As we all know, Valentine’s Day was this past Saturday. Valentine’s Day or “The Day All Of My Friends Got Engaged And I Didn’t” as it is now known at my house, is the day of love — and on this day of love, it is expected that you show your loved ones how much you care for them in the form of cheesy cards, stale chocolate, and overpriced flowers. Unfortunately for many, after shelling out the big bucks for said overpriced flowers, they got royally screwed over by national flower delivery service, 1-800-Flowers. Despite the website showcasing beautiful (and expensive) floral arrangements and promising that what you see is what you get, many who ordered were left asking “what the fuck is this?” as they looked at their $80 bouquet of roses. Going against everything that Valentine’s Day is supposed to represent, the company delivered dead, wilted, or frozen flowers to customers. You know, because nothing says “I love you” quite like a vase full of thorned sticks.
Unsurprisingly, people were pissed and took to social media to complain. Unlike all of the men who didn’t end up getting laid as a result of sending their girlfriends dead flowers, 1-800-Flowers now has quite the mess to clean up.

It's pathetic that @1800flowers resent dead flowers to replace the original ones that arrived dead. #getittogether pic.twitter.com/FKoxFoSq6e

If this situation has taught us anything, it’s that it could be worse. You could be doing customer service right now for 1-800-Flowers. .

“The Day All Of My Friends Got Engaged And I Didn’t” ….. the passive-aggressive comment ball is in your court McGannon
Well, at least Brian knows what to do when he eventually wants to end it. Just send shitty flowers so she gets pissed and ends the relationship for him. Job done.
“This rose, like our live. Is dead.”
Spent $90 on a “dozen roses” last year being delivered. They looked like shit and smelled weird. So this year I stopped by trader joes picked up a healthy looking dozen for $13, threw it in a $15 vase and hand delivered. 1/3 the price and 3 times the quality. PGPM.
this guy is smart. Trader Joe’s has quality flowers for cheap. forget roses, you can get orchids there for like $20.

Ugh…Get over yourself
