I had a discussion recently with someone about this. Since we don’t really celebrated our birthdays we weren’t sure what’s “normal “.
I couldnt care less. I never understood how people would be angry at others for forgetting their birthdays. Its just a damn anniversary…
I expect my mother and identical twin to remember my birthday. I hope my husband remembers, but would not be upset if he didn’t. (He’s never forgotten)
All my friends remember when by about +/-3 days. Every year I invite everyone to meet for food and drinks one night.
Let them know for those that I want to know get together with. Otherwise if they remember … great, if not no big deal.
I don’t celebrate my birthday and I don’t tell people my birthday unless it’s required for something.
It’s January 1st, 1970 no matter who (or what) asks
Unix time?
You’re exactly 5 years older than me. What a coincidence!
Heh, you old af. My condolences.
But at least that’s a nice round number.
I hate birthdays so I am OK with everyone forgetting
Those that know, know. I don’t like the extra attention on an arbitrary day. I also don’t message people happy birthday. Only if I see you in person or you’re my wife and I’m away.
HAHA No, I don’t expect them to remember, and I don’t remind them. In August I’ll be 47 I haven’t had a birthday party, gift, or card since I was maybe 25, the year my mother passed away. I’ve been married for 21 years. Not to be clear, my wife does say “Happy birthday”. But she’s not really a gift giver type of person.
I go out of my way to not have people know my birthday.
I don’t particularly like celebrating birthdays or holidays so I definitely do not expect anyone to remember. I also avoid telling my birthday whenever I can evading as I can. That being said I throw peoples birthday into my cal as I discover them so I can be congnizant of them since most people do celebrate that stuff. If you want to impress me though get me a really relevant gift out of the blue that you got for free, made, or was just a steal of a deal. or a handmedown. don’t be like seinfeld though and lie to me on how cheap you got the thing as the experience should be authentic.
I hope they forget my birthday. Me too, thanks.
I plan on not celebrating my birthday and only bring it up if conversation happens to lead there, or if somebody asks. Usually somebody remembers and offers a dinner or to hang out. Not a fan of big parties! Too much hubbub.
Neither.
IDGAF if anyone remembers, and I ain’t reminding anyone.
About the only thing I care about regarding my birthday is being allowed to nap without interruption lol.
I don’t want to be celebrated, so it’s up to other folks if they want to celebrate my birthday. I’m certainly not going to remind them.
