A guy who recently purchased an engagement ring for his girlfriend was outraged when a local jewelry store spoiled his surprise engagement.

According to Consumerist, the guy (referred to simply as S.) purchased an engagement ring from a large jewelry chain. The couple have been dating for five years, so S’s girlfriend knew he was about to propose, she just didn’t know when.

One day while picking up the mail, S’s girlfriend found a piece of junk mail from the jewelry store. The surprise proposal was ruined.

When the couple went to the store to complain, the store said the couple should have asked not to receive any mail. Of course, the problem is that the couple did request not to receive any mail.

So because of a  piece of junk mail soliciting for S. to sign up for a membership card, a surprise proposal worth thousands of dollars was ruined.

“This was supposed to be one of the best moments of our lives (especially after being together for so long) and [the store] didn’t even care,” S said. “I called them and they didn’t offer to fix it. They didn’t do anything.”

The comments at Consumerist had a lot to say on the matter. Some of them sided with the couple while others sided with the store and thought the couple was overreacting.

Whose side are you on? Is it the store’s fault or is the couple overreacting?
