  13. The last time it happened to me it wasn't my birthday. I was with my friend at Carnival, I walked to the bathroom, when I came back all the servers were singing and clapping around the table. So walked up behind them and started randomly clapping.

  14. I dispise when happy birthday is sung in any public place. I do not sing along. I don't even watch. I sit there looking in the other direction. If I am the one being sung to, I may even get up and walk away. I find the happy birthday song, no matter who it's being sung to, extremely unnecessary.

  20. i actually try to take advantage of the situation because most of the time the restaurant doesnt charge you for the ice cream or whatever they give the birthday person so its worth the embarrasment.

  26. I am extremely embarrassed when waiters sing me "Happy Birthday." Once, when I was in Yellowstone, they sang a modified version to the tune of "Home on the Range."
    "Happy Birthday to you, from the Yellowstone crew, have fun and enjoy your great day!"
