Oh my god...this is SO pathetic and sad!
Edited on Sat Jan-13-07 03:06 AM by Sannum
This is quite possibly the saddest (and pathetically desperate) thing I have seen in a long time....

I get a call at about 7:30 friday night...It is my doorman saying that someone sent me flowers. My first thought was who was it and who they were from. He then says that there are actually 5 dozen roses! That is very shocking. I ask what is on the card and it was "I can't stop thinking about you" and his phone number. Woah. I know I am not getting laid, and that is just creepy. I do a trace on the phone number. Originally, they were addressed to another apartment, but to my name. The woman in the other apartment to which they were addressed (we share the same first name and live on the same floor) said they were not hers...Anyway, I do a little detective work and do a little interview of the guy as "Susan, the apartment manager" asking what she looked like so we could get them to her. He says that he knows that it is the right apartment number because he was there the other night :P He does not, however know her last name. He says he randomly chose a last name because the florist would not deliver without one. That name happened to be mine. Oy. I say I will work on it and let him know. I go down to the doorman, who is very cute, and tell him this. I have a name of their mutual friend as well. I go ask the doorman questions, and we do some more detective work with the florist. It turns out that the gal had a one night stand and did not want her boyfriend to find out, so she said she did not know who they were from. So the thing is, I still had a dilemma. They were addressed to my name, so by the building policy, and the fact that the girl said they were not for her, they were mine whether he actually meant to send them to me or not! I could not help but feel horrible for the guy. He bought $400.00 worth of roses and sent them to the wrong person! So, I am in possession of 5 dozen roses which are going to a nearby nursing home and hospital in the morning, because I certainly don't need them. They are not mine anyway. So...do I call him and let him know, or do I just leave it. He probably assumes that his one night stand has the flowers and his number. He is probably waiting by the phone! What if he sends more!? I would be mortified to tell him, but do I have to!? If I were in that position I would die of embarrassment.

So please, let this be a lesson. When you send your one-night-stand flowers...make sure that you get the last name of the person before you send them. Or just save the money and leave your cell phone number on the nightstand!:crazy:

It must have been amazing sex!:wow:

1. Bless your heart.
I think you have done enough, really. I'm not sure having further contact with this guy would be a good idea. I worked in a flower shop once and it was never dull. I'll never forget having a man ask me to fill out a card for him and after 'Dear xxx' what he asked me to write was "I'm sorry I hit you." I had to do it, because I realized he was illiterate.

Hope it clears up without you being in the midst of it.

:hug;

2. I am not contacting him again....
I blocked my number and he doesn't know who I am anyway. The last name was a coincidence because the fuckbuddies' mutual friend had my last name which he used for the order. From what i hear, of the girl who shares my last name, she gets around.

The thing is now, since I was giggling about this in the lobby with several friends, everyone knows that so and so cheated on her boyfriend. :o oops.

Who says that people in high-rises in major cities don't know their neighbors:D
:blush:

3. The guy probably got some "special treats".......
which he would like to continue getting. That or he just doesn't get laid often/at all.

Men are victims in the battle of the sexes. Many days it's like being a diabetic locked in a candy store. You can look but touching is slightly fatal.

5. Any man can get some special treats...
If they go to Dairy Queen... :rofl:

And I think you're right about men being the victims. As Peggy Bundy once said, women are sexual kryptonite! :evilgrin:

6. Do you know the other woman?
I doubt the guy would drop $400 on roses just for sex. Us poor men tend to fall in love quite easily and it sounds like this guy has a serious crush.

If you know the other lady could you approach her and tell her you know they were meant for her and at least give her the card with the lovestruck puppy's number?

If he can't stop thinking about her he will not stop with trying to contact her. If she had his number the ball is in her court, up to her to ignore his advances, call him and ask him to desist or call him and take things further. Ya never know when the right one will come along.

7. well, it could be worse
unlike somebody I know quite well, this guy
a) did actually have sex, and
b) has $400 he can blow on flowers

so don't put him in the Guiness book for pathetic and sad just yet.

9. Good point
:rofl:

Somehow, though, I still feel sorry for him. But, it would probably be better to let nature take its course...and let the victim learn the way so many have to...through the painful rejection process of never being contacted again.

10. It would be better for him if he knew why he was not getting called back
And then too, if this woman breaks up with her current boyfriend, or vice versa, she may wish she had that number.

11. Wayyyyyyyy back had a 1 night stand. He stole my camera.
That was my lesson that you should always learn their last name before having sex.
