Today, it was my birthday. Nobody said anything, not even my Facebook friends, who probably got a notification about it. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My grandma posted about it on her Facebook wall, but people got confused and thought it was her birthday instead. She got twice as many birthday wishes as I did, and that's including the ones I got outside of Facebook. FML

Today, it was my birthday. None of my family members wished me a happy birthday and neither did the 1,000+ "friends" I have on Facebook either. FML

Today, it's my birthday. The only "happy birthday"s I got were from my mom, her Facebook account, and the Facebook account she made for her cat. FML

Today, my mom wished her best friend a Happy Birthday on Facebook. Her best friend died this year. Oh, did I mention that it’s also my birthday? FML

Today, I woke up and took my mom to work. It wasn't until after I got home, logged on Facebook and looked at the upcoming birthdays to see that it was her birthday today. No wonder she was silent the entire car ride and slammed the door on the way out. FML

Today, I checked my fake Facebook account for the first time in ages and realized that the fake me got more birthday greetings than the real me. FML

Today, it's my birthday. The only people who wished me a happy birthday were the ones who saw the "birthday boy" poster my sister plastered around school, which included a photo of me as a kid dressed up as a girl. FML

Why do people get upset when their attempts to fish for attention/compliments fail? Don't set yourself for disappointment if you can't handle it.

That's kind of a stupid idea seeing as that is supposed to be a reminder to people that forgot or don't know you well. I suppose now you can look forward to no birthday wishes on your real birthday though, as everyone thinks it's the date you listed

Yeah, if I had a kid that did that, I would absolutely say happy birthday as well. It wouldn't mean, "Oh, is it your birthday? I had totally forgotten when that was," it would mean, "Hey, dumbass, today's not your birthday, and you've been caught in your pointless ploy for attention. Happy un-birthday, by the way."
