Cupid, I think you missed one
Flower man: "Do you know [girl] in #4?"
Me: "Yeah. I mean, sort of. She's my neighbor."
Flower man: "Do you think you could sign for her flowers and keep them in your apartment until she comes home?"
Me: "Oh, um, sure."
Me (signing clipboard and joking): "Wow, there's nothing as depressing as signing for another woman's flowers."
Flower man (handing over flowers and being serious): "Try being the deliverer of other people's love."
Did he just--? Snarky flower man!

That's awesome. Thank you so, so much for sharing that.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of a story: A flower delivery man has this sort of conversation, and then falls in love with the girl who has to sign for the flowers. To nervous to tell the girl how much he likes her, he starts making false deliveries for her to sign for, saying they are for the girl in the bottom apartment, but no such girl lives there, and soon the girl is getting new flowers every week from the guy, and starts suspecting something, and then, since this is the era of ironic tragedy, she would probably fail to tell him that she was deathly allergic to patunias, or something, and when he brought those she'd just keel over and die in his arms.
It sounded better in my head.
Ha ha! Too bad he had a Jesus beard and wasn't cute or else that would have been magical.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I love your blog. I just needed to tell you.
