Happy Birthday Faux Pas
by Hey guys... pretty bad... i was sitting at my desk all being nice and kind and not bothering anyone at all, when all of a sudden everyone from the office comes in and starts to sing happy birthday to me. I was like... ooooooooh man.. i think i musta turned beat red. So they were like.. CUT the cake!!!!!.... Its not my BIRTHDAY... cause its November 23, but they were like, SO WHAT, we are EARLY!!...and i was like... uh.. no, im on a diet, then they were like.. CMON cut it.. and i told them no thank you, and then.. i think it hit them, cause i told them when i first got hired that i didnt celebrate my birthday. So all of a sudden it hit them, and they were like.. oooh.. um... ok well happy birthday.. um.. i mean.. happy thanksgiving.. oh.. well.. um.. crap.. have a great night.. and left as fast as they could.. I felt terrible, it was a really big cake, and they must have went through SO much trouble to set it all up.
So, has this ever happened do any of you?

POOOOOOR POOOOOOOOOOOOOOR POOOOOOOOOOOOR me.... hahahahhaha.. it was crazy though...
hahahahahaha! what a retard you look like!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA Thats funny.
wow!! that is SOOOOOOOOOOO rough!! something similiar happened to me, they post on the email list everyone's birthdays for the month and then once a month have a big party for everyone, so this month, everyone's like come on! come in!! we gotta sing happy birthday to you! so that was pretty rough, but at least it wasnt in front of a whole bunch of people!!
aww that really sucks, situations like that are so awkward, and the sad thing is they were only being nice :-/
Just wondered, someone pointed out a few days ago in a musing that they couldnt get their head around guys meaning everyone.
Were u just specifically talking to those of the male species or referring to everyone?
Cos i use it for everyone, so i was just interested lol
hmm... i dont really understand what your saying, i dunno, did i say it?! haha
lol on ur article u said "hey guys", its just i use guyus all the time and some1 said, cant remember whjo it was, i cant understand how u can use guys for everyone. I was just pointing out that u do it too :-D
sorry for confusing u
nine, it was tpham in musing #9214. he was referring to the word "gize", not "guys". he just can't get used to the difference in spelling, i think.
actually ty doesn't like using "guys" when meaning a group of mixed gender. I've had this conversation with him.
ty didnt lern his english purty gud
rofl, awww
and i just don't like the word gize.. i mean i don't want to be nasty. but if it's proununced the way i think it's like UGH it can not be used to describe PEOPLE
Yea, yea yea yea yea yea
so ty, you sweating it out about tomorrow yet?
WE WON !
shutup, fag! we came CLOSE!!!!!!!
yea, considering you lost TWICE
this means WAR.
fag ? what...? thats clearly offensive and in now way belongs on this website.. and plus we won twice.
one time someone said happy birthday to me and i ran away crying
you handled it better then I did!
my suggestion is too just take off your pants.. they'll be so confused at whats going on .. they'll just leave you alone.. and walk away .. bewildered
i tried that... it works
i wish i was there... ;)
SWEEEEEEEEET
yea it's amazing how good it works.. unless all your co workers are women.. and then they just stay there and come on to you .. so.. it doesn't work in that situation
Once someone said happy birthday to me. I was so nervous that i threw up all over their shoes.
