>It's my birthday today >at work we have a team meeting >boss brings a cake to the meeting >think to myself "wow they remembered my birthday, so sweet of them!" >jitter in anticipation for them to recognize it >the cake ends up not being for me but for my coworker who became a designated accountant
i have a question did you ever tell them your birthday?
Wyatt Jenkins
i would hate it if my coworkers got me a cake for my birthday....
Isaiah Roberts
Do all of your other coworkers get cakes brought in for them on their birthdays? If the answer is 'no' then shut up. Bring in your own cake if you want to celebrate your birthday with your coworkers. Happy birthday, as well.
Jonathan Gonzalez
I can count on one hand the amount of times somebody outside of my mom has remembered my birthday
last month I did because they specifically went around the meeting and asked everyone when their birthday was. Everyone gets a cake on their birthday.
I obviously kept my mouth shut to avoid embarrassment when I found out it wasn't for me.
Parker Bell
what television program or film is this from?
Jacob Price
aw well, that's genuinely quite sad, sorry user and happy birthday.
Logan Bell
Hope you had an okay birthday otherwise user. My fav movie is HER, maybe you'll enjoy it for your bday. People can be so thoughtless and cruel. Cunts as my dead grandmother would say
>Everyone gets a cake on their birthday. Sounds like your boss just dabbed on you, friend.
Connor Baker
Kill yourself faggot
Jacob Bell
Yes they do
Jace James

>girl at work asks my birthday >tell her >says she wants to get me something >2 weeks later birthday >girl shows up to work even though it's her day off >didn't get me anything, didnt even acknowledge me.
>i would hate it if my coworkers got me a cake for my birthday....
This. Nothing worse then annoying "work friends" making a fuss and making you the centre of attention. Last job I had when I handed in my resignation, they said they were organising a goodbye party for my last day. So I just didn't turn up to work on my last day. Its probably autism, but I just didn't want a fuss and wanted to leave quietly.

>that one 5/10 in the front office makes you a cake for your birthday >it tastes like shit don't know what to do about this one
Why do you even let your work do birthday stuff for you? It's shameful
Jonathan Cox
uhhh he's a human being? This makes you feel valued.
Don't even want to know what shithole you come from
Dominic Johnson
Count yourself lucky, OP.
The insincere forced camaraderie of an office birthday party is truly cringe, and being the subject of such a party is a fate worse than ten thousand deaths by torture.
Wyatt Young
Ah yes the illusion of value. Upstate NY lol. Don't worry, my employers have a secretary send a card every year addressed to my legal name instead of my preferred name. My boss handed it to me without any fanfare, this was the week it happened, and so the day came and went without any fuss. I also tell my family not to bother doing anything for mine. I prefer to rest and relax
Elijah Davis
I literally actively avoid people I know on my birthday and make sure as less people as possible know about it, be it at work or anywhere else.
Just leave me alone
Oliver Long
Is this because deep down you know you won’t get the recognition you crave so you have a defense mechanism against it?
Jeremiah Adams
Why would I crave recognition. I avoid people all my life.
When I see someone I even vaguely know coming my way in public I cross the street just so I avoid that obligatory time wasting small talk interaction that one "should" have.
Adam Hall
Are you me? Actually don’t answer that, I don’t care and have no desire to converse with you.
