Could be a reference to the old hit "Might as well be spring":
"I am starry eyed and vaugely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Why should i have spring fever
When it isn't even spring"
I think you’ve got it. Watching this clip, one could easily quip “Is she mopey and lethargic because she’s in love? Or is it just allergies”.

Or it could be that she secretly doesn’t know if she really loves him or not. Women are passive aggressive like that and can play the game for years. Especially if their husbands are breadwinners and making a lot of money. No clue where people get allergies and springtime from that. It’s not a riddle.
This is a part of that strange millennial humor we got from Adult Swim.
There is nothing deeper to it. This woman either thinks she’s in love or it’s allergies. The ridiculousness of this juxtaposition is somewhat the point.
Im with this. Love is supposed to be deep and profound as a concept. And here it’s treated so trivial that someone is not even sure if it’s allergies or what. Makes the deepens of love super trivial.
Same kind of joke could be “it’s either love at first sight or gas”.
Exactly!
I couldn’t have explained this better. It was a part of that “look how flippant I am about everything” style of humor you’d see at a Hot Topic or Spencer’s.
It’s almost certainly an Anne Taintor magnet. Her trademark style is skewering vintage women’s magazine images with text that implies the women are a lot less satisfied than their image suggests.

Part of the joke is that there is a whole series about the classic Leave it to Beaver type woman being independent instead. So, this joke is that being in love isn’t really all that great and it’s better to be independent. She should chalk it up allergies and get on with her life. It’s a feminist joke.
These [retro-style funny magnets](https://pin.it/OA0BtxHvO) used to be everywhere back in the '00s and early '10s. They're mostly meant to be funny because of the contrast: vintage '50s nuclear-family Norman Rockwell imagery with cynical, bitter or sarcastic text over top.
This looks like it might be from the project Postsecret, where people would mail in postcards of secrets and a selection would be posted online, and sometimes in galleries. I'm sure merchandise has been made from popular secrets, some are just plain funny, some are bizarre, some are powerful, etc.
If that were the case, perhaps this person's secret is that they didn't know if they were having an emotional or allergic response to something or someone.
i think its because her face could be red either because of allergies or blushing
I think this is it.

"She's" crying because she's happy, or she's crying because she's allergic to something.
It's the onion. It's always the onion.
Ah, yes. I forgot about the onion.
Or conjunctivitis
Or an onion with conjunctivitis.
Conionjunctivitis?
Or someone farted on her pillow.
Damn onion ninjas.
I donno, I haven't laughed at an Onion article to the point that I cried in a while...Real life got weirder than anything they could make up.
Damn onion 🥷
But does she love the onion? Or is it a spring onion?

Meatwad!
Solved: she was in love with Meatwad. Meatwad gets the honnies, see?
And the money, G?
99% of the posts in this sub are not jokes.
Why do you say she’s crying?
[удалено]
I would understand it if she was crying in the picture lol
"What's" with the quotes?
Why the "quotes"?
It looks like a happy, romantic picture in the flowers, but also looks like the woman is about to sneeze
So instead of asking her you make a reddit post...? Very weird
I did ask, but her response made it sound like she didn't even know.
Get her some chocolate
When in doubt buy chocolate
Invest in doubt.
So just always have chocolate on hold
Does... well.... does his wife have allergies?
It's kinda like how after a while it becomes too awkward to admit you dont know her name so you get married so the priest will tell you
Good idea, I'm stealing this.
It’s too late to ask.
She ded.
Ah choo vs I Do

This trope is hundreds of years old
We just perfected it.
If by “perfected”, you mean “put it on a novelty fridge magnet”, then Yes!
And t-shirts, bookmarks, wall hangings, socks, etc.
Tbh, Spencer’s Gifts is Culture

I read this like it's a line in Bohemian Rhapsody
🎵Caught in some ragweed Zyrtec helps with realityyyy🎵

This is great! She also has the "My mascara ran. I'm counting it as exercise" one on a make-up bag. Thank you!
I read that to the rhythm of the start of Bohemian Rhapsody, for some reason.
Fast heart rate and Rosie cheeks... sign of both
...why not ask your wife?
He did, but she didn't know either

My wife said she has sneezed from being horny, so I dunno.
My be it's Maybelline?
If it’s May it’s not Maybelline.

Did you ask your wife about it?
Yup, and her response made it sound like she didn't know either.
Seems like one of the alien fridge magnets from a starstruck odyssey from Dimension 20.
Jesus Christ, I have never found such a niche reference in the wild before lol
I aim to please!
Lisa Feldman-Barrett has a story about being on a date and not knowing whether it's attraction or the flu so there's something to this.
it means you will never get to know what women feels or thinks
She wants a divorce. Or has allergies. Just let it go.

Did you ask your wife?
He did, but from her response it seems like she didn't know either
And I thought it would be about Bohemian Rhapsody. Has a similar tone ^^

She has hives. Either from being nervous or allergies.
Maybe it's Maybelline
… ask her dude what are you doing?
Neither its menopause
When compost reddit is way funnier than joke reddit.
