This decorated car was parked outside our apartment block this morning. Every single post-it note contained a romantic message, just waiting for the lucky girl (or boy) to leave for work. But would you:
a) Think it was the most romantic gesture anyone had ever made and spend the entire day planning how to give your loved one a Valentine’s night to remember?
or
b) Just be annoyed at having to peel off all those bloody post-its before you could drive off??

Sadly, these days I’d be veering towards, ‘bloody hell, now I’m late for work,’ rather than, ‘ah, isn’t that sweet!’

Sadly, the first thing I thought was – ‘Just as well it’s not pouring with rain like it is here’!!

Yes, it wouldn’t be quite so romantic if they were sopping wet and the ink had all run!!

It’s the sort of romantic gesture that can only be carried out in the knowledge that the weather will defnitely stay dry. 🙂

This is so cute! I would never make it to work though, bc I would be reading and crying. I am a sentimental fool.

Ah, so sweet! I should have read what each note said – imagine if it was 100 post-its asking for a divorce…

“There’d better be some bloody chocs” is what I’d be thinking…

I guess a box of Quality Street stuck to your windscreen isn’t quite so romantic??

For that, I’d be anyone’s 😉

Or (c) peel off about 20 and drive away peering thru a circle of clear glass while showing the world that somebody loves you?

Ha ha! I really hope that’s what the owner of the car did, excellent idea!

I’d be furious and would start ripping off post-its in a swearing frenzy. I’d pretend that I’d liked it to his face though 😉 God knows what he’d come up with the following year…

Sounds like the start of a riddle – what does a romantic Latvian stick on a windscreen?? 😉

The corpse of his crazy ex-wife 😉

I am probably the less romantic being ever but this would be a major turn off for me:
1. Cant the guy just choose a private display of interest by sending flowers or a private note?
2. What is it wrong with him to let know the whole neighborhood of his lyrical love moments?
3. Why should I spend 10 minutes peeling this stuff off?
I would probably act annoyed and that is maybe I will never get such public show of affection. Mean me.

Oh, I hate gushy men. Although this is sweet, it would probably make me sick. The most romantic things my husband has done for me were…cleaning the snow off my car on a cold, snowy morning and taking the peas out of my soup because i hate peas 🙂

Ah, that’s so sweet, removing peas from soup is definitely love 🙂

So sweet…for someone else. For me, well not only do I have to remove all those post-it notes but I have to read them also? Sheesh. 🙂
I like a low-maintenance gift that doesn’t require me to do a lot of extra work.

Low-maintenance is definitely the way to go – if in doubt, you can’t go wrong with champagne, chocolates, flowers or diamonds…or all of those 😉
