Today, I turned 29. To celebrate, my office got me a cake that read "Happy 38th!!" The "theme" of the "party" was 'Not a day over 35!' I waited all day for someone to tell me it was all a prank, but nobody did. I spent my lunch hour crying in my car. Happy birthday to me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my birthday. My wife gave me a card that read, "You made it to 36!" It's my 35th birthday. FML
Today, my coworkers surprised me with a birthday cake. It was really sweet, until I realized it was for another “Chris” who works in accounting. They only noticed after I blew out the candles. FML
Today, my family threw me a surprise party for my 29th Birthday. My brother-in-law sent me a text telling me they were all waiting for me to arrive. Thinking it was at my sister's home, I drove two hours there. It was actually at my parents' house. I missed my party and they ate my cake. FML
Today, I realised yesterday was my 30th birthday. What made it worse is that my parents forgot, along with my other relatives and friends. No cards, no texts, no calls, no Facebook messages. Nothing. Happy 30th to me. FML
Today, my boss threw a party for everyone in the office who has a birthday in September. Everyone got a cake with their names on it except me. My birthday is today. FML
Today, my co-workers threw me a surprise 30th birthday party. After lighting sparklers on the cake and singing happy birthday, we all enjoyed a few moments of sparkly, happy fun time. Then the building's fire alarm tripped and over 200 people had to be evacuated. FML
Today, I turned 22. Instead of cutting my own cake, I stood by and smiled at a friend's belated birthday party. Her birthday was actually two months ago, but she decided to have her party on my birthday. No one remembered mine but everyone got her beautiful gifts. FML
Today, I celebrated my 22nd birthday. On my cake stood last year's "21" candle, to which had been added a single candle. Clearly, times are tough. FML
Today, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML
Today, it's my 30th birthday. My husband came home with a big case of beer for himself, then told me he didn't have time to get me a present because of work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

29 = 38 since 2+9 = 3+8 = 11

Waaah! They think I'm older than I am. Boo-hoo! Get over yourself. Nobody gives a shit.

It could be that you act older.

Quit being childish and be grateful someone thought of you on your birthday. -_- YDI.

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is but not OP and I'm still in my early twenties. Age is just a number after all. Plus, OP gets a party with cake and has a boss and co-workers that care so I'd say she's quite fortunate. Don't take it too personally OP, it was probably just an honest mistake on your co-workers part, you could have just politely corrected them. I think what's saddest part about this fml is that her co-workers don't know her real age (a few year difference is one think but 10/11 years? Then again it's easy to mix up 2 and 3.)

Maybe they thought so because of your maturity level and because of how smart you are?

At least they remembered your birthday...even if they and blind (at not seeing your young beautiful face) and math failures (for not finding your birthyear and doing the math)

that's sucks but at least they care enough to celebrate it.
