what annoys me

Writers are by nature anthropologists. We study human behavior in certain places and times.

Today a strange phone number called. I didn't answer. The second time he left a message. I listened. Gathered it was a flower delivery person. Called back immediately -- and the guy was already on the freeway! Wouldn't come back.

Don't send someone flowers on their birthday. Flower delivery is crap. Especially in big cities with apartments. No one ever gets their flowers. And I work, so I don't know when they'll be able to deliver them. A present shouldn't be stressful for the recipient.

In summing up, I wish I had some kind of affirmative message to leave you with. I don't. Would you take two negative messages?
