You got ripped off.

When you're over 50 your birthday is just another Tuesday. I suppose after 70 they might mean something again as your chances of making the next one diminish?

What AquaSwing said. I keep thinking I've got my SIL trained to not buy me stuff for that and Christmas. They're just another day to me.

To be fair, she is good at getting me things (air fryer, for example) that I wouldn't have bought, but have become reasonably well-used.

I think my grandparents' birthdays started being a big deal again at 90.

I'd say except for 65, no one over 30 should care or even acknowledge a birthday.

Boss just obliterated the rescheduled holiday party. Took me and a couple other guys to North End all afternoon, stopping at all his favorite places and loading us up on meats, cheeses, olives, antipastos, breads, grappa, treats, a famous Italian sub from Monica's to bring home, dinner at Carmelina's involving half the menu, and a cappuccino at Caffe Vittoria to finish it off.

A very impressive boss move.

Birthday haters need more fun in their life. Girlfriend threw me a surprise party last year and it was awesome.

Sure birthdays are stupid, but so is existence and most things in it. Things that shouldn’t piss you off, but do.

My last birthday party...my friends convinced my girlfriend to meet at a restaurant that I didn't want to go to. I watched the Flyers game by myself when that's all I really wanted to do on my birthday. A couple of beers watching the game with friends seemed nice.. I met up with them after. It should piss me off.

Why the **** would I be receiving a call from the Netherlands? I didn't answer.

Recently, I've been getting calls notifying me that a loan of up to $30,000 is waiting for me, I just have to call back.

Strangely, the callback number in the VM isn't the same as the one which generates the call. I'm sure it's just a clerical error.

I'd counter and ask for a loan of $75,000 and see what they say.

Then when they say no, bump your offer to $100,000 to show them you mean business.

Author is so ****ing stupid it hurts. The first call from “amazon” was the reddest of flags.

Actually, even answering the phone was idiotic.

Step one, don't ever answer the phone unless you're expecting the call or it's a number you know. Step two, follow step one.

What AquaSwing wrote. Though I will admit, from time to time I consider answering just to waste their time. (I'm retired, time is on my side). But anh, I can find something else to do.
