exception is 21 when you are going out and getting sloshed for the first time with your own ID

bulllllshit that's the one day out of the year my GF goes all out and spoils for me. For that one day I am King of the world and treated like such. Not that I'm treated that bad on other days, but it's over the top for my Bday. This shit you speak on is NONSENSE man pure NONSENSE!

You must live a pretty sorry existence to have rules like that. Good luck to you.

i think they did a PA call for my 30th but nothing since then. so maybe only the big ones.

So do you actually get to drive the Zamboni?

The cake is not for you, you selfish bastard!!!


At my office, we get Happy Birthday sung and a cake of our choosing on or near our birthday. Everyone signs a card and the firm inserts a little check (which I think is very nice of them to do).

It lasts about 3 minutes.

We have a cake, with a mini-party once per month to encompass all of the birthdays that occurred during the month. Too many people here to do an individual one for each of them.
