  • You're going to have ANOTHER piece of cake?
  • I know you're on a diet, so I just got you a salad for your celebration dinner
  • It's so frustrating that your birthday is right after Christmas; I can't ever think of something nice to get you.

    Yes

    I'm more hurt when I go a whole day and people forget.  

    Ooh, I do have a nice story though.  My birthday was two weeks ago (tomorrow.)  My boss is a baker and she always makes something for each person in our department on our birthdays.  There is this woman in another department that always shows up when there is cake/dessert/any food really.  She walked through and noticed cake.  She stops at one of my co-worker's desk and says "who's birthday is it?"  I hear P tell her "M's."  I hear her walking my direction, so I stop what I am doing so that when she says "happy birthday," I can thank her.  She walked right past me, into my boss' office, and says "come get me for cake."  Hmm  My boss tells her that we are going to have it right then and she still walks back to her office.  She waited until she heard everyone singing, which she always does, and came in to snag a piece of cake.  Still said nothing to me, and walked back to her office.  Indifferent  I was so offended.  She is a real douche-kabob though.
