- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -3/+43I think she's sad about losing IT because it is symbolically all she has left of HIM. I thought it was pretty clear that her sorrow over the ring was due to the fact that her husband was gone.
- cl2yp71c, on 09/07/2008, -5/+45Replace the damn ring you *****!
- enantiodromia, on 09/08/2008, -10/+50what does her husband being the Marines have to do with anything?
when my pizza is delivered late, i don't mention my brother is in the army. - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -1/+27Diamonds as a Motivational Poster:

(Older than the internets for some....) - dracostimpy, on 09/08/2008, -20/+45"I have spent multiple nights sobbing because my ring is gone. And now that my husband is deployed to Iraq, it is even more painful not to have it."
Seems to me, she'd be better off sobbing about the husband in a war zone than the missing ring. What good is the ring if you're a widow? Worry about HIM, not IT. - ncapone, on 09/07/2008, -0/+17After working at the jewelry department in JCPenney for a year, I can only sympathize with her after seeing things like this happen all the time. I don't think the repair technicians who work for giant chains like Kay or Zales have the same care and respect for their customers' jewelry as some of the better-trained jewelry stores who repair jewelry on site. Next time I would suggest going to a well-known but single franchise jewelry store and asking them to repair your jewelry. They may charge more, but having it done right rather than quickly is a much better investment.
- GoKings, on 09/08/2008, -3/+18I can just imagine how that would go...
"And I'm sitting here, it's been 45 minutes, and I have no pizza! My brother's in Iraq, and I was just in TEARS, because I know that he's in Iraq where there isn't any decent pizza. I ordered this pizza with the thought of him on my mind... and now not only is there a high possibility of him getting killed, but I'm HUNGRY!" - kinggimped, on 09/08/2008, -3/+18Hi, my husband is in the military.
He's in the military.
I had a glass of orange juice this morning, but my husband is in the military. The orange juice had bits in it, even though I and my military-bound husband asked for Tropicana smooth.
This is an outrage, and my husband is also angry, even though he is currently deployed in Iraq. In the military.
Please help me and my husband, who is in the military. He is in the military, and also he is in the military.
PS My husband is in the military. - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+15Why did you post some moronic rant about Verizon here?
I see that you posted it in a couple places it didn't belong.
Do you really really hate Verizon, or are you just stupid? - Alvantoai, on 09/08/2008, -0/+14its funny to read the comments that have been "disemvoweled" or whatever (where they found a comment inappropriate they removed all the vowels...)
- mistamoose, on 09/08/2008, -2/+12Kay, do the right thing, replace the ring!
- RyeBrye, on 09/08/2008, -2/+123rd sentence in...
"Before he left I took his wedding ring to be re-dipped in gold to make it look nice before he left"
I hate when people refer to re-plating rings as "dipping" them. It just sounds so stupid because that's obviously not what the process involves. - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6Right, but what does your husband do?
- ThaDRD, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6but...but "every kiss begins with Kay!" lulz
- CMuffa, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6I'm calling ***** because of the part where she says: "It was originally purchased on 7/20/07 (our wedding day)"
So let's get this straight. You and your hubby, who may or may not be in the military, left the alter, hopped in the limo, went over to the jewelry store and bought a ring to put on your finger for your holy marriage? I'm curious, did you hop back in the limo, drive back to the church and finish the ceremony? Or did the priest and the congregation go to the jewelry store with you? - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -1/+7....rule one......never ***** with a woman's wedding ring.....EVER.
- Cpt0bvius, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6Eww, thats an ugly ass ring
- poppacherry, on 09/08/2008, -1/+7She's a damn name dropper. I live in Los Angeles and we have those bitches all over the place, "OMG, so I was talking to this guy Mark... you know, Mark Burne-..."
*sigh* - s0nicfreak, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6Bawww I gave my shinny thing to a mall jeweler (wat they're always trustworthy) and now its not the same anymore
- FlameMage, on 09/08/2008, -1/+6I can't believe this guy called me out on being a loosser :(
- synystar, on 09/08/2008, -1/+6Start by scanning articles for important bits. It won't be long before you're reading whole paragraphs at a time. Sounds kinda weird but it's true. You don't need those speed reading courses. Your brain already has the capability. It just doesn't know it yet.
- enantiodromia, on 09/08/2008, -0/+5hah and thats the thing, her husband is in SAN DIEGO. iv'e been to san diego, and the only dangerous thing that can happen to you there is waking up in Tijuana.
- bigp3rm, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4Although this is bad business I have no sympathy for people that buy into the diamond market.
- DrPh0bius, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4I heard he was in the military, but I could be mistaken...
- Osirus1156, on 09/08/2008, -1/+5Dear christ...
- synystar, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4Bury and Report. Two clicks for justice.
- dasamps, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4Kind of a shame service has disappeared in America. And people think VW dealerships have remarkably bad service....seems less remarkable after you hear about Comcast, Kay Jewelers, etc.
- acemenace, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4If the ring has any sentimental value then I understand, but clearly since she wants it replaced, it does not. That ring is made with diamond chips and cannot cost more than $100 wholesale. Kay should just replace it.
- JoeB4ever, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4I work in retail, and people throw that card all the time.
- DrPh0bius, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4I would be equally callous. Justice is justice, and no one deserves more or less justice than someone else.
I think the OP is merely trying to illustrate that many people use the "Iraq" angle as a way to garner extra sympathy for their personal point of view... from this situation to something mundane as a pizza.
If anything, this woman is trying to allude that she should be granted more consideration from Kay Jewelers due to her husband being is Iraq. "Hey, you can break the rules for me... my husband is a soldier."
Right is right, wrong is wrong, no matter if youre a soldier or a mailman. - vertinox, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4People like you make Da Beers rather wealthy. Love got nothing to do diamond rings and gold.
If your a douche to your wife/husband, buying something expensive doesn't change this this fact. In fact... It just says "Here... I don't want to bother with you emotionally." - diemunkiesdie, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4No the ring is not from Kay Jewelers, good job reading the article!
- shuffleslide, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4hehe, i loled :)
also take a look at the comments on the page, people are giving out to some guy called yohenyo for being callous in the absolute worse use i have ever seen of txt speak. - ROBINEW, on 09/08/2008, -1/+4Use 409 and a tooth brush and save yourself the headaches.
- moviscop, on 09/08/2008, -3/+6It is lame how the blog killed the first comment on the post. So true in so many ways.
First post, disemvoweled: lk hw sh trd t s th fct tht hr hsbnd ws n th mltry t gt sympthy. Tht ws ttlly nncssry.
Possibly the most logical comment of them all and it was censored. - rolf, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3At the $40 she mentions is a semi-regular thing, she might as well get a real gold wedding band for him in the longterm. It's not that expensive and an 18K+ will keep it's color forever. Plating will always wear off.
- EndouOuto, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3And diamonds aren't even rare, the monopoly that controls
the retail market keeps the price artificially high. - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -2/+5As if there was any sanctity left in marriage *rolls eyes*
Don't kid yourself people. The diamond/wedding ring is a cliche symbol that has been pimped out by advertisers for cash, as divorce rates steadily climb. Not to mention that high diamond demand helps fuel horrible conflict in Africa that most people are uncomfortable spending any significant amount of time even considering. - DrDabbles, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3When they said a small diamond was missing, they REALLY meant small.
- dracostimpy, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3"who has KNOW idea"... and I'm the dumbass, you say?
- inigomntoya, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2I don't see why you are being dugg down here. If I were to take my then future wife to a Fred Meyer or a Target to get a ring, our relationship would end then and there. The only difference between those two and a Kay's or Zales is that you have to walk to a food court to get a hot dog and you can't put it on the same purchase.
- falstaff, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2I don't get it. Are we believing stuff on Consumerist again?
- penkwin, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2Well. I'll certainly avoid Kay.
It'll be easy since I don't have any nice jewelry. - DrPh0bius, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2I used to like the Consumerist... but its really become kind of a bitching ground for one sided stories. Ive seen so many people telling a story that seemed VERY fishy, and if anyone mentions such, everyone jumps on them for being anti-consumer.
And as mentioned, her husbands being in the military is irrelevant, and is just mentioned as a ploy for more sympathy. Right is right, wrong is wrong. - MAARRS, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3whinner. The dry cleaner lost my shirts and my husband is in the military.
***** consumerist/gawker spam - RoadDoggFL, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2To prevent people from saying "***** the ring, enjoy your husband."
Or however you'd want to arrange those words... - DrDabbles, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2My girlfriend is a graduate from an actual jewelers program, now working in a jewelry store. Not a store like you imagine these days, but in independently owned and operated store, where jewelry is ordered, customized, and repaired by talented people. Every time someone tells an employee at her store that they have been to Zales, Jared, Belden, or whatever mega-chain you have near you, they laugh. Not at your misfortune, but that you could have received better service, quality, and care at a smaller shop. Most times, you can even get comparable or BETTER prices at small stores.
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3Meanwhile about 100,000 people starved to death. STFU!!
- c64plus4, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2Never goto Kay. They're crap.
