Do you find it cringey, romantic, or show offy?
Personally, I'd be mortified. (If it's from a secret admirer, that's okay

Its right up there with a marriage proposal in front of 1000,s people.
in 4 years i never found anyone was displeased all were thrilled
and normally all the other women in the office/work were happy most were very jealous
so not cringey
My wife and I bought each other the same card

Back on topic, no I don't think it's tacky at all. I think it's a nice gesture and I'm sure there are some women who would still appreciate it...
I've often suspected that a lot of they guys who send a bouquet to the girl's workplace have received some heavy handed hints to do so. Then the girl looks all embarrassed and shocked and 'oh nooooooo. Oh Gawd, I can't belieeeeeve he did that'. Cringey.
Might as well wear a badge saying "I am stupid" or "I'm with stupid"!.....imo
Happy Valentines to my husband?
A girl I worked with years ago had flowers sent to her at work but had no clue who they were from. She came in the nexf day and told us she had been accosted by a fellow commuter who asked if shed liked the flowers. He'd followed her from the train in the morning to see where she worked. They were addressed to Clare with the hair because she hac very distinctive hair and he'd earwigged to get her name. Reception knew who he meant.
on the day everyone thought it was a lovely mystery....
Yes, like I said I used to be a florist and even I find the whole thing incredibly tacky and the fact many of them had sent the bloody things themselves just makes it worse.
I think it's quite sweet and she seems to love it, so I won't be stopping
Sender wouldn't be there to see anyway.
I think it's lovely - I know I got a huge thrill when it happened to me.
I actually hate flowers (but I'm not ungrateful to receive them). I'd much rather chocs or wine, I just don't do flowers at all.
Yes, and a Snickers bar counts as 'Chocolates'.
That's the thing which always strikes me tbh but then I use the tube in London. No way would flowers survive that! I think it's a pretty nice thing to happen otherwise. I have never seen anyone get them and be anything other than pleased and maybe a bit embarrassed (but in a nice way). Hopefully your partner would know if you were the kind of person who would be mortified and hate it.
It seems a bit curmudgeonly to regard it as showing off though.
Even if the girl has sent them to herself?
Plus even funnier, my a***hole boss and his wife both admired them, and the next day the boss gave me a receipt timed 11:47pm for fuel and garage-bought flowers! So a small revenge for making my life a misery that day was his wife was obviously was jealous
Could you not physically hand them to her? You know, in person? When you meet?
Let's compromise on 'weird showing off'
