Do I Have Some Screws Loose?  

Hi singlemommy,


Well to be honest, I think that was just light hearted fun and not to be taken so serious, I am married and if a man give me a rose I would love it and this firend yours is jusgt being sour grapes as you thought of it before she did. I wouldn't worry about it as she sound very jealous of you.

i don't think i'd do that. u may not be coming on to them but some of them would probably think u are.

Hey singlemommy! I think the idea is cute, but I don't think
that in some cases that it would go over too well. There are
alot of very jealous women in the world and they might take
it wrong if they happened to see the quote! It could stir
up alot of trouble and the men might have to try to explain
and things could really get out of hand! So I don't think
that you have screws loose, I just think that maybe you could
just buy a box of donuts for the office instead! It might
be a safer bet!

I think it is very cool that you did that....I love the idea and it shows what a neat person you are and I am sure the men got a kick out of it. I think if they had a jealous spouse or girlfriend they could remove the quote and give them the rose, and they had an understanding wife...they could tell her the story of what you did..I am a wife and if my husband came home with a rose with a quote and told me about it, I would think it was neat

It sounds like you have a fun work place! I don't think what you did was stupid. I think it showed what a creative fun loving person you are and quite frankly I think that your 'friend' is jealous that she has never had the idea or the courage to do something like that so she made herself feel better by making you regret your actions which I think are just light hearted fun.
The men can easily take the quote off and give the rose to their wife or girlfriend and I doubt any of the women will be jealous considering they all got one. In my view no harm done; did just a bit of fun!

I think your friend may be right in the sense that you just may send this men mixed signals.
Even though you are just doing it as a friend you don't know for sure how others will receive it.
I also believe if they are married or involved and the wife or girlfriend would find out where it came from it could cause trouble that could be avoided if you would judt forget about the idea and put your money away for a rainy day or a night out with your friends.

To me, this sounds just like lighthearted fun. Your friend is being very sour grapes about this for some reason.

What does it matter to her if you buy them a single rose and put their quote on it? I think they'd get a kick out of it to be honest. Sounds to me like your friend is being rather a stick in the mud about the whole thing.

Her comment to you was totally uncalled for, as you said. I'd try and brush it off and see if she makes any other remarks like that to you. As for buying those guys a single rose, go right ahead and do it! You don't need anyone's permission for that!

I think that person was mean,

they could easily tell the truth, a nice lady at work was giving everyone a rose who answered her question of the day she told us men we could bring the rose home for our wives.

I don't see anything wrong with that and most wives would think it was nice.

I can't see it being a problem.
Your workmates should know you well enough to know that it is just a bit of fun.
If they get in to trouble with their partners then that is their lookout. The only reason they would get the wrong idea if they are not honest with them.
I know that given the story, I may think you are a little crazy but I certainly wouldn't see it as a problem!

A rose does seem to have a romantic intent, why not give them another spring flower
like a tulip or something like that? As long as you include the quote I don't think there will be much problem, for the insecure wife the man can always say you know what this crazy woman at work did today, that should get him off the hook, don't you think?
