A BUNCH of roses, a box of chocolates and maybe even a cuddly toy of two – these are just a few of the types of present us girls would love to be showered with on Valentine’s Day.
That said, we can all agree that the least romantic gift you could possibly receive on Valentine’s Day is a set of brand new bathroom scales – especially when you might have secretly been hoping for a diamond engagement ring.
Unfortunately for one woman, this is the exact scenario she was faced with when she came round to opening her boyfriend’s gift yesterday.
Posting a picture of her – shall we say, “unconventional” – present on Instagram, the furious woman raged: “THIS IS NOT an appropriate Valentine’s Day Gift. You may actually end up in hospital.”
But she wasn’t the only one having a shocker of a Valentine’s.
Using the hashtag #valentinesdayfail, couples have been detailing how their days didn’t quite go to plan – from lacklustre flowers, burnt sweet treats and missing cards.
Personalised card shop Moonpig was accused of “ruining Valentine’s Day” by furious shoppers after lovebirds were sent cards addressed to other people.
Seeing the funny side of things, one shopper posted a photo of their card with the caption: “I’d like to publicly thank Moonpig for sending my boyfriend somebody else’s Valentine’s Day card…
“I’d also like to apologise to the poor lass out there who has received a 29cm x 41cm picture of my face looking like a thumb… #sorryApril.”
Nothing says Valentine’s Day quite like a bunch of roses – but unfortunately for one Twitter user, the bouquet she ordered online arrived with two had been chopped off.
Unsure whether to laugh or cry, the woman tweeted: “Guess someone at Moonpig was having a bad day.”
What’s more, other couples have hit out at supermarkets after the flowers they ordered online arrived looking like they’d never seen the light of day.
Tweeting a photo of her sad-looking daffodils, one angry shopper wrote: “Tesco I don’t like roses but love daffs. My husband bought these for me for Valentine’s. Why are you selling dead flowers?”
Posting a picture of her depressing Moonpig bouquet, another added: “The quality of the £28 flowers I paid to be sent to my mum.
“Not only were they a day late but they turned up dead and crumpled. Definitely not worth the money!!”
A spokesperson from Moonpig told The Sun: “A handful of customers have contacted us today to say there has been an issue with their order and we’re extremely sorry to have disappointed them on this important day.
“We know that these orders and the loved ones they are destined for are extremely special so we are engaging directly with these customers to put things right.”
For more dating horror stories, this woman was urged to leave her “cheating” husband after she posted a snap of his Valentine’s gift – but others say she’s “petty”.
And this dad sparked debate after telling women their partners will cheat if they don’t let them play video games.
Plus this wedding party was slammed for pretending to perform a lewd sex act in a “trashy” photo.
