Today, my dad called to wish me a happy birthday. I said thank you but informed him that my birthday is tomorrow. He told me that I was wrong and screamed at me for 20 minutes. When I still wouldn't agree with him, he hung up and turned my phone service off. FML
InterestingMuch tells us more.
The worst part about this is that he did this last year as well. Except last year, he called TWO days early and tried to shrug it off as a joke. This year, I think he was just super embarrassed and felt like crap. He DID turn my phone back on and called me today (the right day this time) and apologized. Said he was stressed from work. Maybe next year? 3rd time is the charm, right? I mean, he is getting closer to the right day....

I know how you feel. My mom lost a bet to my brother about what year I was born. You'd think she'd remember what year she squeezed me out in.

Actually, your brain "forgets" the pain of the squeezing, so women would maybe want to do it again ... so it isn't strange that women tend to forget that part ... just saying

Oh I know. I've been pregnant twice and given birth three times (twins). They were pretty damn big events in my life so I figured it was the same with her. I don't hold it against her. We joke about it now. I just tell her it's early onset of dementia.

Sounds like a very dogmatic person.

This sounds like something my asshole of a father would do. Except he wouldn't turn my phone back on after. It'd be 'my fault'.

I know my parent's birthdays, but I usually call a day or two before because I'm so scared I'll forget and miss it-- better early than late! Too bad he couldn't see it that way!

at least in Germany it's believed to bring bad luck... to late is okay, but never to early!
