Geek: Today, it's my birthday. My grandma posted about it on her Facebook...

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

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

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

Friends and family

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 was my birthday. My grandma gave me a hug and a check after wishing me a happy birthday and walked away giggling. I was excited because it was the only gift I had gotten all day. Ten minutes later, I realized that it was actually just my tax refund. FML

Party hard!

By _Emilyy - 12/07/2011 04:40 - United States

Today, I updated my Facebook status to, "Party at my house this Friday. Like my status if you want to come." After about 3 hours I checked back to discover that the only person who'd liked my status was my grandma. FML

Today, my mother-in-law texted to wish me a happy birthday. She spelled my name wrong and it's not my birthday. FML

Today, it was my birthday. Two of my best friends forgot it, and so did my grandparents. All of my friends were busy, so I spent it alone in my car. FML

Sorry OP but I feel like you're one of those people that are gravely concerned about how much likes you get on Facebook and all that nonsense. It really doesn't matter

Well since OP's grandma is older, there's a chance that she'll know a lot more people than OP himself

Aw, that sucks. Happy (late) birthday! I just can't figure out how people got confused by her Facebook post? But the fact that she got more wishes means nothing. People put 'happy birthday' on any Facebook wall even if they don't know the person well. Keep you head up, OP!

You're right about that. People that hardly talk to me at all will post 'Happy Birthday' on my wall when it comes around. All though I am thankful for the sentiment at the same time it's like why the hell are you posting on my wall?
