To send flowers to a stranger?

[Pelicanpinkpants]

Ok, so not a stranger per se, but my neighbour whom I have never really spoken to apart from the odd greeting hello.

She is going through a very difficult time at the moment (we are fb friends), and ever since, she just looks awfully sad whenever I see her.

I want to send her flowers to 'brighten up her day' and a card to say if she ever needs anything, just ask.

Is this a weird thing to do? AIBU to do this?

@Pelicanpinkpants "She's not my next door neighbour, she lives a few doors down. She's the sort that adds anyone and everyone who glances in her direction to facebook, so I don't think it's that strange"

But you're obviously the sort who ACCEPTS friend requests from anyone and everyone who glances in your direction to facebook. Otherwise you would have just ignored the request.

Making out she is a tad odd and lives her life on social media, whilst you add strangers that can now see your entire profile is equally as needy and odd.
That's what people are saying. That it's nuts that people add strangers to Facebook who they've never had a conversation with in real life despite seeing each other all the time. Just speak in real life!

After your update I would say 'no' OP. She sounds attention seeking and needy.

**Sorry I mean I would say 'no' do not send flowers to someone who sounds attention seeking and needy.

I think it's lovely! Please do it! The world needs more people to step up when we are struggling!

When my dad died, I was 15 years old. I remember all the random people coming to the door with flowers and thinking, who even are you...

It's a lovely thought and I totally get the kindness behind it, but also, why should it take something awful/sad to happen for people to just talk.

Anyway, with regard to the actual situation, I'd drop them off on door step with note saying you didnt want to intrude but that you're always around for a chat.. that was you've left it up to her to decide whether she wants to open up. Xx

You could do an anonymous random act of kindness?
