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. 🙄

It seems to me, that resolving that the FIRST time it happened, might have been easier than... 3 years later. Lol! I wouldn't see the harm in saying, "Thank you, but my actual birthday is tomorrow." I don't think that would have caused any hard feelings... 😁🥳
