I explained the situation.
Florist: I have the PERFECT arrangement.
He made a bouquet of:
- Dead roses
- Wilted lilies
- A single cactus
- Card that said: "Hope your new relationship goes as well as these flowers"
Me: This is beautiful.
Florist: I've been WAITING for a customer like you.
Week later: He texted me.
Florist: "Did she get them?"
Me: "Yes. She's furious."
Florist: "Excellent. Tell your friends."
Month 2: I recommended him to a coworker going through a breakup.
Coworker: He made me a bouquet of ONIONS.
Me: Why onions?
Coworker: "To make your ex cry as much as they made you cry."
Coworker: It was GENIUS.

My ex sent me a message last week: "I can't believe you started this."
Me: I didn't start it. I just ordered flowers.
Her: You've created a MONSTER.

Revenge is a dish best served with wilted roses apparently.
