I knew someone who received a Valentine's Day gift that was clearly a last - minute, thoughtless purchase. It was a box of chocolates that were half - melted and a card with someone else's name crossed out and hers written in. It was so disrespectful and made her feel really unimportant.
One of the worst stories I heard was when a guy completely forgot it was Valentine's Day. His girlfriend had been dropping hints for weeks. She made a special dinner reservation, got all dressed up, and when he came home from work, he just asked what was for dinner like any other day. She was heartbroken.
There are several awful Valentine's Day stories. For instance, a man ordered a beautiful bouquet of roses for his wife weeks in advance. However, on Valentine's Day, the florist delivered them to the wrong address. His wife was left feeling disappointed. Another story involves a couple who had a huge fight on Valentine's Day because one of them had made plans without consulting the other. It ended up ruining the whole day. Then there was the case where a woman thought her partner would propose on Valentine's Day as they had been dating for years. But instead, he gave her a friendship bracelet. She was heartbroken and felt like all the signs she had thought were there for a proposal were just in her head.
A lot of people have stories about being stood up on Valentine's Day. For example, a girl might get all dressed up, wait at a fancy restaurant for hours, but her date never shows up. It's not only embarrassing but also makes her feel really sad and disappointed. She might have been looking forward to that day for a long time, and all her hopes are dashed in an instant. It can also make her feel self - conscious as other people in the restaurant might be looking at her, wondering what happened.
One worst Valentine's Day gift story is when a guy gave his girlfriend a blender. It was like he was thinking more about making smoothies than romance. It made her feel like he didn't understand the sentiment of the day at all.
Sure. A friend of mine had her boyfriend break up with her on Valentine's Day. He took her to a restaurant, and just as they were about to order, he said he couldn't do this anymore and left her there alone, crying in the middle of a crowded place full of happy couples. It was so cruel.
My worst Valentine's Day was when I had to work a double shift at a very busy restaurant. Everyone around me was celebrating with their loved ones, and I was running around serving people. I didn't even have time to take a break or eat. And to top it off, I got yelled at by a customer for no good reason. It was a truly miserable day.
Sure. One person had their Valentine's Day dinner ruined by a food - poisoning incident at the restaurant. Another got into a car accident on the way to meet their date. And someone else had their Valentine's Day gift for their partner stolen right before they could give it.
Sure. One person got a pair of socks from their significant other on Valentine's Day. It was just so ordinary and not at all in the spirit of the romantic day. It felt like they didn't put any thought into it.
A rather odd Valentine's Day incident involved a man who ordered a huge teddy bear for his girlfriend. But when it was delivered, it was the wrong color and had a strange smell. To make matters worse, it was so big that it didn't fit through the door of her apartment. So they had to leave it outside on the porch, and it looked really out of place. It was a Valentine's Day that didn't go as planned at all.
I heard about a girl who had a long - time crush on a neighbor. On Valentine's Day, she baked him a heart - shaped cake and took it to his house. He was so surprised and touched that they started dating soon after.
I heard of someone who on their first day was given the wrong uniform size. It was way too small and they looked really uncomfortable all day. Plus, they had to meet important clients that day, and they were self - conscious the whole time.
