officially. valentine's day is lame. not because of all the cheesy hearts and flowers and cupids and love, but because it seems to have inbred our culture with an attitude of ungratefulness. i worked at the Flower Hut the past 2 days and was talking to the driver about delivering flowers and the best part of the flower business being the looks on the faces of a person as you deliver the flowers. that is, except on valentine's day. on valentine's day, out of all the orders we filled and sent out, only one person apparently was genuinely thankful. in fact, she was speechless. everyone else gave the flowers and delivery person the "oh, finally flowers arrived for me. it's about time. this is all? nothing better?" look.
people expect gifts and presents on valentine's day. if they don't have an "insignificant other" apparently that's a very valid and legit excuse to be a jerk on valentine's day.
there is very little thanks on valentine's day. just expectations.
what have we come to?
