Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rule broken by Milan's boss is "Claim some sympathy," which suggests that when someone expresses sympathy, especially in the context of a loss, it is generally expected to accept or acknowledge this gesture to some extent. Refusing the flowers goes against the norm of claiming some level of sympathy in response to such gestures.
