It might come as a surprise to some, but I think adults that go ott about their birthday (drone on about it, have celebrations carrying over to the weekend etc) are extremely irritating and needy

I am not a fan of birthdays. Would never have a gathering or a party or anything of the sort. No thanks.

This year we went away to Italy so I spent my birthday in Florence and my bf took me to a v fancy posh dinner. It was DELIGHTFUL.

I think I did!
This is something I feel strongly about and a like wasn’t sufficient, “pal”

I feel this about people who book their birthday off work.
It’s just a bit ME ME ME.
Also i’d feel bad imposing a day off on someone else just for my birthday.

Always a good excuse to get as many people together as possible and get smashed.

Last 2 years I’ve done fuck all though. Go out for a nice meal with my wife and that’s about it. Don’t really give a toss tbf.

Oh I had the most fantastic time! You should do it.

Spent 5 days being lazy right here in Sicily:

Did a few hikes, ate loads, drank prosecco for breakfast.

Sounds amazing.
An ATD of mine is currently in Sicily with his Sicilian tv and he just loves it there.
Initially I was thinking of flying into south of France and then driving into Italy. Plenty of options :thinking:

Usually just go out for a meal or something similar, but have done other stuff on big birthdays.

I like to mark the occasion, but not a fan of being made a fuss of. Work have forgotten my birthday for three years in a row now and I’m totally ok with it.

Thinking about it I go to quite a lot of birthday parties, I think if nobody celebrated their birthday my life would be a lot sadder.

it’s my 50th on Saturday, but unless friends have arranged something without my knowledge (I sincerely hope they haven’t) I have no plans at all. I may try and get out for what has become a bit of a traditional birthday walk on Ilkley Moor but other than that I couldn’t really give a shit.

I take my birthday off because the boss will tell everyone it’s my birthday and then I have to listen to insincere birthday wishes and talk about what I am doing for my birthday when I would rather be at the pub with my partner, ignoring the rest of the world.
