Today, I celebrated my birthday with my friend who has the same birthday by going out to dinner with a bunch of our friends. The waiter brought out a cake for my friend but not for me. No one noticed my exclusion. I sang happy birthday on my birthday. 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, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML

Today, it was my best friend's birthday party. Her boyfriend and I agreed to organize a dinner date to surprise her and celebrate. They celebrated, but forgot me until they arrived at the restaurant and saw the dinner reservation under my name. FML

Today, I took my friends out to an expensive restaurant for my birthday treat. They had arranged for a surprise birthday cake for me which I cut, very happily, while they chanted birthday wishes. When the bill came, I discovered I was supposed to pay for my great 'surprise' cake. FML

Today, it's my birthday and I'd arranged a dinner party for 20 of my closest friends. I arrived at the restaurant, fully dressed and everything. When I got there, I thought everyone was ready to surprise me, but instead, nobody showed up. FML

Today, it was my co-worker's birthday but she told me not to mention it. Feeling bad for her, I went out to buy her a card, a present, and even a small cake. It turns out that there was actually a party during our lunch break, and I was the only one in our office not invited. FML

Long wait

Today, my best friend planned a birthday party for me at the local Mexican restaurant. NO ONE showed up. We'd told the waiter there would be 18 arriving. Two hours later he brought me free ice cream. Even the non-English speaking waiters knew I was a loser. FML

Plans

Today, a close friend told me she had no plans for her birthday. I found out she was lying when I had to serve her and nine other mutual friends dinner at the restaurant I work at. I don't know what's worse, the fact that I wasn't invited or that none of them even remembered that I worked there. FML

Today, it was my birthday. Nobody said anything, not even my Facebook friends, who probably got a notification about it. FML

Today, it's my birthday. At my workplace, we always get a cake for whoever's birthday it is. They somehow forgot about me. I've been working there for a year, and my grandparents and my dad own the restaurant I work at. FML

Your friend with the same birthday never said anything? I can see your birthday slipping your others friends' minds, it happens, but the girl who KNOWS you share a birthday and arranged for you to celebrate together? She sounds selfish. Get some better friends with more varied birthdays!

I'd have said "Gee thanks for the cake! Oh hey, where's yours, (name)?" But then, I can be a bitch when I want to.

This happened to me last year on my 25th... me and a bunch of friends, 2 with birthdays in the same month, all got a party bus and went into the city to celebrate at a Coyote Ugly like bar. Even though I had the birthday pin on too, the other 2 girls got free body shots on the bar and the cake that was brought out was for them. I wished I had never gone

Maybe you should have mentioned instead of trying to get them to remember it like the insecure person you are.

Man I hate it when "friends" are so self-absorbed like that. My group of "friends" in high school was like that, they would conveniently forget to invite me to things and then talk about how much fun they had right in front of me. I feel for you. Oh, and **** them.

yep, that's happened to me too, only there were 3 of us whose birthdays are all in a row, and we went out on MY actual birthday. Also, when the check came, everyone insisted that they not pay since it was their birthday, no one objected when I paid...

Well it's your fault for not saying anything. And it is also your fault for celebrating your birthday with your friend in the first place it NEVER turns out good. So you were basically asking for it. ---Cassy
