Today, it was my 18th birthday. I got one thing: a fancy electric toothbrush from my little sister. I would say I'm happy to have something rather than nothing, except, for as long as the toothbrush works, there will be a Hannah Montana concert going on in my mouth. FML

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

You forgetting something?
Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML

Today, I turned eighteen. Thinking I was going to get a big present from my parents on this special day, I eagerly unwrapped my present. They got me a bag of M and M's. Last year I got flannel bed sheets. FML

Today, it's my 22nd birthday. The only person who remembered was the dentist who sent me a postcard in the mail. I stopped going to him four years ago. FML

Today, it was my birthday. The only person who remembered was my dad who got me a phone charger for my car, which I didn't even need because he got me the same exact thing last year. FML

I remember Gillette sent my older brother two on his birthday because our last name was (incorrectly) spelled two different ways. So I was excited when my 18th birthday rolled around, because I wanted my free razor. It never came :(

And Im sure you never said anything to any of your friends to mention your impending birthday. I hate when people do that. Hell, my mom CALLS people so they can tell her Happy Birthday, lol. It sounds like you were being all self-pitying and created a nice little self-fulfilling prophecy by "testing" people to see if they'd tell you Happy Birthday.

Doubt it. I went on for two weeks before my 16th birthday, and still everyone, family included, forgot. It sucked. FYL OP. Hope it's better next year!

Haha, yes. Slightly! I have had far too many friends do the pity ploy to see if anyone is going to remember. I said somewhere below, I have 6 siblings and multiple other family members to remember. It's easy to forget someone's bday when you aren't reminded. I try to avoid this by putting people's bdays in my phone to remind me, but sometimes, I just forget. Ive seriously had people get pissed about it before, though.
