The life of a politician who has world domination on his mind is not easy. I frequently have to fly from one country to another to attend meetings, charity events and ceremonies. I often neglect my fiance but I always try to send her a quick email whenever I get a chance.

Stupid holiday's such as Valentine's Day aggravate matters, especially when the ball and chain is already upset because I will be away during this "holiday". This time around I thought I would surprise her with a nice Valentine gift basket so I decided to order one from 1800Flowers.com after browsing their Website.

I decided to send my loved one the Tower of Sweet Surprises ($43.99...what a ripoff) which featured a love letter-shaped box of assorted Harry London® chocolate truffles, among other goodies. I called this company and some chick named Roberta answered.

I immediately let her know that I wanted to order this particular Valentine gift basket and before the deal was sealed, she tells me that it doesn't include the chocolates. The chocolates would cost $30 extra. This was unacceptable and downright outrageous so I attempted to interrogate her since the Website clearly states that the chocolates were included.

She responded by repeating that there would be an additional $30 charge, so I told her that I'd buy them elsewhere. She then proceeded to insult me by calling me a little girl because I backed out of the deal just because the gift basket didn't include the chocolates.

This experience was almost as bad as the one my assistant Jerry had when he tried to buy a computer from Dell.
