For my best friends, I will call. I may send a FB message as well, but a phone call is a must. Otherwise, I am not very particular about going out of my way to acknowledge people's birthdays except my close family.

I'd be curious to see if you have an Excel spreadsheet that tracks the Happy Birthday wall post metrics that you receive on a given year.

At the end of the day, you should be grateful she thought of you. You never know what kind of circumstances were happening with her day (in a long meeting w/ no time to make a call, family commitment etc.). A good friend should receive the benefit of the doubt, not this petty B.S.

You sound completely self-absorbed. Friends to you seem like nothing more than "people who haven't offended me at a given moment in time."

Glad my friends are above this pettiness.


So many good responses. I don't think the OP is ridiculous, but she is being oversensitive. She's also projecting how important she thinks birthdays are onto everyone else.

Are you 12?

Or an only child who was raised in the "everyone is a winner" generation?

You are ridiculous, OP.
