You gotta hear this one...

My mom helps out at baptisms in our parish once in a while. So today she was there and there was going to be a wedding after the baptism so there were flowers on a few of the pews. After the baptism my mom and the other women helping out so people holding the flowers! they had taken them right off the pews and thought nothing of it! so my mom chased these people down and took the flowers back telling them these are for the wedding!! even when she told them , some people were just oh, ok here you go. not like, oh my gosh, im so sorry! i swear people will take anything that isn't nailed down! so there is some lucky bride out there who's flowers were saved thanks to my mom ! GO MOM

Wow, your mom was a hero for that bride! I can't believe the nerve of some people

The nerve of some people! I was told by the parish women who volunteer that it's customary to donate the flowers to the church, and to not take them! Good job Mom!

Good for your mom!!!

At my wedding, my DH's wonderful relatives started taking flowers from everyone else's table, including my grandmother's. I've never seen the claws come out of my mother so fast!

People can be so rude and inconsiderate....and to not even say sorry!!! Sheesh!!!
