Clearly the gift your friend is gonna get you next year is so amazing that they were forced to skip this year to build hype.

My best friend forgot my birthday
- Thread starter TheDanger
- Start date
nah I actually forgot about it for a while until now.
No it's not weird and I really feel for you. Your best friend is an asshole and tell him that. Best buddies dont forget birthdays. He should have at least congratulate you.

This whole thing reminds me of the garfunkel and oates birthday song
It wasn't exactly the same, but close enough lol

It's weird that you've held on to it for three months, only to make a thread on GAF about it rather than confront the party involved.
Cut your losses or move on.
One day you will have your 30th birthday and on that day you will remember making this thread and think to yourself "I truly have come a long way."
You fucked up when you expected a present after getting him Bloodborne.
What. I could never remember my best friends' birthdays. Who cares? (Well, except for OP)

Truth!
I personally hate it when my birthday arrives. I don't want any attention. I think its fucking weird. I don't mind celebrating birthdays for family and friends. I actually enjoy how happy they are. To some people its a huge deal, and I will never understand it.
I've forgotten my own birthday before. Sometimes you have a lot going on or it just slips your mind. Honestly the only reason I check Facebook is once a day purely to see if I'm forgetting anyone's birthday.
I had someone ask me how old I was yesterday and I had to stop and think about it.

Congratulations on your birthday in February!
Take my congratulations as a gift from your friend who forgot your congratulations in February for your birthday and enjoy the congratulations until next February where they will hopefully remember that they missed your congratulations for your bday after you got him bloodborne for his congratulations, that bastard!

When you get older birthdays don't mean jack shit. You start to realize you aren't a special walking monument and you begin to appreciate it. I want my birthday to be treated like any other day and vice versa. Why should I buy you a gift because you are getting older? Also, you've been hanging onto this for months. Chill.

Oh please tell me you are going to give him a passive aggressive Happy Birthday remark that makes you wishing him happy birthday all about him forgetting yours.
Here's a question, and I know maybe I'm going out on a limb here and being ridiculous, have you thought about talking to him?
Why cant you remember one date of your best buddy? You are best friends. You know, there are people that care about birthdays regardless of age. If your best buddy doesnt care that's fine, but if he does you are an asshole. It's one date which could be in your Smartphone calender, could remind you on Facebook or you just use your brain to remember one date.
Dont you remember your parents birthday? Dont you congratulate them at least? It's a best friend and not a nobody.
There are some strange people in here. If he doesnt care okay that's cool, if he does, then that just sucks like in OPs case.
Guessing you are the same people not washing their hands, not washing their bed sheets at least every second week etc GAF is full of strange people..
There's no need to remember my friends birthdays. It comes up in conversation. They're not gonna throw a hissy fit if I don't bring them a balloon.
As long as you remember birthdays for Parents/partner/kids, the rest doesn't matter.
Your friend sounds like an ass.
You should get him DLC for a game he doesn't own for his next birthday. Or a game for a console he doesn't own. Or maybe just get him Bad Rats on Steam.
And when he starts complaining about it you can answer him snarky:
"Oh I forgot that you didn't own that game/console? At least I did not forget your birthday!"
He will be so ashamed that he will have to get you a Switch or Scorpio for your next birthday.

I dated a girl like you once. We'd be there watching a movie and then all of a sudden she'd get all pissed off about something that happened 6 months prior.
Are... are you her?
You're not going to throw a candle at my head out of the blue again are you?

happy late birthday op
sorry about that, shit sucks

It's not about friends. It's his best friend, his all time buddy. That's cool for you and your friends, but my best friend would be pissed too and I also would be a bit sad if my best friend forgot to take 1 Minute out of his day to congratulate me and maybe ask if we wanna get a Drink or something. Man you lifes are so busy lol Cold as fuck in here.

May the Schwartz be with you
My birthday was a few days ago and I totally forgot about it until I got messages on facebook -.-'
Yes, I said partner. You should remember the birthday of the person you're in love with.
So you haven't said anything for the last three months? What are you going to do, wish him a happy birthday and then say SEE? SEE? I REMEMBER BIRTHDAYS UNLIKE YOU 'BUDDY'? You sound like an absolutely miserable person and a shitty friend, my guy.
You don't make a big deal out of your birthday yet:
1) You're still upset, three months later
2) You felt the need to point out that you didn't forget HIS birthday and you even gave him a GIFT!
3) Instead of communicating your feelings on this perceived slight to your best bud, you come tell the internet.
Maybe he had stuff going on at the time, and it slipped his mind. Maybe he thought he had sent you a birthday text or a FB message and he has been unaware of this slight? If this minor ass thing bothers you after FIFTEEN YEARS of friendship, you shouldn't be friends and I hope he cuts you out of his life.
Shit, I barely remember my own birthday these days let alone others peoples.
Birthdays are over rated. There I said it.
Op, you should buy him a great birthday gift every year for the next 5 years. Every year get him something even better and more grandiose than the previous year. Then on year 6 when he is wondering what will I get this year - get him nothing. He will feel the same pain you felt and think back about the heinous mistake he made this year.

Yeah totally gotta grew up because i remember birthdays of my loved ones and have at least the time to Talk a few minutes with them and offer some drinks or getting some food to give them an even better day. Were I come from people also give food on their birthday at work or do something for everyone. They appreciate someone on that day even more and let them know. It's a nice feeling. Holy shit indeed.
Edit: oh arrogant smirk, why do I even reply to you lol
I feel you. People say it's not a big deal but it still kinda hurts.
My birthday was a couple of weeks ago and one of my friends who I spent most of my year hanging out with completely forgot about it. Not even belated wishes or an apology. I don't even want to bring it up because I would probably make it even worse.
It's not a friendship breaker but damn, it really makes you question if they even care about you.

As we get older and more stressed with life, the brain gets older as well. The brain if not exercised regularly begins to deteriorate. Age and stress only add to the deterioration exponentially.
Birthdays become just another day in a 365 day calendar year that doesn't stand the test of time or the importance to maintain the memory in a deteriorating brain.
It's just another day dude get over it. None of my friends wish each other BDay's anymore. Haven't done so in 10 years now. Too much other shit going on to even care to.
