Leroy Greer's 1-800-flowers.com Gift Goes Awry

Hot on the heels of Perfect 10's lawsuit against Microsoft, we bring you yet another tale of legal woe.

Leroy Greer, a luxury car sales manager from Missouri City, is a bit of a romantic. He ordered a dozen roses and a cuddly teddy bear for his girlfriend through 1-800-flowers.com. The included card read, "Just wanted to say I love you, and you mean the world to me! Leroy". Aw, isn't he sweet?

However, there was a slight complication. 1-800-flowers.com sent the receipt to Leroy Greer's house and, in addition to a girlfriend, good ol' Leroy has a wife.

Leroy's wife grew increasingly suspicious after she opened the receipt. Apparently, she hadn't gotten any flowers from her husband in a long time. She called up 1-800-flowers.com and asked them to fax her information about the purchase.

They sent her the fax, which included the damning card as well as the girlfriend's name and address. Leroy Greer's wife, in turn, faxed the receipt to her husband at work along with her own handwritten note across the bottom of the page: "Be a man! If you got caught red handed then don't still lie."

Whoops.

While the two had already been considering a divorce, this pretty much sealed the deal for poor Leroy.

Meanwhile, Leroy Greer has filed a $1,000,000 lawsuit against 1-800-flowers.com to pay for his "mental anguish" and the increased cost of his court fees.

1-800-flowers.com has said that they will not take responsibility for an individual's personal conduct ... or misconduct, as the case may be. But if not them, then who else could be to blame? Certainly not Leroy Greer. After all, he specifically requested that no receipt be mailed to his home or address, and he is too busy pointing the finger of blame at everyone but himself to be held accountable.
