Everyone forgot my birthday

68 replies

HCantThinkOfAUsername · 09/01/2018 20:17

My whole family, my best friends, and most of my work colleagues.
I know it's just a birthday. I make such a fuss on everyone when it's their birthday. All I wanted was a card/text/Facebook message.

Meh.
I'm extra grumpy because I've spent all day in bed unwell so been constantly checking my phone which hasn't helped.

Happy birthday!

People at work are never going to remember - we take in cake when it’s your birthday so you only have to remember your own and then everyone comes to your desk to say happy birthday and get cake :-)

Happy Birthday! 🎉🎈🎁

Knittedfairies · 09/01/2018 20:31

My sympathies; it happened to me a few years ago. Not a word from my husband, mum and dad, siblings, grown-up children or friends. It was weird; I spent the day thinking something exciting was going to happen - a surprise - but it didn’t. Every knock on the door or phone call.. you can imagine. I got cards the next day, held up in the post I suppose, but my husband had no excuse - I milked that for years!

Happy birthday OP; hope you feel better soon.

LineysRunt · 09/01/2018 20:32

I am sending you a virtual Chocolate Orange and you have to dip the segments in hot coffee Flowers

Happy Birthday CakeWineFlowers
I do think you have to arrange things a bit with colleagues and not so close friends if you want to celebrate. However it's bad your close friends and family didn't remember.

Eliza9917 · 09/01/2018 20:36

Happy birthday, have a spa day from me Grin

RayM · 09/01/2018 20:37

Happy Birthday 🍰 🎈

DerelictWreck · 09/01/2018 20:37

Happy Birthday OP!

That is really shit - I hope you spent the day planning dramatic skits that will unfold to make them feel terrible!

PolarBearGoingSomewhere · 09/01/2018 20:37

That's really shit OP. It's probably nothing personal and it's probably all gotten lost in the hubbub of Christmas and return to normality etc but... it's really shit.

A hearty and rousing HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU Cake

Send a mass email saying 'just sending this text to all my friends and family to say thank you for all your lovely birthday wishes.' ;-) They'll think'oh shit' and start panicking.

Have a self stirring mug from me !!!
