I hate my birthday, that being said, this one was better than others.

A little history here, one birthday my brother said we were going out for my birthday, turns out he already had plans for it and made it seem like it was a planned thing. He calls me and tells me "Oh yeah, I met up with some people I went to school and we're going out for dinner, there's not enough room for you in our cars, you can drive down to meet us."

Then the next one I was on business trip, overseas, the only one in the company there, on my birthday alone.

Next one I my girlfriend at the time decided to go out with some of her girlfriends, she forgot it was my birthday.

The one after that, I was living out of my truck at the time, due to her getting a order for me to stay the house I was paying for. She used the fact that I was traveling extensively and had a constructive abandonment order issued. But karma got her back, she sold the house later, and due to bad decisions lost almost everything and had to move in with her parents.

The next year I was trying to get a new life in order, and my entire family forgot to call or wish me a happy birthday.

The one after that, I had to work all day and wound up doing nothing.

The next one, my sister threw me a party, but my mom got a little too drunk and pretty much ruined it.

Comes another birthday, that one was ok, was taken out to dinner but had to pay my share.

Then last year, sister gives me a nice party. But the girl I was taking as a date, texts (texts me! she didn't even call) me 30 minutes before I was to pick her up and says she had a work emergency and can't make. Later on, I found she lied, and wound up going out to dinner or something with some other guy.

Then this year, I get taken out to dinner, but wound up having what she wanted for the appetizer, split the entree she wanted, and had to pay 1/2 of it again and paid for the movie too. Why? Because she has bills to pay, and I have more money than she does. And also couldn't drink.... because I needed to drive while she had several drinks.

So yeah.... fuck my birthday.... it's just another day.

Sounds like you should more carefully choose who to celebrate with!
 
Re: I hate my birthday, that being said, this one was better than othe

There are a lot of people in your life you need to get rid of.

My birthday is on tax day... Uncle Sam is one uncle who takes money FROM me on that day, rather than send me a card WITH money, lol.

I had a bad experience with my birthday last year. My friends were nagging me to go out, and I put something together and it ended up feeling like they all had to go out their way to be there as some sort of obligation. I know my friends have busy lives, and I'm fine with that. And birthdays aren't that big a deal to me anyway. I'd just like to not spend it alone, even if all it means is taco and movie night at home with my husband.

What bugs me is that these friends are the ones who pushed me to get everyone together. On top of that, one of them sent out an email to her close friends (including me) that very morning, saying that she needed to spend more time on herself and can't make it to every event, etc. Then she proceeded to show up, and the whole thing just felt very awkward and I'd rather she hadn't come at all if it was such an ordeal for her.

Anyway, this year the same friends wanted to take me out and I flat out said no. I'm not going through that bullshit again. I love these people dearly and would do almost anything for them, but sometimes they're just such flakes.

People should spend time together if they have it, and if they want to. It shouldn't be out of some sort of obligation.

I guess I'm lucky. The worst thing I've had to do on my birthday is take a final exam. Which was kind of annoying, though.

The same happened to me but I got some awesome presents and a tasty birthday cake so it all evened out.

I can't offer much advice, only to say I'm sorry for your pitiful luck.

Thanks, and thanks to everyone else who wished me better luck or condolences. It just happens to be bad luck I suppose. This year I went into hoping it would be better, and in a way it was. I found a wallet on the ground on the day of my birthday, had several bank cards, ID, gift cards in it. The college I'm attending uses your student ID with school name and .edu at the end for your school email. Emailed him, telling him I found his wallet, got it back to him the next day and he gave me $25 for finding his wallet. So that was something better.

For a second there I was worried you were going to say you kept it. :lol:

i know this is completely off topic but sometimes its actually better to do that. if the owner claims to have had lets say 5g in the wallet when he lost it and you give it back, you end up having to pay the missing money. even i you didnt take it.
happened to a friend of mine once. she ended up paying 100 euros. court order...


OT: Hope your luck turns, my friend. and happy birthday. even if it was late.

Something important to keep in mind. What you describe is not indicative of birthdays. Rather, it is indicative of those you hangout with. Perhaps a change is in order? In one post you mention "better luck". Luck is involved to some degree but you can also do you part to change things.

Yeah, if the people you associate with are the reason your birthdays have been crappy, then maybe it's time to meet some new friends.
