Options such as new Louis Vuitton bags, Dior this, Gucci that&hellip; knowing I was a university student making $15 per hour on mostly 3h shifts per week.&quot;</p><h2>4. From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Purple_Routine1297/">Purple_Routine1297</a>:</h2><p>&quot;This incident made me evaluate relationships, as a whole. A former friend of mine wanted to go to the club with some people I felt were bad energy. I said I don&rsquo;t go to clubs or drink alcohol, I&rsquo;ll just take her out to dinner on another day for her birthday. She got all pissy about it, saying she just &#39;wants to hang out with her friends,&#39; I was like ok, we can hang out over dinner, but I don&rsquo;t do bars or clubs. She went to the club and one of the people she went with got into a fight, and the guy he got into a fight with pulled a gun and shot a round in the air. She spent the rest of her birthday at the police station, giving a statement.&quot;</p><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>5. From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/curryp4n/">curryp4n</a>:</h2><p>&quot;My ex would have a birthday present list posted on his Facebook a month prior. It included things Iike $100 gift cards, paid-for dinner, cash, fully paid session at a race track, etc. Except he never celebrated anyone else&rsquo;s birthday, especially mine. I used to take him on trips for his birthday. He couldn&rsquo;t even write me a card.&quot;</p><h2>6. From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/OverallDisaster/">OverallDisaster</a>:</h2><p>&quot;My sister in law got offended that we scheduled our wedding on her husband&rsquo;s birthday (neither one of us had any idea, had met BIL just a few times). We had a full meal at our reception, but instead of eating there, they took off to go eat dinner at a restaurant, and left their baby with my father in law and his wife, which meant they were babysitting instead of being able to enjoy their other child&rsquo;s wedding reception.&quot;</p><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>7. From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/sly_custard_kert/">sly_custard_kert</a>:</h2><p>&quot;I gave my &#39;friend&#39; a book about horses for her 12th birthday party. Unbeknownst to me, she already had this book. She was so angry that she threw it across the room almost hitting her brother in front of everyone. Her mum jumped, dragged her out of the room and was yelling at her. I just cried.&quot;</p><h2>8. From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/tootzone/">tootzone</a>:</h2><p>&quot;One girl left my church because the priest didn&#39;t telephatically know it was her birthday and didn&#39;t have the choir sing the traditional prayer for events like that after the service. Then when he figured out it was her birthday, in the building where everyone eats after church, he had them sing that prayer. Which is still commonly done. Anyway, she never came back after that. Which is a shame because her husband has been my friend since I was in high school, not that she allows him to have female friends anymore.&quot;</p><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>9. From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/EdgeCityRed/">EdgeCityRed</a>:</h2><p>&quot;I have a family member who unfriends people on Facebook if they forget to wish him a happy birthday there. Hence, we&#39;re not friends on that site because I barely use it.&quot;</p><h2>10. From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/staroura/">staroura</a>:</h2><p>&quot;I knew a girl who made her friends plan a surprise birthday party for her, as in made a group chat, told them all to plan the party and made them decorate her house, then act as if the whole thing was a surprise.&quot;</p><h2>11. From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Ms-Peach55/">Ms-Peach55</a>:</h2><p>&quot;My foster mom told us kids and her friends that since she was disappointed by her birthday gifts every year, she had a birthday registry at her favourite store we could buy from.&quot;</p><h2>12.
