Love, Lonely, Shopping and Solitude: Flowers (Nothing But)

Flowers (Nothing But)

By ThisIsMyLife - 15/09/2019 12:00

Today, I bought flowers with my groceries at the grocery store. After the cashier scanned them, he handed them back to me so they wouldn't get crushed in my cart. It was then that I realized he's the first man to ever hand me flowers. FML

Today, I bought some flowers. As I was checking out, the cashier asked, "Aww, these for your mom? How sweet." I responded they were for a girl I liked. She laughed and said, "Sorry…" FML

Today, on the way out to buy groceries, my boyfriend asked if I'd like him to buy some of my favourite flowers. Happy with his rare show of affection, I said yes. When he returned, he gave me a bag of our usual brand of flour and laughed hysterically in my face. FML

Panic mode

Today, I felt like doing a good deed, so when I bought something at a store I told the cashier to keep the change. The cashier then panicked and said, “What do I do???” Turns out, I was her first ever customer. FML

Today, at work as a cashier, I was scanning cantaloupes. The man buying them then looked me straight in the eye and said, "Nice melons." FML

Today, I went to the store to pick up some feminine products. As I was paying, the male cashier looked at me sympathetically and asked if it was my girlfriend's time of the month. I'm a girl and was buying them for myself. FML

Today, a guy from work that I barely know gave me sunflowers for my birthday. He told me, "You mentioned they were your favorite." I mentioned it to my family at home a few days ago. FML

Today, I bought the girl I like a bouquet of roses saying "Anonymous" on it, and left it on her front porch. She saw it, and called the guy she thought it was from. He said, "You're welcome!" and now they're going out. FML

Today, at work at a grocery store an old couple came through my checkout lane. As I was putting their bagged groceries in the cart, the old man started feeling me up. FML

Today, I got a bouquet of beautiful flowers from someone I'd never heard of. My boyfriend flipped his shit and stormed out, calling me a cheater. I called the flower shop. Turns out he made a fake order, just so he could accuse me of cheating and dump me. FML

The only time guys have given me flowers is either when they **** up, or want to ****. Buying your own flowers is far more pleasant in the long run

I have to say, men don't have to buy someone flowers. I always told my then bf and now husband to never buy me them, but he still does sometimes. Maybe if OP does have a bf, he gets her other things instead. If there's no BF or she never had one, then OP is going 'poor me' for a situation that has never even had the opportunity to happen..

Time for the Spanish Inquisition (I bet you weren't expecting this!): 1) How old are you? 2) Is this the first time you've ever bought flowers while being served by a male cashier? 3) If the answer to #2 is "No", is this the first time a male cashier has picked them up before you've had a chance to get them? 4) Have you ever had a boyfriend? 5) If the answer to #4 is "yes", what reason have they given for never buying you flowers?
