Please hear me out. Maybe it’s just me.
Myself, DP, and DD went to his Nan and Grandad’s for a lovely BBQ a few weekends ago.
The next day, to say thanks, I sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers to their house with a card. Me being me.
I ordered from a local flourist, small company who have been amazing in the past.
They delivered the flowers on the date and time they said they would. were left on the doorstep as DP’s grandparents were out for most of the day (little did I know as I wanted the flowers to be a surprise for them).
I received a message from DP’s grandma a few days later (as hadn’t heard on the delivery day) to say thanks but 2 of the heads were drooping/ had died as they were out for the day etc. she had rang the company at 6pm, the same day they were delivered but no answer. So she then proceeded to send me another message the day after that to say she had got hold of the company and got them to send another replacement.
So really she has £60 worth of free flowers? She has binned the supposedly “dead ones” and kept the other 80% “alive” ones and gained even more!
I don’t know why it’s really bothering me. I thought it’s at least the thought that counts? Like it wasn’t good enough. Maybe it’s me !!??
I think it’s bothered me a bit also as I held a bbq a couple of months ago and grandma didn’t bring so much as a bottle of wine. I just feel it’s a bit ungrateful? To request for a small company to send another bunch free of charge but it’s your fault as you were out all day?
