Wouldn't you tell someone they got it wrong?

For the last 3 years or so I've been telling a former coworker "happy birthday" the day BEFORE his actual birthday. Finally learned that he 'didn't have the heart' to tell me I got it wrong. What's so hard about that? I'd tell you without delay that it's not my birthday instead of letting you repeat the error again and again. 🙄

Well it’s not really a big issue in the scheme of things, is it?

And if he thinks you’re the sort of person to blow things out if proportion he might leave it be.

@WanderingSavage Obviously not a big deal to him. I would just correct the error the first time. That's all.

@DreamyCrush why? What does it matter?
