Just because they forgot his birthday doesn't mean they don't care about him. I've forgotten my own birthday before, along with the rest of my family, and only realized it two days later. Birthdays aren't really that big of a deal.

I agree with Welshite. I've forgotten my birthday a billion times (I'm very old) and I don't like a big deal being made out of it, either. People care, OP. Just because they can't remember the exact date you were born doesn't mean they dislike you.

I wholeheartedly agree, birthdays are very overrated. When my nephew was first born (twenty years to the day after myself), I used to think of his age in terms of MY birthday. Now I remember my own age in terms of HIS birthday.

You are either surrounded by jerks or you need to change. Happy birthday

I'm pretty fucking sure that, "with someone else's name on it" means that it was a different name, not Op's name misspelled.

How would they know it was OP's birthday?

Clumsycarolyn gets a cake for her birthday. It reads Big Dick on the top. 'I guess they forget how to spell my name.'

As a joke, my last cake read, "Happy Birthday Hood-Rat". It was still just as delicious! :P

Yeah as well as the tax dep.
