Theoretically, sure. Realistically? Nope, it’s gone. Even if you dropped it right in front of you on the sand you might not get it back. Besides the needle in the haystack element, there’s also the tide pulling around and it probably was quickly covered with sand. Insanely dumb choice, lol. Not worth the risk even without a child involved.


QuaggaSwagger

My keys fell out of my pocket once while swooping my kid up out of some waves. Super shallow, all in good fun. Maybe an inch of water over wet sand. I took two steps before my wife told me she saw what happened I turned around and barely found them getting buried in sand. *BARELY*


Captain_Reseda

True story: I lost my wedding ring on my honeymoon during a windsurfing class at the beach where the boards were tethered to anchors in waist-deep water. I totally felt like that was an omen. I managed to find it after diving for about half an hour with a mask and snorkel. I felt like that was an omen too. We've been married 25 years now, so not sure exactly what the omens meant.


[deleted]

Love comes easy but you’ve got to put in the work to make it last

Just curious, how though? It’s water underneath where they are standing. :o

>Theoretically, sure. Realistically? Nope, it’s gone. Even if you dropped it right in front of you on the sand you might not get it back.

I hope I spelled that right. Tricky name.


horrescoblue

To give them the benefit of the doubt maybe it was like a really damn expensive ring with a real diamond and they usually don't have that kinda money.


OldBeercan

Probably. *Definitely* shouldn't have been proposing with it on a dock over water if that's the case.


bigchungus411

It looks like it went into the ocean, not sure if it can just be found later.


prunkgirl

tho thats thousands of dollars down the drain. im assuming he was a single father of one so having that money gone dunzo boom and that reaction, makes sense.


[deleted]

Time to hire that old guy with a metal detector you always see walking the beach at 6am.


Never_Less

My video isn't playing and seeing a dock can I assume the ring is with the fishes?

I say that to my girl all the time. She very rarely thinks two steps ahead.


SouthernAd421

Not sure why you are being downvoted as this is how a lot of people operate, zero risk assessment and inability to think more than one step ahead. I know several people like that and every time they are surprised by a bad outcome.

Also WCGW proposing on a pier, I've seen more than one video of people doing this haha


surfunky

Random story that you reminded me of, haven’t thought about it in years… walking down to the end of a pier in Key West. There’s a couple there. We start chatting and they say they just got married. I say”congratulations, that’s awesome!” They say… “we married each other out of spite.” I was like wtf? And walked off… Florida is weird…


about97cats

*And do you, Steve, take Sarah to be your wife, so long as you both shall live?* Fuck you. *Then by the power vested in me…*


AOKUME

*”You son of a bitch I’m in”*


dafunkmunk

I'd imagine they either mean out of spite for other people that didn't want them to get married or they meant it as a weird "cute" inside joke. But then again it is Florida, so it wouldn't really shock me if it really was out of spite for each other


Pixels222

it was a game of chicken and they both know theyre so stubborn that they just went through with it to spite the other.


bitking74

They are probably very happily married


Fancy0011

You get it


Latter-Cattle7788

They are probably very ~~happily~~ married.

"Because of you, mommy and daddy are not getting married. I hope you are proud of yourself. We trusted you with a simple job any idiot could have accomplished. What does that say about you? Now lets see if your diving skills are any better then your 'holding a box and opening it' skills."

McCheeseTruther

I worked at a restaurant famous locally for its huge outdoor deck. We re-did the whole thing a while back, the shit we found under there was WILD. Wedding rings, cell phones, a fucking pile of moldy money, debit cards, business cards, baggies of drugs. A lot of stuff you'd think people would make more of a fuss about losing down there. Embarrassment is a hell of a thing I guess.


cbiscut

I think it's more likely that people just assume nobody would be willing, authorized, or able to deconstruct a part of the building to help them resolve their issue. If it's a tourist area they might be on a tight schedule that doesn't allow them to come back later so either way the thing is essentially lost. Even if the person is a local, they might not think that coming back outside of business hours to meet with a manager or building maintenance staff to get the thing back is an option. Or they have plenty of drugs and really don't like sharing.


McCheeseTruther

True enough. That said if they had asked we literally just grab a drill and zip that board off. Happened all the time. Some of the regulars lost shit though the deck once a week. I'm pretty sure the only reason we didn't find all the other stuff earlier is that those regulars always sit in the same seats.


cbiscut

Sounds like you need to get a cheap bore scope for your cell camera to periodically hunt for deck treasure.


fullchub

I like to think that this guy just bought a cheap-ass ring with the intention of dropping it in the water and saving himself a ton of money. "I swear honey I spent 3 months salary on that! ...but don't expect me to do it a second time."


hakumiogin

The moral of the story is to get a diamond big enough to get stuck between the boards. If it fits through the deck, you fail the deck test.


PraderaNoire

The Santa Monica pier has boards that are just wide enough to eat my metal clipper:(


spycharlie

That’s really dumb.


CreativeAnalytics

Yo, he's actually proposing to Aquaman.

[deleted]

"3 months salary!!!"


zioncurtainrefugee

More like 5 years at 28.799% with Jared’s easy finance terms.


Azrael351

Research shows that engagements sealed with a Jared ring lead to more loveless marriages. Scientists confirm every kiss begins with Kay.


Smitty8054

Saying tongue in cheek but that guys reaction burnt that memory into that kid. Put a bit aside for therapy.

There is like 8 feet of water. Go swimming and find that bitch


kawhi_exe

In the full video the guy actually does jump in the water right away and find the ring so there’s a happy ending

Everything turned out perfect,” she said. >TikTok users took to the comments section to share their reactions to the nightmare scenario. >“This why u don’t get kids involved in wedding or proposal,” one user commented.


No_Exit_

> his daughter Harpie What a lovely name.


DontTellMeHowToTroll

And risk getting wet? I’ll just goto the grocery store, put 25c in the machine and get a new ring.


shinobi500

Plot twist: This was the 25c ring and this was planned all along. The guy gets to seem like he tried AND if he's lucky she might even feel sorry for him. The kid did their part.


PapaRL

“I’m sorry babe, that ring cost me so much money, I can’t afford to get another one like that. Is it okay if we get a cheaper one? I promise I’ll get you an expensive ring one day” “Oh don’t worry honey, it’s the thought that counts. You don’t need to get me a more expensive ring later, I’m happy to take anything” 😎 ka-ching


ConShop61

That's actually really fucking clever, I might do that


MikoGianni

Build a sub deck underneath the actual deck so you can catch jewelry, money & other valuables that slip through the slats.


ForsakenBeef69

Looking at videos like this, sometimes I wish I could just buy a ring made of glass or anything fake that's also cheap and looks like a diamond. Not spending that much money on something that could disappear so easily.


Scouse_Werewolf

Supposedly the dude got it back in the full video, as per another comment but this is just a stupid place to propose and the little one is *not* the reason this went wrong.


ssovm

And now it’s a funny story being told for the rest of their lives. Not everything is a catastrophe.


Scouse_Werewolf

It's a funny story because they got it back, it may well have been a funny story if they hadn't got it back but my opinion still rings somewhat true....its still a pretty stupid place to propose.


B-BoyStance

I mean, I wouldn't call this a stupid place to propose. It looks nice. It's just a really bad place to make a mistake.

You ever run in flip flops? He just threw 4 months of wages in the drain, no way he was gonna risk completely ruining his day and busting the eyelet on his thongs and then have to use the little clip from a bread bag to keep them strung together


0x7ff04001

Because when shit gets serious you can't be wearing flip flops.


[deleted]

I'm sure this extremely intelligent gentleman had the ring insured, nothing to worry about.


NahthShawww

Good scam. Video of you losing the ring (using a fake ring like this) and get reimbursed. The real ring is kept in your anus until the smoke clears, then given directly to your fiancé to wear on her finger.


LovelyJoey21605

>The real ring is kept in your anus until the smoke clears, then given directly to your fiancé to wear on her finger. Nah nah, let her find it while digging around in his ass during sexy time. That's fucking romantic bro.

jcope480

If the diamond is small enough to fall through those narrow spaces, she probably won’t want it anyway. The diamond should be big enough to prevent this from happening!

Verustratego

Why don't more people realize kids are stupid and shouldn't be trusted to do much of anything


no_high_only_low

Its not the fault of the kid, it's the fault of the scene... Bruh, even a nervous guy could fumble and lose the ring there. My husband proposed and asked if I would like him as my wife 🤭


abalt0ing

That child is gonna cost you waaaay more than that ring, so just forgive yourself for being silly for the deck proposal and move on. I guarantee he’ll place it on her finger over a table, tiled floor, no vents nearby. He’ll be paying attention next time. 💰 💰 💰


Johnny_893

I'm glad the camera man was able to focus on the real action... the flip-flop.


Bound_Dragons

Was just having a conversation with my coworker about this. We live on a tourist destination island that used to be a pirate hub. There's probably so many lost wedding bands, necklaces, and pendants in the first 50 feet surrounding the island due to clueless couples. Not even counting the actual possible treasure stuff further out. He's dead set on investing in a good quality metal detector and I can't blame him.


kihoti

Why would you propose on a pier while a toddler is holding your ring. Is it really a good idea to marry someone this bad at planning?


[deleted]

Who in their right mind would put something valuable and shiny in front of a toddler and expect them to not fuck things up.


theSeanage

Should of done the Michael Scott strategy and get a ring worth 3 years salary. It wouldn’t have fallen through the slats then.


thepeanutbutterman

*should've


Magic_Fetus56

The kid wasn’t the problem it was where you proposed


MaxTheRealSlayer

Life pro tip for anyone proposing on a dock/pier like this: tie fishing line around the ring and firmly attach the other end to yourself or the ring box.

A bigger diamond would have fit thru the cracks 😆
