Today, my family and friends threw a surprise birthday party for me, after I'd said multiple times that I didn't want one. I turned and left and now everybody is angry at me and calling me ungrateful and spoiled. FML

I don't like celebrating my birthday either. It's my day and I want peace and quiet.

How dare they love you and go through such effort to throw you a party. What useless friends, you really showed them, hey⸮ Sarcasm aside, same thing happened to me when I was 21, I wasn't to happy about it at the time. But I sucked it up and appreciated the effort my family and friends had put in for me.
