Today, I was falling in love with the nostalgia of having handwritten love letters and flowers left on my windshield. Turns out my "secret admirer" was just a mean prank conjured up by my coworkers. They laughed. I cried, hard. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that the "secret admirer" I've been exchanging letters with for the last three months, and even started developing feelings for, is actually my ex best friend trying to pull a prank on me. FML
Today, I was in a terrific mood after finding a bouquet of beautiful flowers on my doorstep when I came home. That is, until I recognised the handwriting of my "secret admirer" was the same as my mother's. FML
Today, I wanted to surprise my partner by leaving a love letter on his car's windshield while he was at work. He texted me later saying, “You know you left that on my coworker’s car, right?” Now some stranger thinks I want to “snuggle forever.” FML
Today, I sent a love letter I'd written meant for my crush to a friend so she could evaluate my prose before I actually sent it to him. For some reason, my emotions got the best of me, and I mistakenly CC'd my mom. She replied with three crying-with-laughter emojis. FML
Today, I found out that the person sending me secret love letters was actually my dad, who felt sorry for me. FML
Today, just so my family would think someone might actually be interested in me, I bought myself roses and attached a secret admirer card to them. My plan would have worked if I hadn't forgotten to take the receipt off the kitchen counter. FML
Today, I got flowers from a secret admirer. Turns out they were from my sister's in-laws who own a flower shop. Apparently, everyone feels bad that I'm single and they are convinced I'm gonna die alone. FML
Today, I emailed my crush an anonymous love letter. It wasn't until twenty minutes later that I realized that the email address I used contained my full name. FML
Today, I resorted to buying some expensive flowers and sending them to my boss anonymously with a mysterious love letter, just to get her to lighten the hell up and stop constantly harassing and berating me over every little thing. FML
Today, I got flowers sent to my work, I happily opened them in front of my co-workers thinking they were from my crush, I open the card to see "Love you, from mom". My mother thinks my love life is so pathetic, thats she needs to send me flowers to cheer me up. FML

I’d file a grievance. This is workplace bullying. If they don’t attempt to resolve this, find a lawyer. You don’t deserve to be the butt end of a cruel joke.

I'm sorry. This is, quite frankly, bullying, and you should report it to HR.

Feel free to set fire to all their shit once you have a new job lined up.

Bust their windshields with a bat or a hammer and laugh maniacally.

That's obviously not acceptable behaviour from anyone. I agree that it sucks but I don't agree your life sucks. 😊

Wow... the depravity of some people never ceases to amaze me. You've got a lawsuit on your hands. You should be able to quit your job with enough of a settlement that you'll be taken care of for many years. We all know that it would be detrimental to your mental health, and well being, for you to be forced to return to your place of employment {or any employment, really} without suffering severe apprehension, and undue stress. Shop around for a lawyer, too. Don't just take the first one that offers to help you. You've got an open and shut case; but the amount of damages that you're entitled to will come down to how good your lawyer is.
