Today, I had to go to the hospital for an allergic reaction. Turns out, I'm highly allergic to cherry blossoms. My wife and I just bought a house and moved into a new neighborhood. Almost every block in this neighborhood, including my own, has rows and rows of cherry blossom trees. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to drive my girlfriend to the hospital because she had a severe allergic reaction to the flowers I brought her. FML
Today, I got excited when I learned that the fruit on the trees by my apartment building was ripe and free to pick. I picked myself some juicy summer plums and enjoyed them. Minutes later, my tongue started burning painfully. Turns out, I'm allergic to plums. FML
Today, I tried to do my leaf collection project for biology, which ended with me being hospitalized because of an allergy attack. I have no idea what I'm allergic to, but my doctor says I should just assume I'm "allergic to all leaves, ever." FML
Today, I had to be rushed to the hospital when I started sneezing uncontrollably and got a huge rash. It turns out I'm highly allergic to a chemical in most cleaning supplies. Great. I just got a job as a house cleaner for a very rich family. FML
Today, I found out about allergies suddenly getting worse out of nowhere when it happened to mine. I can hardly step outside without feeling like hell when I get back home, which was never the case before, and I'm going through allergy medicine like a drug addict (almost). FML
Today, I lit candles and scattered rose petals on the floor and on the furniture to surprise my girlfriend. When she came in, she sneezed uncontrollably because apparently she’s extremely allergic to these particular roses. The night ended with me driving her to the ER instead of dinner. FML
Today, I discovered I'm allergic to the new perfume I bought and now I smell like a hospital. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask my boss why the flowers I got her for her birthday the other day were in the conference room and not her office. She told me she was allergic to them and she had such a bad reaction that it made her go home early. I made my boss sick on her birthday. FML
Today, I was eating a mystery flavored candy and I had an allergic reaction. Not only did I have to go to the hospital because my throat swelled up, but I still don't know what I'm allergic to. FML
Today, I found out I was allergic to bees, the hard way, at my wedding. FML

Yes, lets let OP burn what they're allergic to. That way when OP breathes it in they will for sure die!

Part of me wonders how did you not find out sooner, but the blossoms are only just starting over here.

I'm not sure of this, but I think OP is allergic to the flower and not the tree by itself. Maybe OP bought the house when it wasn't in bloom like it should be at this season.

Don't worry. When times get hard, just take a minute to stop and smell the roses.

Don't you checkout the house before you buy it
isallwaysme 27
They could've checked out the house before they blossomed

Or just time to get a prescription allergy medicine

and just like that...a house went up for sale

And nothing was amiss when you first visited the house?? I'd think someone would notice it before buying the house

Cherry blossom trees don't flower all year round bud.
Koravel 10
Never said they did bud. But the thought is "wouldn't you want to see a house when it would look good" I.e. when they're blooming
happylappy 21
Not really a good point. Person 1: oh wow. What a beautiful house! It has a great view, a pool, and a huge yard! Person 2: no,honey. This house is amazing but I just have to wait until spring! Maybe we should just wait like 2 months so we can see those beautiful cherry blossoms. Person 1: yea ok, you're right. The house is actually a total dump now that you put it that way. Cherry blossoms tottallly make a house worth buying. Now does that scenario seem normal to you?

You can't just wait a few seasons to make sure the blossoms look nice enough when buying a house. The market is bad, but not THAT bad.
Koravel 10
I meant it like this: they wait to START looking, not just look, then be like "oh let's wait months" I mean, I know I'm stupid, but come on guys I'm not THAT stupid

I also think real estate tends to be lower in cooler months because most people put houses up for sale in warmer months (because people tend to move out in warmer months if they're planning a move) so if a house is on the market into the winter its probably come down in price at least a little.

u think u would know this by the time u could buy a house. better buy some stock and benadryl.
