Today's Tip For Adulterers: Don't Use 1-800-Flowers
A Texas man is suing 1-800-Flowers for $1 million after a thank you note from the web florist outed him as an adulterer. Leroy Greer specifically asked 1-800-Flowers not to send him a receipt for the cuddly stuffed animal and dozen long stemmed roses he ordered for his mistress. Despite his request, 1-800-Flowers sent a thank you note to his house several months later, prompting his wife to ask who the hell got flowers. She called 1-800-Flowers, which gladly faxed her a copy of Leroy's order form that included the following message meant for his mistress: "Just wanted to say I love you and you mean the world to me! -Leroy." Above The Law has the legalese:
"Breach of contract action in which the defendants agreed to keep the plaintiff's order of flowers for his girlfriend private, with no record of the transaction mailed to him at his home or office. Months later, the defendants sent a thank you card to the plaintiff's home, and his wife called the defendants for proof of the purchase. The defendants faxed the plaintiff's wife proof of his order of flowers for his girlfriend, which resulted in a divorce being filed."
Shucks, we thought giant internet florists could be entrusted with secrets. Maybe Leroy should have sent his mistress flowers from the local florist instead.
What an idiot.
Ooops
Note to self, always use cash when buying things for the mistress.
This guy does not stand a chance in hell of pulling this one off.
“prompting his wife to ask who the hell got flowers.”
I bet she got plenty after that, flowers and everything else.
In a related story, Greer is suing 1-800-Mattress for selling him a memory foam pad that told his wife about the times the mistress would come over for a visit...
This guy is a dumb as your brother.
He got what he deserved.
You shouldn’t be able to sue somebody else because you are a dumba$$.
If this guy gets one married woman on the jury, he’s toast.
It's called cheating on your spouse for a reason, it's not supposed to be open or PROVABLE. He might as well had his credit card record mailed to his wife's lawyer.
Since he loves the mistress so much, why does he care that divorce followed? Seems to me the florist did him a favor since his wife was obviously just baggage to him.
Well, it could just be... I’m just spitballin’ here, of course... but it could be... just possible... that he was lying to his mistress as well...
Still it does raise an interesting question regarding privacy...what if it had been law enforcement asking for a faxed receipt with-out supoena...?
The man might have a case, what with the problems of identity theft.
Still I don’t think he should get a million dollars!
I used ProFlowers (keyword: HANNITY) to send flowers to my sister in the hospital last week. You better bet your boots that I was calling out to My Favorite Liberal as I was placing the credit card order, so she would know exactly what I was up to.
One “I’m sending flowers to my sister”, in advance, is worth a thousand repetitions of “They were for my sister... Honest!”, later.
BUSTED!!!
His new place of residence.
Absolutely!
Remember Monica’s famous beret?
It was a gift for Hillary. Bill pinched it and gave it to his girlfriend.
This guy needs to play his wife a little harder. Be like Bill.
Should be interesting to see how “ a jury of his peers” is interpreted.
