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
Collection
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 my work threw me a birthday party alongside my coworker’s birthday. Said coworker spread a rumor, telling everyone that I wanted each person to buy me flowers and cake. Everyone thought that I was a weirdo for asking for those things from them. I wasn't at work today. FML
Today, I went into work and noticed one of my fellow colleagues had a large bunch of flowers on her desk. As soon as I saw her, I immediately said, "Happy Birthday!" Everyone went quiet. It wasn't her birthday; her father had died. FML
Today, I ordered flowers to be delivered to my workplace on Tuesday. To myself. For my birthday. Because even though birthdays are posted in the monthly newsletter, mine gets left out every year. For the past four years. FML
Today, my kids and husband brought me a bunch of ornamental cabbages for my birthday, rather than flowers. Why? Because, "you're more of a cabbage sort of person." Ah well, guess it's an improvement on last year when they forgot entirely. 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 arranged to have some flowers delivered at work for Valentine's Day so that my colleagues will think someone likes me. FML
Today, a guy left flowers on my doorstep. I got home to find my dad claiming he bought them for my mum. I told my parents they were mine, they laughed in my face. 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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You probably mentioned it at work as well and forgot. Relax.

Well you don't seem paranoid at all!

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you... ;)

Seeing as how this is on FML. Op finds it creepy and is freaked out because only her family knew about that a few days ago. The worker had no way of knowing unless he creeped on her, which he did, by talking to her family and being a weirdo.

Which he did? how freaking sure are you? Because my favorite flowers are super secret and only a selective few are worthy of knowing that.

obviously you MUST know the OP very well. maybe she should get a retraining order against you since you seem to know for 100% sure that she's never mentioned her favorite flowers to anyone other than her family

As far as she remembers, in recent history, she has only told her family. But she may not remember the day a customer had a sunflower necklace or someone's calendar had a picture of sunflowers and she said, "Those are my favorite." in passing. If this guy has had a crush on OP and overheard he'd remember, because things about her are important to him. That's not creepy. It's sweet. The real problem is likely that OP isn't attracted to this dude. Women don't typically get upset over cute guys giving them flowers.

This guy seems into you. Give him a chance. For all you know you could have nonchalantly mentioned in a conversion, and he took it to heart.

Maybe you mentioned it nonchalantly at work or something? Or you have a stalker on your hands.
