Today, instead of watching a movie like a normal family, we performed random acts of kindness by handing out roses to total strangers in the freezing cold. No one would take them. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after a romantic dinner, movie, and stroll in the park, we had our first kiss. It would have been perfect, had a passerby not thrown rubbish at us for "unnecessary public display of affection." 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, my aunt and I wanted to do something nice. So we made cookies for a local nursing home. After tasting them, nobody ate any. FML
Today, I went caroling with some family friends. We got pelted with oranges. FML
Today, for my birthday, my family offered to take one of my friends to the movies with me. I had to pay a random person in my class to pose as a friend of mine, so that I wouldn't look pathetic in front of my parents. She forgot my name three times. They didn't buy it. FML
Today, I bought myself a flower for Valentine's Day to be delivered to myself from "Anonymous". 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, 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, a group of carolers was coming up my street, so I went out in the cold to wait for them. When they finally arrived, I waved and greeted them. They huddled up discussing something while pointing at me, then skipped my house. FML
Today, I drove 45 min from my college to surprise my girlfriend with roses after she got off work. She responded by taking the roses, dumping them in her back seat, and speeding off because she couldn't miss Survivor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would someone take them? You were handing out roses to strangers in the freezing cold. People probably thought you were ****** in the head. Wouldn't want to get some sort of anthrax laced rose or something.

Well handing out flowers - most people would suspect that there is an ulterior motive and rather not getting into a talk about some weird religion or marketing initiative for some product nobody needs. Then there is the freezing cold thing - it's inconvenient carrying a flower in the first place, it's even more annoying when it's cold and you'd prefer to put your hands into your pockets. Also strangers ... well men typically don't like flowers - they don't get any joy out of them so what's the point? Just carrying some plant around - what a bother. Women are more likely to enjoy flowers, but then it would be a personal gift - a flower from someone means something. A flower from nobody in particular mean nothing. Good intentions, but volunteer at a soup kitchen instead. It's useful, a rewarding experience and you are not even out in the cold.

Why would you do that in the freezing cold?

how much is a rose? hand out dollar bills instead. The only one you were kind to was the florist.

6- Because everyone out there has cruel intentions, and would hand out anthrax laced roses. Sure........ People aren't allowed to show kindness to others, because everyone is so damn skeptical.

38 - Yep, that's pretty much how most people feel "nowadays."

Depending on OP's location, it could be a strange enough activity for people be freaked out by. Though I can't think of any place where such a thing is normal day-to-day routine. People usually *sell* roses, and these guys didn't feel like giving you money.

38 - Because the world is one big rainbow and everyone is full of good intentions.. What's kind about handing out a rose in the freezing cold anyway? that's dumb. Give them a heating pad instead.

That's sweet, I would have taken one!

I agree, it's a rose in winter, they're not easy to find at that time. Heck, I wouldn't taken one and helped you hand them out.

No one in The City of Roses would accept a rose? What is this world coming to?

That's sweet, I really think that was by far the anti-fail for you, the fail is to people who didn't accept the roses ;)
