Today, I arranged to have some flowers delivered at work for Valentine's Day so that my colleagues will think someone likes me. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I bought myself a flower for Valentine's Day to be delivered to myself from "Anonymous". 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 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 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, 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
Today, I sent flowers to my ex, scheduled to be delivered after work in the evening. She texted me at midday thanking me for the flowers. I looked at my shipping order and they haven’t been sent yet. 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 sent the girl I like flowers, only to have her later post a picture of them online, saying, "Ha! When losers send you flowers." FML
Today, I received a bunch of flowers from my 'lover'. This would be fine, except that I don't have a lover, and my boyfriend now thinks I'm cheating. FML
Today, my Mom came to pay me a short visit at college. She handed me some flowers, which were a Valentine's Day gift, because she "figured I wouldn't be getting any from anyone else this year." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

good idea... so everyone who might be interested in you will think "oh damn, she's engaged, i've got no chance anyway". makes sure you stay lonely.

Aww, that's pretty sad. FYL :/

What?! The only sad thing is buying your self flowers. This is ridiculous, i can't believe the people of FML voted FYL!?

I agree with #53. Maybe instead of buying YOURSELF flowers, you could have bought flowers (or candy) for your co-workers. Then people would like you and you might get lucky instead of feeling sorry for yourself!

56, is that a *****? :S

That doesn't look like a *****. Just because she has a cylindrical object does not mean it's a *****. It looks like a Bomb Pop to me.

Sorry, but that's sad. There must be someone in your life, and Valentine's Day is just a publicity stunt. It used to mean something! Don't feel bad, but I'd advise you to get a social life; or a change in attitude.
afdude87 6
I agree with yhe change of attitude, sending flowers to yourself is just sad. no one honestly cares if you have a valentine or not

It's rather pathetic. I understand being alone, because I had a lot of "alone" time in my life but I would NEVER do anything even remotly similar.

Oh yes, obviously flowers for Valentines Day = engagement. It's as good as a proposal! Oh shit, I better call off the flowers for my girlfriend. And yes OP, don't care about Valentines Day. Honestly, it's a stupid "holiday" if you wanna call it that.

i was thinking the same thing... I got flowers today... should I have said 'no' rather then thank you when taking them? oh shit.. am I engaged?

16 did you send flowers to your girlfriend even though you think it's a stupid holiday? I'm shocked that so many people (especially guys) hate VD. It shouldn't be looked upon as a burden but a simple way to let your love one know how much you care about them. It's not like Christmas. It's between only you and your love one. What's wrong with making you SO feel special? And it doesn't need to cost a fortune. The stores have tons of inexpensive gift ideas.

I don't know who would like VD at all. I'll like valentines day before I ever like VD.

11 has a point and i agree.. quit being smartasses, screw the engagement part, if you see someone at the office who receives some flowers you know you Will think that theres a chance it might be from his/her lover, so yeah if youre shy and had a crush on that person it might be enough to discourage you from asking him/her out.. everybody loses..

30, You do realise that was part of the sarcasm, I didn't really send my girlfriend flowers. All I meant was that it's a commercial holiday which IS, in the end, in order to get money out of people. If you do have a spouse, then yes, it'd be nice to do something for it (Though nothing exeggerated). Otherwise, you don't have to feel like the loneliest person in the world. Who even cares about Valentines Day? If you've been alone for a year you've been alone for all 365 days, not just on 14/02.

No. 11, you are right. A new hire in our office blatted on and on about her 'husband' and wore a cheap band, pretending to be married because she had a child and didn't want everyone to know she was really an unwed mother (this was back in the 1980s when that mattered more). She was so stupid it didn't dawn on her that she gave herself ZERO chance of meeting anyone through work because everyone thought she was married. She had a HUGE crush on a guy and it went nowhere because for a long time he thought she was married, then when she came out with the truth, he thought she was deceitful and kind of nutty.

I agree with what you're saying, sourgirl. I'm not a fan of the commercial Valentine's Day with all the forced romance. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with a day that reminds you to be loving towards your SO. My husband and I have been together forever and we are still in love with each other but we're not a treacly couple. A few times a year we stop being best friends, partners, mum and dad, etc. and remind each other why we started all of this. We don't do it with cards and candy though. True romance isn't a bad thing.

your dumb!! when he said vd he meant valentine's day...duh----

WOW! Does it really matter? who cares what people think. if you don't have a valentine don't lie about it
