Damn. What do you do when you realize that you forgot someone's birthday?

And you realize this already the next day. Do you just pretend you didn't know? or just call them and have the awkward convo or...?
That happened to me with my ex I literally didn’t realize until 12am lmfao. I bought him a teddy bear and balloon to work the next day but he was still pissed. Nothing you can do but apologize they can either accept it or not 🤷‍♀️
@swirlie nah he’s my ex because he cheated and he didn’t do shit for my birthday so it made us even. Mind your own.

@Stark

You dragged your dirty laundry onto this website for all to view, plain and simple. If you don't like the interest that your post solicits, then stop posting shit about your failed relationship with your ex husband.
@swirlie he’s my bf not my husband and you’re the one making assumptions on someone’s story. It’s fine to question it but dont go off making assumptions as to why the relationship didn’t work without knowing the full story. Seems that’s all you’re doing with the situation. 🤷‍♀️
I don’t care. I move on. Ironically speaking, the people’s whose birthday I forget are the same people who forget mine. Whether intentional or on purpose.

If only this was the worst thing one could do! You can tell them you forgot and apologize. If you'd buy them a present, give it to them belated.

It's not awkward. "happy belated birthday" what did you do? how was your day, what are your plans for next b-day. Etc.
Wish them a happy belated birthday

Haha, I don't celebrated birthdays so I never have to suffer from this.

Call them, but don't apologize. Just call after the fact to acknowledge their birthday, plain and simple. Be cool, don't be guilt ridden with anxiety.

Don't send a belated birthday card either, because it makes it obvious that you genuinely forgot. Pick up the phone and call. Shit happens, but don't tell the person that!

If an ordinary birthday card that is mailed is obviously going to arrive at the person's house late, don't even send it. In fact, don't even buy it. Call them instead but call a day or two early and prior to their birthday to wish them a happy birthday over the phone. More personal that way!

There are many ways to subliminally disguise the fact that you forgot!

Then, after they have accepted your very classy, very personal birthday telephone call of which you DO NOT acknowledge the fact that you are painfully late out of the gate, climb to the top of the nearest volcano and hurl your sorry ass into the molten lava below, knowing as you vaporize that you did the right thing!
