Today, I changed the date of my birthday to today on Facebook to see how many people actually know my birthday. My mom wished me a happy birthday. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, it was my birthday. Nobody said anything, not even my Facebook friends, who probably got a notification about it. FML
Today, I found out why my parents forgot my birthday. Facebook didn't remind them. 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, it's my birthday. My parents wished me a happy one via text message. We live in the same house. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

it wasn't about attention dumbass. OP said it was to see how many people knew their real birthday and mom didnt know it. get your head out of your ass and smell the shit

no no no, it was for attention. the same reason people do other things to fish for attention. "are you going tomorrow?" "no..." "why not??" "no just kidding I am". I hate when people say stupid shit like that for attention, they want to know that you will beg them to come and do whatever it is, just be a person and communicate! just like facebook updates like this "oh my god I can't friggin believe it"... so someone, anyone will comment "oh no, what happened!?????". "oh... I burnt my toast this morning..."

Hey, shitstick, I'm only saying something because you're an IDIOT! But if OP DIDN'T want attention, they wouldn't have gone onto a social networking site to change their birthday TO SEE IF ANYONE NOTICED.

I feel like doing that and then just keep changing it to later dates during the year to see if anyone notices that something is up, thanks for the inspiration OP :p

Your so shallow you took the time to see how many Facebook "Happy Birthdays" you got? Your probably one of those people who collects friends too.

I don't know why your complaining, on my real birthday, no one said happy birthday to me, and I put the actual date on my Facebook.
