Default flowers

I went to a florist today, to send two yellow roses for colleagues at work.

The florist asked if I wanted to send a card.

I said, no. I want them to be anonymous.

He said he had been sued by the recipient when his company had sent flowers without cards, so would not deliver the rose.

So, I delivered them myself in person. He lost the delivery fee.

I didn't know roses could be threatening.

America, the beautiful, from sea to shining sea.

Post Now I've been around the legal block a few times.

Delivery of roses without a card is not a cause for a lawsuit? If he really was sued, I'm sure it was thrown out of court.

I think He just didn't want to deliver the flowers and this was a way to get out of the delivery.

There were no laws broken, no one was harmed. Lawsuit, sounds fishy to me.

I buy my flowers at Kroger now and deliver them myself.... Much cheaper, better selection, and no hassle. Florists charge way too much, and the quality is not that good anymore, unless you are willing to pay a lot.

This may or may not come as a surprise, but sending anything anonymously (or unwanted) COULD be considered a form of stalking.

If a woman receives a gift and doesn't know who it came from, that also can be seen as a threat.

That's a sad commentary on the world we live in today.

Yes, it is a sad commentary that when your intent was to bring a bit of joy into someone's life that you could get sued for it.

I'm sure the florist regretted the extra income, but it would not have been worth the hassle of someone getting "offended" by a flower. What I would like to know is what shark of an attorney would even accept such a complaint?

Post Stalking NOW that's a stretch.

Still can't see any grounds for a lawsuit! Sounds very fishing to me.

Sharks and little fishies
Keith and sealady, reading your posts together, I can see it. Caring is a liability; hot coffee is an opportunity.
