Birthdays come every year and most of us wait for them like there’s no tomorrow. Its one day of the year when people celebrate and feel special with all their loved ones around; getting gifts, fancy cakes, birthday surprises and what not.
But things don’t always go according to our plans. Somethings come complimentary with birthdays and we just can’t do anything about it. Yep, there’s a whole list of annoying things about birthdays that most of us go through year after year and there isn’t a real solution to them. Take a look.
#1 Birthday bumps
Well, lets face it, no one likes to get kicked on an ordinary day right? Then why birthdays? Birthday bumps are so 90’s and its time we let them be. It’s my special day and you better stay away from my booty.
#2 Those 12am phone calls
As the clock strikes 12:00 those incessant phone calls can really get to you. It’s funny how people you haven’t heard from ages are sincerely calling you to wish you “glad you are you still alive!”. Make us wonder, where the hell were these people for the last 364 days?
#3 The Cake dilemma
Birthdays are undoubtedly the happiest day of a person’s life. But even then it all comes down to the moment of truth when you have to feed the first bite of the cake to the dearest one. Bam! That dilemma is the worst where so many people are just looking at you and you don’t know who to turn to. In that situation, take the first bite yourself. That is the best escape. You owe us one now!
#4 Family vs Friends – Who to pick?
Now that’s a tough one. Let’s admit it, your birthday can never really be your day. Trying to play sober in front of your family while you are drunk/hungover AF does not feel very pleasant. And the balancing act between family and friends is really hard to handle.
#5 Birthday party planning
If you are planning to throw your birthday party at home we wish you luck. May lord give you the strength and perseverance to clean the random friend’s dried puke from your couch or your parent’s washroom (ouch!).
#6 Birthday party budgets
Be ready to go broke as a joke. You might have to live from hand to mouth for the rest of the month, but your friends on the other hand will have no mercy on you and exploit every bit of the free food and booze you have to offer. Welcome to the homeless community!
#7 Lame gifts
The whole idea of receiving gifts has always made birthdays exciting for everyone, but people fail to understand how gifts mean so much to most of us. So receiving a lame gift might make you want to punch them on the face or even worse, NOT receiving any gifts can make sh*t go down real bad.
#8 Annoying birthday cards
If you have never received a birthday card playing ‘Happy birthday’, you must thank your stars as they can be one of the most irritating things on this planet. As you open the card you will hear a screechy voice singing happy Birthday to you and hell it will go on and on repeating the same thing making you want to tear it into pieces. Again, such cards are a passe.
