public rejection, the Planet Dolan crew re-enact

Dolan
One day Dolan and his brother went to watch
a baseball game. During the intermission,
Dolan looked at the big screen and saw a guy
getting down on one knee. The words ‘Will
You Marry Me?’ flashed on screen and everyone
in the stadium started cheering.
But then Dolan and his brother noticed something…
The woman was shaking her head no! The guy
got shot down and everyone in the stadium
saw it! Talk about awkward…
Number 9 was submitted by _drunkmuffins_ Emojie
One night Emojie took a walk to a local lookout.
It was pitch black and Emojie could barely
see. As he was walking up the stairs he accidentally
tripped over a stranger who was down on one
knee. The stranger dropped the small ring
he was holding and swore. The ring bounced
twice and came very close to going over the
edge!
It turned out the guy was in the middle of
popping the question to his girlfriend. Emojie
felt terrible about ruining his big moment.

LadyBot
When LadyBot was in middle school she was
dating the cutest boy in her grade. He was
really sweet and would give her gifts and
compliments all the time. One day he got down
on one knee, pulled out a plastic ring and
asked LadyBot if she would marry him. Just
as LadyBot was about to answer he shouted
“Psych!” and threw the ring across the
playground. He then told her he was sick of
being her boyfriend and was officially breaking
up with her.
LadyBot was so mad that she kicked him in
the stomach in front of a huge crowd of people.
After that they never said another word to
each other.
Number 7 was submitted by LadyLolipop Pandora
One time Pandora went out drinking with her
friends for St. Patrick’s Day. Halfway through
the night she lost her friends and met a cute
guy who was just as drunk as she was!
The pair hit it off right away and were soon
hugging, kissing and drunkenly declaring their
love for each other. After a mean singalong
to the Backstreet Boys, the drunken stranger
surprised Pandora by getting down on one knee
and proposing to her! Pandora was really weirded
out by this, so she made up a fake excuse
and backed away from him. She never saw him
again and sometimes imagines how her life
would’ve turned out if she’d said yes…
Number 6 was submitted by _Derpnado Hellbent
Hellbent had a friend who was dating a stage-five
clinger. The girl was really insecure and
always had to know where her boyfriend was
and who he was. The pair fought constantly
and, in Hellbent’s opinion, the whole relationship
was just one huge drama.
One day Hellbent signed into Facebook and
saw that the relationship had took a turn
for the insane. Hellbent’s friend had left
an actual marriage proposal on his girlfriend’s
Facebook wall! He immediately called his friend
to talk some sense into him and discovered
the proposal wasn’t actually his doing!
Apparently the crazy girlfriend had secretly
signed into his Facebook account and left
the fake proposal on her own wall! Everyone
dropped comments to offer their congratulations,
but Hellbent was just astounded.
The worst part is that Hellbent’s friend
actually went along with this and is now married
to this psycho. With a rock-solid foundation
like that you just know they’re in for a
long, healthy relationship…
Number 5 was submitted by mittens1295 Doopie
When Doopie was seventeen she had a really
bad case of laryngitis. All day she had terrible
coughing fits that made her want to vomit!
Doopie’s boyfriend at the time spent all
day taking care of her. He even got her some
medicine and ran her a hot bubble bath with
candles so she could soak for awhile.
When she was feeling better he climbed in
the bath with her and they had a long conversation
about how much they loved each other. When
they finished talking Doopie’s boyfriend
was so full of love that he spontaneously
popped the question! Doopie said yes and they
had a great romantic night together.
Unfortunately it wasn’t long before Doopie’s
boyfriend started having second thoughts…
But instead of telling Doopie that he’d
changed his mind he decided to just pretend
the whole romantic bath proposal never happened!
When their friends asked about their engagement
he told them Doopie had made the whole thing
up! They ended up breaking up over it, so
I guess the lesson there is … don’t mix
proposals with bath time?

Ramona
When Ramona was young her parents tried to
get her to have an arranged marriage with
a guy named Eric. Since Ramona and Eric had
never spoken they decided to go on a date
to the mall. When Eric showed up Ramona was
shocked at how tall and handsome he was. They
walked around getting to know each other and
the whole time Eric was a complete gentleman.
They soon got hungry and decided to go to
the food court. Eric ordered their food while
Ramona stared dreamily at her future husband.
But that’s when she noticed a few red flags.
While he was in line Ramona caught Eric openly
flirting with the girls around him! Then the
fast food attendant came over with Eric’s
order. He noticed she’d messed up the order
and blew up. He screamed at the girl, calling
her an idiot and throwing his coke in her
face!
The whole food court was looking at him. He
then fixed up his order and smiled at Ramona
like nothing had happened. But Ramona was
like “Nope!” and got out of there as fast
as she could. She told her family she would
not be marrying this asshole and is still
a happy single Pringle. Meanwhile Eric ended
up marrying a mean gold digger. Guess he got
what he deserved!

Kyle
One night Kyle was enjoying a quiet drink
at an old redneck bar. But the couple next
to him was really drunk and noisy. The guy
kept going on and on about how much he loved
his girlfriend. After awhile Kyle saw the
guy get up and stumble over to the dance floor.
He grabbed the DJ’s microphone and slurred
his way through a completely spontaneous marriage
proposal.
Everyone in the bar was laughing at him, but
they still raised their drinks and cheered.
The woman said, “Yes!” so the DJ played
the most appropriate redneck wedding song
he had: Billy Idol’s ‘White Wedding’.
Kyle thought the whole thing was quite sweet…
but he also doubted either of them would remember
it the next morning!
Number 2 was submitted by mantha_1218 Shima
One time Shima’s boyfriend of only four
months decided to propose to her. His whole
plan was just a total disaster. Firstly, he
got a hold of the ring from Shima’s aunt’s
failed engagement. He then took a can of sweet
corn from Shima’s mom’s pantry and placed
the ring on top. Then he wrote on the can:
“I know it’s corny, but will you marry
me?”
He yelled for Shima to come come into the
kitchen and she found him on his knee and
a can of graffitied corn on the table. Amazingly,
Shima said yes, but his lack of effort while
proposing turned out to be a sign of what
was to come. Let’s just say he’s no Husband
of the Year…
