Why is it that whenever someone is just downright outright rude to me I just turn into a blubbering mess and I don't stand my corner.

We went out last this morning having waited for the postman so it was late when we went out but whilst we out a company tried to deliver flowers. Apparently they tried twice sometime between 10.30 and 2.30 and the neighbour would not take them in.
So the company left a message on the answer phone for me to ring.
I've just rang and a very sharp lady answered the phone and more or less said it was my fault for not being in (although I obviosuly didnt know the flowers were coming) so I am not getting my flowers despite my not knowing they were coming. She now says her delivery driver does not work on Saturday afternoon so the flowers will not be delivered until Monday. She might try and deliver this evening but this will put her out as it will mean her going the wrong way home.
She knew the person who ordered them was abroad and I told her it was my son out in kabul. I don't think they made much of an impact on her.
She said she might deliver them tonight which I said would be nice as its my birthday on Sunday - made me feel like getting the delivery tonight I will be inconveniencing her.
just looked the company up and they are situated about 10 minutes from here and their website does say deliveries 7 days a week - I can't believe a flowers delivery company only does Saturday mornings when everyone is out all week.
not in the best place as it is. We try not to listen to the news if we can but sometimes it sneaks up on you and it was on the car radio. yesterday there was a big bombing to do with the forthcoming elections and several UN employees were killed - it brings you up sharp. I know son is safe or as safe as its possible to be in that hellhole but its still far too close for comfort.

It is hard when kids live abroad, never mind in Kabul. xxxx

I cannot believe your neighbour would not take them in for you... the big fat meanies ...egg their house!!

So I went and washed up, kitchens are good places for having a howl as you can blame the inhuman noses on 3 cats wanting their lunch. Then I told OH what had happened and he ring them back - far too polite. Then an hour later and a bang on the door and the flowers arrived :T
They are beautiful of course - not sure how she expected them to be in the same condition left in the shop until Monday I don't know.
On the card son had written
I'll be back soon
So now I am pieces again.

Aw mhoc ..so glad you got them in the end..I sort of know how you feel, my brother is in Afghanistan and I worry everyday with things I hear.thank god for viber and Skype cause it makes things a lot easier. My eldest baby is 15 and he will be joining army college next year and my 13 year old is also adamant that's what he wants to do and I know it's a little way of but it doesn't stop you worrying about them . Take care and enjoy your flowers x
