To have cried (sort of) ....

[stevie69]

..... in the office? We had a team meeting this morning, at which I gave a presentation. Flowers were mentioned (something to do with a floral laptop cover) and I wistfully mentioned before my talk that I love flowers and nobody ever gets me any. Just a lighthearted start as I get nervous sometimes when speaking.

On the way back up, a young guy I work with casually asked what my favourites were and I said 'white roses': I'm SO Yorkshire When I got back from lunch there, on my desk, were some beautiful white roses. No note. No card.

There's absolutely nothing to this before anyone puts two and two together and makes 26 but don't you think that was an absolutely beautiful thing to do? It's made my day — I'm struggling slightly with the old menopause at the minute — and complete ruined my tough girl image

There is hope for humanity if you work with such a thoughtful person/people.

Awwwww this is so lovely! People can be really great, enjoy your white roses OP.

How bloody lovely! I'd have cried too (I am also perceived as hard as nails).

This is so wonderful, what a lovely thing to do! Enjoy your flowers, tough girls cry too

That is so thoughtful and lovely. What a lovely start to your weekend

It’s a nice gesture

I own a small business and one of the ladies I employ told me once that nobody had got her flowers since her dm died and I sent her flowers the next day. It I hope gave her a little bit of joy

What a sweet gesture.

Just to be nosey...was the young guy cute?? sorry to lower the tone

Just to be nosey...was the young guy cute?? grin sorry to lower the tone

Yes, he is. Very. And I am noted for my liking of younger men but it's SO not like that. He just saw that I was a little melancholy and did something completely lovely.

What a lovely gesture!

Lovely gesture.

Glad it made you smile op.

Great. I hope it's cheered you up.

Oh ffs! My eyes just listed over at this lovely story !

I'm clearly menopausal too

MISTED

How lovely. I worked for someone for many years, female, and every so often if one of us spotted some particularly nice flowers for sale we'd buy a bunch for the other. Not regularly or anything, so it was always a nice surprise.

What a beautiful gesture. What a nice man.

Lovely!

Can you send him this way, please?

I love buying flowers for people who aren't expecting them. It really cheers me up.

Having said that, somebody bought me some as (what they thought was) a nice gesture once and it did fuck all for me until I gave them to my daughter and made her week.

How lovely. What a thoughtful and sweet thing to do. Not surprised you sort of cried.

That was a lovely gesture OP.....

I am glad that it made your day and it's just made me smile too!

Lovely!

Awwwww

What a lovely lovely man! Things like this make me all warm and fuzzy.

He was obviously raised well 

Enjoy your flowers x

What a lovely thing for him to do - just spreads a little joy in the world.

Sooo lovely! Nice to know there are still good, kind people out there.

Awww, that's so lovely OP!! That made me smile
