Today, it was my 17th birthday. My mom forgot and my best friend is out of town. The highlight of my day? The guy at McDonald's slipped an extra apple pie in my bag. FML

Today, it's my 18th birthday. Last month was my best friend's 18th birthday. She spent the night with me, and the next morning, my mom and brother gathered in my room and sang "Happy Birthday" as they handed her pancakes with a candle on top. Today, I was woken up by screams to take the trash out. FML

Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML

Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML

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 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." FML

Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML

Today, I found out I can't go to my best friend's birthday party. To cheer me up, my parents decided to take me and my brother to my favorite pizzeria for dinner. When I was ready and went downstairs, I discovered they left already. They forgot me. FML

Today, I walked into a restaurant with my parents to celebrate my Mom's birthday. They immediately got a kid's menu and crayons out for me. I'm 15. FML

How was the apple pie?

You do know that the price is the same for both one and two so they automattically give you two when you order one right?

By the time you're 17 you shoudn't really be happy about birthdays anyway. The only birthdays you should even care about are 18 and 21. Maybe 35 (I think) if you ever wanna run for president. Also, apple pies are two for one anyway. Happy freakin' birthday.

Happy birthday! :) I sympathize... I'm 17. From my 13th to my 16th birthday, I ended my «birthday» evening -no party- in tears in a corner of my room after a verbal fight with my mom. At my 17th...she left the house, angry again, at 7AM. Plus, she's always confused about the date... That's how life goes, hey. Try to note it on a calendar or somewhere, next year.

Hey, free pie! Don't take it personally. People are busy during at the end of August getting into back-to-school mode. My birthday's on the 30th and people frequently forget; we just end up celebrating a week later or something. :)

I would be glad if people forgot about my birthday. Do you really need to be the center of attention? What's the use? You're better off with an extra apple pie at McDonalds.

I love the lack of reasoning some of you have, yeah they're 2 for $1 at mcdonalds but OP didn't say they got 2 theysaid they an extra one, how would you know they didn't get 3? Although, it would be funny as hell if they got 2.
