Love: Today, a guy from work that I barely know gave me sunflowers...

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

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, 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

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

How sweet! You should give him a restraining order!

Wow. Total creep status. I'd make a police report. Just incase, he sneaks into your room at night and murders you. Just saying.

A police report for a coworker giving her flowers is a bit much, a simple thank you and future conscientiousness would suffice.

I think killing OP is a bit extreme if OP is getting flowers.

No. Just saying. As it has been mentioned numerous times, she may have well mentioned it work at some point. He remembered and bought her a birthday gift. People need to relax and accept simple gestures like this. If he persists and she is not interested then simply tell him. People need to stop going to extremes for inconsequential things.

Well, I might consider a healthy dose of home protection at this point.

HOLD UP. Maybe the guy is really into you, OP, and asked your family what your favourite flowers were? And then didn't want to admit that he'd asked them so he just said that you'd mentioned it? Don't jump to conclusions! He might be really nice. :)

OP says she barely knows him. How could he: a) be "really into" some rando who doesn't even know him, b) find her family's contact details, and c) go to her family without being a total creep?

You've probably mentioned it to someone else awhile ago and he had over heard. It's not often someone will take to breaking in houses to put up hidden cameras or mics.

I seriously doubt that the only time you've ever mentioned that you like sunflowers was at home a few days ago. People mention things like their favorite flower all the time. Somebody tried to do something nice for you and you're being kind of a jerk about it. Just saying.
