Woman is delivered roses while in a meeting, then she finds out what her coworkers allegedly did to them: ‘Don’t worry, princess, we moved it for you’

Getting flowers delivered to work can be a sweet surprise, but one TikTok creator says her colleagues managed to turn the gesture into an uncomfortable workplace experience. The woman, who posts under the handle @agrittygirl, recalled receiving 60 roses from a man she was dating, only to find herself repeatedly interrupted during an important meeting.

The creator claimed in a video that she was attending a meeting when someone knocked on the door and quietly informed her that she had a delivery. She reportedly asked the woman to have someone else sign for it on her behalf, but the colleague insisted that “Well, it’s your delivery, so you have to sign for it.”

Eventually, she left the meeting to collect the package. She professed that “By the time I get there, it is on my desk. It is 60 roses.” She claimed that she works in an “open-plan office” so everyone there could see these roses.

The flowers apparently caused chaos

The creator immediately suspected they had come from one of “two men” she was dating at the time. She added that “So I go over to my desk, and I see there’s a note. The note is fully open at this point in time. There is no envelope on it.” The accompanying note also included the word “princess.”

After taking a moment to look at the surprise, she returned to her meeting downstairs. However, the interruptions did not end there. The woman said someone later barged into the boardroom to tell her that “his manager” wanted her to come and remove the flowers from her desk.

She questioned whether the manager knew she was in a meeting, but the man reportedly gave her a “nasty look” and said, “Yes, she is aware. That’s why she sent me here” to deliver the message. The creator recalled leaving the meeting once again to check on her flowers. This time, she purportedly found that someone had moved the flowers to the bottom of her desk. There was also another note waiting for her, which read, “Don’t worry, princess, we moved it for you.”

Workplace culture remains a concern for many employees in the United States, even as most report positive relationships with their colleagues. According to the American Psychological Association’s 2024 Work in America survey, 15% of U.S. workers described their workplace as somewhat or very toxic, with many reporting lower levels of psychological safety.

The survey also found that 92% of workers were satisfied with their relationships with coworkers. The findings highlight the contrast between generally positive workplace relationships and the negative experiences some employees continue to face.
