I resent that comment, I like... nope don't like either of those things.
Especially flowers, they don't like being unceremoniously dumped in a vase without any primping, they start dying the moment they arrive and a few days later when you try to chuck them away the petals fly off all over the shop, then in one last flick of the V's they leave behind a carafe of stinking bilge water for you to deal with.
They also often come with the whiff of forecourt petrol and some terrible story about how the awful thing that just happened wasn't their fault
