This reminds me of what I saw a couple weeks ago on Facebook.
I saw a friend's birthday popping up on FB. Then messages to that friend sending wishes of happy birthday and good health, peace, and everything else people wish you on your bday, started popping up on my timeline.
The problem was: she died two months ago. I didn't know exactly how to feel about that...
The funny thing is that this happened in a small town (13k people), where everybody knows each other.
That's when I decided to remove my birth date from FB. That is about the only time most of your "friends" will remember that you (may still) exist.
- CodeCube 13y agoI'm fine with acquaintances that don't really correspond with me when my birthday rolls around. However I explicitly don't wish anyone a happy birthday over facebook. If it's someone that's important to me, I will make it a point to either text them, call them, or otherwise arrange to meet up with them in person. Otherwise, I leave it unsaid.
