Debbie Schlussel is an attorney so she knows a junk lawsuit when she sees one. Every one now knows Leroy Greer IS an an adulterer. Adultery is STILL illegal in America and you would think this dummkopf should know that courts don't want to reward an illegal act. Plus, most companies limit how much damages they'll pay in the fine print on their website's terms of disclosure. DUH

What a moron. Never put anything in writing. Never use a credit card. Don’t email them. Don’t use a cel phone. You will get caught EVERYTIME.
While there are obvious reasons not to cheat (I think we can all stipulate that) it is also too much of a pain in the rear end. I’ve watched too many “playa’s” get caught while working in an office of 200 women.
There is absolutely no upside to it. None. Zippo.

If you’re going to cheat, get a P.O. box. It’s also handy for running identity theft scams, receiving payments for your drug deals, and laundering donations to the Democrat party.

Breach of contract if true. (For argument’s sake of course)

"But when a man orders flowers sent to a woman who does not live at his home and asks that there be no record sent to his home or office, it's probably a likely suspicion that the woman is an extramarital paramour." Not at all. It could be a guy playing a practical joke on someone, a guy making his girlfriend think she has a secret admirer, or anything else you can dream up. Regardless, expecting this flower shop to "assume" anything isn't grounds for a lawsuit.
Besides, they never sent him a bill, they sent him advertising, and he didn't expressly tell them NOT to include him on any mailing list.
The guy deserved to be caught anyways, and by trying to sue, he just let everyone else know what a scumbag he is. I hope his boss is a woman who is divorced from a player as well.

Its not a breach of contract because an ILLEGAL contract is NOT enforceable in the courts. There certain things even a company can't perform, if the act in question is illegal.

They didn't send a record of it. They sent an advertisement in which it thanked him for his patronage. That isn't a receipt of any specific transaction. Had he sent his wife flowers once in a while, she'd of thought nothing of it.

Had he sent flowers to his wife once in a while, I can assure you he would not need to pick up someone else to get what he could have gotten for free.

Well if he asks the Supreme Court they will just create a new constitutional right to adultery.

And if it was legal, I doubt it would be worth a $1 million dollars. If anything, public knowledge of adultery should harm YOUR reputation. This is knowledge most people don't want any one to know about. Greer must be the kind of guy who was shamed only when he was caught by the wife having the affair.

They didn’t send a receipt, they sent a thank-you note.
Perhaps the slimeball should have been more specific.

Paul Manning: Do all married guys do it Ed? Ed Stander: No, maybe there comes a time in every marriage when a guy considers it but not all of them give in to it, only 43%. Which I think is about to go up to 44%.

BTW, my vote is for a defense verdict. What a maroon.

That's quite a leap, saying he wasn't getting any at home. Besides, the reverse of your argument is, Had he sent his wife some flowers once in a while, maybe he would have gotten some.
Blaming the wife for him HAVING to go have an affair is pretty lame. But, that's just part of the American mentality these days that sexual needs MUST be satisfied, and therefore grounds for immoral behavior, and all other sorts of sexual perversion.
To: Augustinian monk
I am sure that 1-800 Flowers uses an answering service to take orders. The question is, does the minimum-wage, phone-answerer who works for a completely different company have the authority to make a promise that binds 1-800 Flowers?
To: jim_trent
He asked them not to send a receipt or any record of it to his home or office, conditions to which he alleges the company agreed. I think it would be illegal for a company to knowingly withhold information about a spouse that the other spouse requests. It's as if both of them made the purchase of the flowers.
