Today, I opened my email expecting to see messages from my friends and family wishing me a happy birthday, but there were none. There were Happy Birthday messages from Pizza Hut and Victoria's Secret, however. FML

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

Today, it was my birthday. None of my family members wished me a happy birthday and neither did the 1,000+ "friends" I have on Facebook either. FML

Today, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML

Today, it was my birthday. I got ONE birthday greeting: from my bank, telling me they were closing my account. FML

Today, I'm still trying not to cry. Yesterday was by birthday. I got an email from my dad with three words, "Happy Birthday (nickname)". I got a Facebook post from my mother. No card. No phone call. No gift. I have become nothing more than a Facebook friend to my parents. FML

Today, it's my birthday, and my coworkers gave me a $75 gift card to a restaurant chain near my house. Later in the evening, I found out the chain of restaurants abruptly closed. All of them. FML

Today, it's my birthday. The only "happy birthday"s I got were from my mom, her Facebook account, and the Facebook account she made for her cat. FML

Today, the only person to wish me a happy birthday was a survey website. I took their stupid survey out of appreciation. FML

Today, it was my birthday and everyone in the office chipped in to buy me a card, and nothing but a card. It had a pre-written message on it and a space to write "Love, *insert name*" where everyone signed their names. The "Love" was crossed out and replaced with "From". FML

Today, it was my birthday. Normally, the little office I work in throws a big party for every employee on their special day, but nothing was done for me, not even a "Happy Birthday" came my way. I didn't want to be rude, so I stayed silent. They didn't do anything because I was getting laid off. FML

Remember though, not many people would say Happy Birthday through an email, its a more personal thing, they would more likely call you or say it in person. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Haha...that sucks. But depends. If you're away from home, and away from family and friends, and won't be seeing them on your birthday so they can say it in person then yeah, it sucks. But if you're gonna be seeing them then they'll probably say Happy Birthday to you in person, no? Or by phonecall if you are away right now. Either way...people don't really email anymore. It's more social networking sites these days! Also...yeah. There is a life outside of the web :P But happy birthday anyway!
