You don't really care about the birthday notifications until you don't get any all day.

[–]Sub-cidal 2 points3 points ago

Whats better? Set your birthday to some random date, See who actually gives a fuck.

[–]arealitychecker 1 point2 points ago

Or rather who doesn't know anything about you at all.

[–]SupermanV2 167 points168 points ago

I'm one of those lazy people who ignore it all day and then make an update about how thankful I am later.

[–]Hobbes86 55 points56 points ago

Happy Cake Day!

[–]SupermanV2 62 points63 points ago

Thanks mate.

[–]KittyCanScratch 140 points141 points ago

You sound like you're from London!

[–]martonsmash 6 points7 points ago

Can you get some towels for me please? I'm really losing a lot of blood.

[–]Apterygiformes 6 points7 points ago

Sound

[–]CummingEverywhere 1 point2 points ago

Why London?

[–]cheesinator 5 points6 points ago

Do you even wanna win?

[–]SupermanV2 4 points5 points ago

I don't get it. What did I miss?

[–]dorei22 8 points9 points ago

I'm one of those lazy people who ignore it all day and then make an update about how thankful I am later.

So someone starts doing the Happy Birthday comments, and instead of waiting until there were about 20 happy birthday's and then making a general update to your comment like Edit: Thanks everyone! You replied immediately to the first person.

[–]SupermanV2 7 points8 points ago

Oh right yeah. We're approaching hour 23 of my cake day with about 1 hour of sleep in the middle there. Please forgive me.

[–]Belaires 1 point2 points ago

I remove my info a few weeks prior and put it back up afterwards if someone asks

[–]SaysYourPassword 0 points1 point ago

[–]samissleman17 15 points16 points ago

Once I called someone on their birthday, then they later yelled at me when I didn't write on their Facebook wall. We weren't friends long afterward. I even tried quitting Facebook once, but I got yelled at.

[–]PackersFanNFL 19 points20 points ago

I was gunna comment with a pic of the overly attached girlfriend because I thought I was so fucking clever... But I couldn't figure out how to. I have come to the conclusion I'm a fucking idiot

[–]NSNick 2 points3 points ago

Step 1. Upload a pic of OAG.
Step 2. Type "[link text](http://link.url)"
Step 3. Remove the quotes, replace link text and link url with actual values.

[–]Josefstu 49 points50 points ago

Op is 12?

[–]Breathing_Balls 113 points114 points ago

13 now. It's his birthday.

[–]bastard_thought 1 point2 points ago

OP was 11.

OP is 12 now.

School's out for summer.

[–]MrBadGamz 6 points7 points ago

You are one year closer to dying or getting more responsibility than you want. Have a cookie.

[–]Nataliaissexy 15 points16 points ago

It's my birthday too!:D

[–]Breathing_Balls 8 points9 points ago

Yeah! Proof please.

You with birthday hat, birthday suit and balloons would suffice.

[–]FlappyTheNarwhal 6 points7 points ago

But the only mandatory part is the suit, the others are just fluff.

[–]Joshesmuybueno 3 points4 points ago

Same here

[–]OfficialTroll 2 points3 points ago

Birthday Bros!

[–]shadybrainfarm 1 point2 points ago

Mine also, woot woot!

[–]DellTheEngie 1 point2 points ago

Hell yeah me too!

[–]aryon984 3 points4 points ago

[–]Zephyrion 3 points4 points ago

Also mine! 23 today. :)

[–]kaythanksbye2 2 points3 points ago

We were born on the exact same day. I am also 23 today :)

[–]OfficialTroll 1 point2 points ago

Yay!

[–]PR0CT0R 1 point2 points ago

Mine as well. 18 today

[–]ILL_Show_Myself_Out 21 points22 points ago

I love the look of devilish anticipation.

[–]sayhitothehobo 8 points9 points ago

[–]veryoriginal78 3 points4 points ago

I'm just a sweet transvestite!

[–]The-Thrill 14 points15 points ago

I hate getting wall posts from people I haven't talked to in years saying Happy Birthday. It makes no sense. I don't tell anyone happy birthday on Facebook either. It's a silly, hollow gesture.

[–]exjentric 3 points4 points ago

I hate it when people just type "Happy Birthday!" Put some personality to it!

[–]OllyOllyO 6 points7 points ago

I deleted my b-day from my FB page. That way, only people who I hang out w/ regularly comment.

[–]jswiftydowell 5 points6 points ago

Repost!

[–]rueldotme 3 points4 points ago

I do not publish my real birthday on facebook. So I will know who of my dear friends will remember.

Sadly, nobody greeted me that day except for my parents. :(

[–]Gentle_Lamp 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, because everyone runs around with others' birthdays in their memory or on their mind.

"ohmuhgod jake has a birtday in 8 months from now, I'd better get ready."

[–]redditawhileago 1 point2 points ago

I actually like that I remember my good friends' birthdays.

[–]jazzyminpc 3 points4 points ago

My birthday too!!

[–]uselesspocketwatch 5 points6 points ago

Happy Nikola Tesla's birthday.

[–]fawker 7 points8 points ago

so, when does school start up again?

...tween tumbler bullshit

[–]Dick_Serious 6 points7 points ago

My actual friends at least text me on my BD.

The only people who say happy birthday to me on facebook are people i never talk to and dont care about.

[–]redmongrel 11 points12 points ago

It's a conundrum though - on one hand a text to your phone SEEMS more direct and therefore personal. However a birthday wish on Facebook announces to the WORLD that you are adored by others. Which is almost like a gift in itself. I like the FB wishes.

[–]StiverSC 2 points3 points ago

Why not both?

[–]redmongrel 5 points6 points ago

Because then you're just stalker-ish.

[–]StiverSC 2 points3 points ago

I wanted to change my birthdate so I had 4 birthdays during a year, and record who catches on. See who cares when my birthdate actually is versus the people who just blindly reply to every "new birthday" messages facebook tells them about.

[–]jonosvision 2 points3 points ago

[–]melbatoasTX 2 points3 points ago

i don't see how this is funny at all. seems kinda sad. :(

[–]bonzo_drum 2 points3 points ago

For me it begins there. And ends there...

[–]snarkishark 4 points5 points ago

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[–]Deckurr 4 points5 points ago

Its my birthday too c:

[–]i_never_lol 4 points5 points ago

Today is my birthday too! /highfive!

Also it's Tesla's birthday, which I just learned today.

[–]Finnn_the_human 7 points8 points ago

Why is shit like this on reddit? I see this crud all day on fb.

[–]Jawmes808 2 points3 points ago

I just saw this exact one yesterday on Facebook.

[–]DriftingJesus 1 point2 points ago

Facebook isn't real

[–]dubspwns 1 point2 points ago

Man. That was me yesterday. I just turned off notifications for a day.

[–]Anonymous3891 0 points1 point ago

I just change my birthday a few days beforehand, then change it back later. I forgot this year until about 0030 and already had two. It was awful.

[–]dubspwns 1 point2 points ago

I didn't know you could do that! I think I'll do it next year. I don't really care to celebrate birthdays too much; at least not with a bunch of people I rarely talk to.

[–]rdiss 1 point2 points ago

[–]cantdescribe 1 point2 points ago

[–]infernoruby 1 point2 points ago

It's my birthday too! I feel so loved checking my facebook once every few hours. Much better than the 5 or so game invites I regularly receive.

[–]willmakavelli 1 point2 points ago

I remember back in the day when they gave you a notification for every individual post on your wall. Now they just give you one and say "37 people wrote on your wall." I Miss the 90 notification birthdays...

[–]bisque 1 point2 points ago

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[–]Julio3094 1 point2 points ago

This is a respost but this is still hilarious.

[–]pieman1122 1 point2 points ago

That used to be a rage comic

[–]linconpark1 1 point2 points ago

I hate facebook now, 90% of the stuff on my feed is shit "like if" posts only go on it too see If anyone has died.

Yet

[–]noyougirls 1 point2 points ago

haha. I went to high school with him.

[–]SSaint 4 points5 points ago

One of my friends made this and posted it to their tumblr nearly two months ago. Funny to see it stolen and reposted to Reddit rather than the other way around

[–]OmegaVesko 3 points4 points ago

You do realize Reddit is a link aggregator, right?

[–]lazenbooby 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I've seen this exact picture all over Twitter/Tumblr. Care to post a picture of yourself OP?

[–]CheckeredChicken 1 point2 points ago

I will give credit to your friend if I use this idea on my birthday :] it's really clever!

And to OP, happy birthday man!

[–]BeowulfsBro 3 points4 points ago

Me too! Apparently it's also Nikola Tesla's birthday today.

[–]RzK 5 points6 points ago

I want to punch you

[–]Hazephaelos 1 point2 points ago

Happy birthday! As I go further and further through college I have noticed a rapid decline in the number of Facebook happy birthdays I get. It seems to drop a steady ~20% every year. My birthday is on the 26th so I'm interested to see what happens.

The really sad thing is I'm more interested in the graph then the happy birthdays.

[–]bside 6 points7 points ago

for science...sniffle

[–]Hazephaelos 2 points3 points ago

Hahah I like to think its just the number of kids I know in college going all "hipster" and deleting or stop checking it, but there is a definite drop in friends overall, especially ones from high school.

[–]inglal 1 point2 points ago

mine is the 26th too!

[–]Hazephaelos 1 point2 points ago

Ah, so you had to go through the torture of mid summer birthdays when you were a kid?

I remember that every year at least half my friends would be at some camp or another, or some family trip.

[–]inglal 1 point2 points ago

yes it was horrible. and to top it off my younger sisters birthday was a week before mine. yay for combined birthdays. not.

[–]Hazephaelos 0 points1 point ago

know how that one feels too. Grandparent and aunt within 3 days!

[–]inglal 1 point2 points ago

my aunts birthday is the same as me. a whole freakin year and we have to all be connected?

[–]Hazephaelos 0 points1 point ago

Apparently hahahah

[–]yousicklittlemonkey 1 point2 points ago

Hey mine too!!!!!

[–]CynicSatire 1 point2 points ago

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOO OMG LIKE WOW WE'RE TWINS

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Not sure if making fun of all the other people commenting here... Or just... I don't know what else, really.

[–]CynicSatire 1 point2 points ago

It's kinda both. I mean it actually is my birthday. But I'm not a sorority girl.

[–]geos121 1 point2 points ago

My birthday too bro! Happy Birthday

[–]Tuxedokitty 1 point2 points ago

Me too!!! Happy birthday!!!!!

[–]AJRambo 1 point2 points ago

My Birthday too

[–]frig_ 1 point2 points ago

i have my birthday set to display as april 1. anyone who wishes me a happy birthday gets unfriended.

[–]coldburntcoffee 4 points5 points ago

Not sure if you're joking... But you know you sound like a preteen girl right?

[–]frig_ 0 points1 point ago

i'm partially joking. my birthday is set to display as april 1, but i'm only facebook friends with ... y'know, actual close friends (who know when my birthday is).

oh, and i am chris hansen a 12 year old girl.

[–]toychristopher 1 point2 points ago

My birthday is April 1.

[–]kaythanksbye2 0 points1 point ago

Reading through this topic, I never realized that I had such a popular birthday!

[–]BigDrummer 0 points1 point ago

Mine too. Did the same thing. Minus the cool hat.

[–]alBROgge 0 points1 point ago

I appreciate your use of the forgotten term "birthday"

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point ago

Congrats! Mine too!

[–]blakeready710 0 points1 point ago

It's my birthday today as well, and this was exactly me last night

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I'm SAP... I push my birthdate forward a month and switch it back a few days later.

[–]diemonkeys 0 points1 point ago

Today's your birthday?! It's my birthday today too! Happy birthday!

[–]DitchWitch13 0 points1 point ago

Is it really your birthday? You better not be lying to me about getting my hopes up for a birthday buddy.

[–]Leatherman8 0 points1 point ago

Is it the camera perspective or are you wearing Hulk Smash Gloves? Some big hands there.

Happy Birthday.

[–]lisabadcat 0 points1 point ago

[–]flamingiceriver 0 points1 point ago

I'm going to the same thing for my birthday!

[–]theislandking 0 points1 point ago

I have 28 friends on Facebook. No need for wall post. I can accomodate 28 people for beer at my place, right?

[–]_Summerbreeze_ 0 points1 point ago

I think this is kind of sad.

[–]JHanz 0 points1 point ago

MINE TOO! HAPPY JULY 10th BIRTHDAYS!!!

[–]Salsashaman 0 points1 point ago

Happy Birthday

[–]gx1400 0 points1 point ago

Happy Birthday, mine is tomorrow. Now I get to check my phone every 10 min

[–]Prettym1k3 0 points1 point ago

I'm one of those people who change my birthday the day before my birthday, to see how many people know my actual birthday. I like to socially experiment on my friend and family.

[–]SamElliottsVoice 0 points1 point ago

This past year I performed a little experiment. I removed my birthday from my facebook profile so the people on my friends list wouldn't get a little reminder.

Guess how many people posted on my wall that day?

[–]Shamson 0 points1 point ago

I actually forgot that it was my birthday this year. I go back to work on monday and someone's like "What did you do on your birthday???" "Sat on the couch and drank half a bottle of Jack Daniels while watching racing." They looked so disappointed.

[–]I_Have_Gum 0 points1 point ago

I laughed way to Hard at this. OR JUST HARD ENOUGH.

[–]upsidedowntoilet 0 points1 point ago

Happy birthday! :)

[–]smyd223 0 points1 point ago

fuck facebook.

[–]Adelz 0 points1 point ago

The whole facebook birthday thing to me is such bullshit. I mean it fucking tells you right there on the homepage. Its more of a "I checked facebook and it happened to be your birthday" than "I want your birthday to be a good day for you"

Moral of the story, always text/call your friends on their birthday, even if facebook WAS the thing that reminded you.

[–]Ixilary 0 points1 point ago

Just out of curiosity, am I the only one who does nothing for their birthday? My birthday is just like any other day for me, and I don't really expect anything for it either.

[–]Fernify 0 points1 point ago

Actually mine too. What're the odds!

[–]fivo7 0 points1 point ago

happy birthday

[–]ladsdrunk 0 points1 point ago

Tis my real life cake day today also!

[–]albino_polar_bear_ 0 points1 point ago

Most likely a FarmVille request.

[–]CaptColeslaw 0 points1 point ago

My birthday today too. I changed my birthdate to august 10th as a joke, to see who would notice. Turns out the joke's on me. :(

[–]SC0TTBL4M 0 points1 point ago

She had over 300!
