read the OP out to husband tonight and the first thing he said (obviously being a bloke lol) nobody has actually suggested yet....i bet the SO forgot it was Valentines' Day and when she rang him up to complain he pretended he'd ordered her some flowers ...that's why the company didn't know what she was talking about !!! LOL !!! feel i should add some sort of disclaimer now... :D That was my very first thought when I read it last night. I am awful...:(

I hate to ask a silly question, but what does SO mean? That's a new one on me. PS - talk about an overreaction, I dread to think how OP copes if anything seriously went wrong. significant other You haven't quoted properly and I thought you were answering your own question!! Lol

How sad to automatically expect to get flowers on Valentine's Day rather than being surprised, Appreciate what you have OP and really flowers and a teddy are not worth a tantrum. I do hope you calmed down and enjoyed your evening. I'm with you on that. It's lovely to get flowers for no reason, just as a nice surprise to say 'I love you'. I'd never want to know I was getting flowers just because the calendar said Feb 14, it's our anniversary, my birthday etc.

lol @ horrid.. OP's foot stamping nearly knocked my pictures off the wall !!! lol I've never shouted at anybody here and I do leave the house and I'm not an angel. I get frustrated the same as everybody else but shouting at somebody who probably has little or no control over what is annoying me will only make me feel worse, not better.

We ban Vday in our home I made it clear on day one if he can’t bother to get a few lousy flowers and whatever throughout out the year for sure I don’t want any on Vday.... I don’t get the significance of Vday, after reading the OP thread well what can I say

My darling hubby is not even here... am all alone!!!! Mine too. He left a card and a giftbag in my clothing drawer though. Was a nice surprise considering what a terrible day I had yesterday (had a car accident).

so how is this poster any different from the other threads we get on here ranting about restaurants, schools, shops etc for bad service? Where are the usual " name and shame" brigade? If any of you have never shouted at anyone here then you must be an angel or you never leave your house! I most certainly have. Hope you are not getting all grumpy because you didn't get anything for Valentine's Day - oops, forgot, you and your partner are SO SUPERIOR to all of those people who need a piece of card to feel good about themself ! :-P Well said SP

True but what was funny is that she kept saying horrid, horrid horrid! I didn't expect anything as my husband is abroad but the gifts (flowers) didn't seem to end yesterday. Chin up OP, your SO loves you. Get your money back and donate it to charity. PS I've never shouted at anyone here! <em>edited by dogcatcher on 15/02/2012</em>

You can't be serious! Please grow up, you sound like a spoilt child. I can't believe a grown woman actually wrote that. My thoughts exactly!

Bullies are everywhere today! Lol! I think the OP is more upset that she ruined her day thinking her SO forgot about today? And hence she is frustrated on the company? Has happened with me at times .... Don't we all have these moments? Come on! yes we may feel disappointed but i don't think we all react this badly...to scream at people in business, especially if they're having trouble understanding you is just inexcusable - sorry. neither my husband nor myself could be ***** buying cards or gifts this year - no big deal, we still had a nice meal together and watch tellyfor the evening the same as we always do :) edited to say omg they blanked out @rsed LOL !! <em>edited by Sue62 on 14/02/2012</em>

Oh dear god- OP please reread your post and recognize you sound like a completely spolit brat. I can't believe that you could possibly be that shallow that not receiving your flowers and teddy has spoilt your entire day, why not just throw your toys out the pram and shout at some poor guy in a florist who probably isn't responsible for this balls up - oh no you have done that already. I'm sure your SO is delighted to have such a delightful partner. Reality check my dear Phew! Thank god you said it and not me.
