“When I saw the first post on Facebook, I thought it was a rather aggressive joke,” our submitter says. “Then I saw her response two days later, when only 45 people (yes, I counted) wished her a happy birthday on her wall.” What a tough world we live in! (sob)

I have two quotes in response to this:
“All your base are belong to us.”
“The last time you should expect people to make a big deal for your birthday is when you’re 7 years old.”

I am shocked to see someone like F has successfully used “accept” and “expect” in her FB posts (except for the lack of an “-ing”).

Well, I didn’t post on your birthday because, had I posted what I really wanted to say, you’d hate me even more than you do right now.

A wise man once said the only time your birthday truly matters to others is when you’re at a point in your life you have little bladder control.

What a narcissistic twat … Also, that probably says it’s time she pruned the 1,555 people she met once and friended, because out of them only 45 people ACTUALLY give a shit she’s still alive to see 22. My bet is half of them only wished her a happy birthday so they wouldn’t have to hear her bitch about it later.

Oh for fuck’s sake. I stopped caring about birthdays when I was in elementary school. Except a few years in high school where one could make about $30 at school on one’s birthday.

“Yesterday was my birthday, and I am so disappointed that all of my disgusting meat-eating ‘friends’ were too busy feeding flesh-based food to your cats to take a moment to post a message on my Facebook wall. Screw you for being less than super-useful as always.”

That twat better be on FB every day of the year wishing everyone else a happy birthday. My guess is she doesn’t, or has some lame ass FB app that’ll post a generic happy birthday message for everyone.

I am disappointed in all of those who didn’t jump when I told them to, but I’m learning to accept that in my 22 years of age. Thank you.

This person is such a charmer. No wonder she is on FB during her birthday counting the postings on her wall.

I just post “Happy Hammer Day, Steve” or “Best Wishes on Your Hair Implant, Marge” on people’s walls. (I just use whatever name pops into my head). “Deepest Condolences on your Loss at Bingo, Robespierre.” (I do the same thing when someone at work shoves a birthday card at me to sign. I always sign it “Lars”. Let them wonder why Lars wished a 40-year-old man congratulations on his pregnancy.

Actually, your friends have given you the greatest gift of all for your birthday. The knowledge that you are not the center of the universe.

I got way more than expected my last birthday. It was not all my FB friends but I was pretty pleased that it was a fraction of them.
People keep busy and the fact that anyone takes a moment to wish you a Happy B Day is pretty nice. Also considering your FB friends could all over the country, you’re getting well wishers you wouldn’t have gotten before.

Well I, for one, don’t want go on living in a world where everyone I know doesn’t drop what they’re doing, log on to facebook, and validate my existence via hollow well-wishing.

I never understand why people get so upset over FB birthday wishes, because I actually wish people WOULDN’T post on my facebook when it’s my birthday. For some reason it makes a bunch of people you never actually talk to feel compelled to wish you happy birthday and feign interest in your life.

Meh. If Miss Princess had real friends they would have already wished her a happy birthday in real life and she wouldn’t have given a flying fck about FB. As far as wishes go I’d have thought one would prefer people to mean it than to through the motions.
People who obsesses over their popularity on an online medium like FB do baffle me. But then again, I hate FB with a raging passion.

Someone is very needy and clearly doesn’t have much of a life going on. I’m picturing her checking Facebook every five minutes to see if someone new wished her happy birthday. I’m at the point that all I want for my birthday is the ability to sleep in.

This is why I make it a rule not to wish anybody a happy birthday on facebook ever, so that if anybody complains, I can be like “Dude, I didn’t even wish my MOM a happy birthday on facebook”.

I don’t list my birthday on Facebook because I find the repetitive “Happy Birthday” messages really tedious. I can’t imagine actually being upset about that.

Really, that explains alot. I work nearby, and I encounter narcissists like this all the time.

I don’t mind the FB birthday wishes, as long as the people who matter wish me in person. That’s what really counts. I have friends on Facebook that I have no idea who they are. “Happy birthday” from them really doesn’t mean much.
22 years and no manners. Sheesh!

For April Fools Day I changed my birthday to April 1st. I got about 100 birthday wishes. that is about %25 of my friends.
Some of those birthday wishes come from people who were there when I was born, 49 years ago, in the month of June.

Happy Belated Jill!
This girl needs a clue…I’m surprised no one gave her a ‘real’ HBD greeting…she’d have been singing a different tune for sure.

Oh and I have passive aggressive text related to one of the other posts about this.
I’m going to see if I can figure out how to submit it here.
