An online florist is facing a million-dollar legal case after it revealed one of its customers was sending flowers to his girlfriend.
Leroy Greer is suing 1-800-Flowers after it sent a thank you card for using its service to the man's home address. His wife opened the card and queried the order, which was then faxed through to her.
The fax contained details of the order and the message "Just wanted to say I love you and you mean the world to me! Leroy". The order also included a stuffed animal.
Greer's wife amended the fax, sent it to her husband and has sued for divorce. He is now suing the florist for a million dollars in the Texas Southern District Court.

The wife illegally opened his post,
The florist broke data protection laws...
Sounds like they are all in trouble :p
I think he will lose his case based on that and basically he got owned.
actually he got owned for cheating and too stupid to realize he left a paper trail....and will get owned again in Divorce Court.
Exactly.
I think if he wanted to play around then he should have terminated his marriage first. I have no sympathy for people that cheat in relationships. He deserves everything he gets.

That's what I thought, is Neowin really that sort of IT stories?
May be the fax contain a custom linux OS, and linux is a enemy of Windows... and Windows is mentioned in neowin, so this news is 3 step ahead of neowin.
most women will cheat given the right oppertunity and motivation

Of course, if he does.. half goes to his wife... :p
Oh, and what a jerk!

I have to agree with you. My mother can't even get details on her phone account unless my father gives the person on the phone the "ok" since it's in his name. It's because of jerks like this that things are complicated in the business world. He is part of the reason why the world sucks. Keep your penis to your wife!
Hope it was worth it.
Is it so wrong to want to order something without the company thinking that it's a license to flood your mailbox/inbox with BS?
It was unsolicited mail and therefore spam/junk.
I don't care if it's a box of yummy cookies from the flower shop manager's mother...if it's using personal information to send people unsolicited BS then it's spam.
Had to dig through to the real article hosted on another site, http://www.abovethelaw.com/2007/08/greer_v...s_an_update.php . This suggests the marriage was already over, and the wife used this escapade to seek an imbalance of marital wealth in the settlement. So theyre already getting divorced? Was it his fault, her fault? Did he cheat because she did? Did they proceed to divorce because he has a history of this crap?
This guy is just a loser and should have waited until their divorce was final, or legal separation was in place.
My contact lenses are paid by direct debit by someone else, and yet... they can't ring up and talk about my order to the company, even if they wish to talk about the payment of them. I have to give permission to the company that the direct debit payee can talk about the direct debit payment!?!?!
His fault for not covering his tracks. Hope his wife takes him to the cleaners in divorce court.
